MN Camping Meet Up!!

[Patttsy]

Now, it is just a suggestion, following the lines of UKCampsite meet ups.

I am really good at making suggestions, no good at the fine details, if someone/anyone thinks it is a good idea we could if you are all in agreement try and go somewhere for next year (forward planning!!) Or the weekend before school starts in Sep 2006?

What do you all think?

(Don't all rush at once...I know my threads are sooo popular)

Yep, we would be up for it - can't do weekend of 2nd/3rd Sept. DD7 DS6

Wed be up for it! Also can't make many weekends this year but would try. DD1 DD8 & DD5

i think one next year would be fab! cant do this year. Jess is 2 in July and Becky will be 1 in october

Sorry DD11 not DD1 (although I sometimes wonder)

SS....I gather from a few other threads that actually while you are foraging shitly in the archives you are not revising! Will MN be accepted as an extenuating circumstance???

(what's it like, eh? Total strangers nagging you!!! )

Well that's okay then!

Like the idea of a camping meet up....suspect DH will run a mile though ( can't cope with MN...every time he looks he only sees the cringey threads...which I won't detail, cos one man's cringey is anothers very important and worthy!!!)

We would love to come! Dates are still very flexible. DS9 DD7 DS4 DD 3months.

Sooo, next year seems initially to be good idea for everyone.

Now, the fun bit, we do we meet up, bearing in mind there are MNers up and down the country (and abroad!)? Do we want a campsite/caravan park with loads of amentities or just a lovely site in a good location? In forest/woods or near beach?

If we post some of the websites of places that might form a shortlist?

What do you think? Do you think we'll be able to come to a consensus?

~Am I killing this thread too~

Oh! I'll have to have a look at home (at work at mo) cause if I open a pop up my bosses spyware switches on!

Thanks sallystrawberry:)

Arrrghghhhh

Only because I am desperate to go but away already that weekend (unless you lot fancy Seaton for carnival weekend?), or 1st week in holidays.

Any other time yes, aboslutely.

ds's, 5,6, 3 next month

I'm still up for it! But can't do the last weekend of the hols as we're on our way back from France.

Are you now thinking of next summer or still the last week before school this year?

Sorry... I must be easily confused!

Probably next summer would be best, most people have book/made this years' holiday arrangments I guess.

Have been able to look at sallystrawberry's link as my home computer is playing up, major breakdown

I was thinking maybe we could suggest the campsites.

i would be up for that next year, sounds fun, any idea on were?

The consensus last time was Gloucestershire iirc, as fairly centrallish and accessible. The forestry commission have a site there, but I think some others had recommendations too.

We need to know, perhaps, where everyone is? I'm in South Wales, 15 minutes from the Bridge

I might be interested, are we bringing kids?

sorry, am in Cheshire/South Manchester.

I'm on the South Coast near Poole.

im on the iow

im in essex.... and cant travel too far coz of nightmare kiddies!!!

We'll travel within reason- we need somewhere very central don't we? We couldn't go to the east coast with DS1, but middle would be OK
