Hope you all had a good night, it was good to finally meet you all and put some faces to the names! Sorry I couldn't stay maybe next time.

Was an absolutely cracking night, 12 out of 10!! Great to meet some new faces and catch up with some known ones! Thank you all for your company and the effort everyone put in to make that fantastic feast!!

I think we passed in the night, didnt realise it was you due to headtorch blindness until Oisin said 'That was Greyfox'

Had a great night, I was in bed earlier than the hardcore - just look at Spuds timestamp!!

I had forgotten I'd put that post up!! Must have been "too much ham"   

[LandyLiam]

you didn't even make it to 4am spud, what a fader 

another great night, enjoyed the good weather (much better than our last camp here) and the good craic, i think there was a few i didn't even get a chance to speak too all night such was the crowd, i made an early visit to camp with the kids to set up tent and decorations, then popped back after midnight for a 2nd christmas dinner, yum yum


my tent set up nice and early (makes a change to do it in daylight) with flags to ward off evil spirts who might want to steal my beer



our professional firelighter (arsonist?) greyfox makes a grand job of the campfire

[Greyfox]

I think we did, I was walking with my head torch off and saw you guys coming. I had contemplated hiding and jumping out but I didn't want you all to end up with granite impregnated beef.

[fourman]

A great baptisim for you ,as usual your ruffles
and truffels where fantastic.
It was the best xmas camp to date, as i
always say , if you told the other half that
we set up xmas dinner for twelve+ people
on an open fire in the woods while decididely under the
influence they would'nt believe you .
Well done guys!

Rofl... What a dummy.  I totally forgot about the turkey hat.  There's me thinking I was being all stealth, tucked down behind the tree, and didn't realise there was a flippin' turkey sticking out   I must have lay there 20 minutes lol

Now I'm embarrassed!!!

Brilliant camp, couldn't have been better.

Thanks to Greyfox for setting everything up, I appreciated the effort when the fire was keeping me warm.
Thanks to Liam for the decorations.
Thanks to Anne for the lift into town afterwards
Thanks to everyone else who brought some variation of food, there's too many to name, everything was perfect.

I would have been extremely jealous if I missed out on last nights camp, glad I could see everyone again.
