Hello All;

Has there ever been or is there a yearly camping meet / weekend?

I have never been camping before but would love to give it a go?

How about this as a idea for a weekender - I'm probably treading on someone's toes here. But it'd be cheap & fun (like me )

What do we think?

Thanks :slayer:

Most of the weekend car shows are camping and boozing :devil: or we done a weekend in the lake district this year so plenty of oppertunity for you under canvas

Cheap and fun, eh? Classy.

santa pod had lots of camping

but it was fooking cold!!!

honesly, you DONT want to go camping any time soon

Donny 2005 we camped at Easter and it was berluddy FREEZING, it snowed and had frozen to ice by the morning, along with our extremeties Safer to save it for the summer methinks (not that we had much luck with that either, trudging round the lakes in the rain). I would go again though

i've camped in gales/storms and the odd bit of sun its all part of the fun i've even got two tents

I'll go, if its in door camping in a nice hotel with comfy bed and heating

Camping at Santa Pod was LEGENDARY :slayer:

but just a little bit cold

A man after my own heart

There is no way i can go camping in the cold! I have a pro-lasped disc in my spine, so i can just about cope with it in the summer!!

i didnt think you had one

A few of us went camping to the Lakes in July, would do it again

Check out the Northern Camping trip posts to see what we all got up to last time.

Youre all wusses, just buy a camping heater

Camping? Oh, Danny la Rue, Julian Clary, Elton John, Boy George....oh wait....

I am the ultimately die hard camper, me. Rain or shine, snow, gales, you name it I will go out in it, and I tend to avoid those poxy campsites with all the mod cons like food, toilets, showers, etc. If you go camping it has to be done properly. Wild camping is the only way forward! In fact, I am grabbing my tent and bag now and am off! Fog or no bleeding fog!

By the way, whenever the next camping meet is then I will be there - unless Charlotte is brave enough to suggest one sooner?

We have James - means we need at least basic facilities.

Camping in snow is fun..

I'll join you centuar, man after my own heart. Where ya off too or are you jesting??

Seriously though, If you don't have the right equipment this time of year you will have a horrible/dangerous time.

Save it for the summer when ya don't even need a tent nothing better than sleeping under the stars!

We were talking about last years Lake district trip, you would have drowned or froze with out the car

I was only half joking, Kristian. I am seriously thinking of buzzing off tomorrow for one night somewhere. I have all the right gear which has been tried and truly tested in Alpine winter conditions, so I will be ok.

If you, or infact anyone else, wants to join me then pm me and we can sort something out!

Ah right, well have a good time anyways .

Sadly I'm a fool and will be braving B'ham to do my last minute shopping on saturday.

Will prob be there till closing :bang: Gonna be a nightmare lol. more dangerous than any winter camping I can guarantee!
