Bear with me....

I was thinking about posting in Camping Topic re a mn summer camping meet up (shush now you canvas mockers), and I thought

'oh well it should be somewhere central'
(which in my head is Leics or thereabouts, maybe Rutland)

but then I thought

'Oh no the Scottish Campers'
(so up a bit, probably Lancs)

and then the Welsh
left a bit...Lake District. v nice)

and then The N Irish, to tick off the UK
(Isle of Mann)

and then

I started thinking about Kerry Mum
(camping in Irish Sea...no)
and
Califrau
(atlantic Ocean)
and MrsJC
(magma)

(apologies to well know oversea mners that I have missed out).

So then I Wikipedia-ed, which made me realise that my UK geography is pretty spot on really.

But left me no closer to the original question.

So do we know, where is our mn distributions most central point?

As an antipodean I can quite safely advise you that I do not camp for fear of being bitten by something deadly. It's just asking for it IME.

That's Sydney's opinion.

Obviously Perth campers would swing things West, Melbourne South and Brissy North.

The NZ lot are SW. Think they are more likely to camp.

MrsJohnCusack · 07/04/2008 22:56

ooooh where are you going to go arfishy?

arfishy · 09/04/2008 11:50

I think we'll try for a ski-ing holiday in Wanaka.

It will just be me and DD. Do you think it sounds ok? I have no idea about ski-ing outsie of Europe.

MrsJohnCusack · 10/04/2008 11:17

oh I don't know anything about skiing TBH
but Wanaka is lovely

arfishy · 12/04/2008 11:29

Ooh that's reassuring. TBH if it is only me and DD I don't think there will be a great deal of ski-ing going on.
