The kids have been asking for a camping trip soon and where better to bring them than Rams Island! Let me know here if you fancy it and a few dates that suit and I'll get a trip organised.
-
Yes mate but not sure about the rest of my tribe lol ???
-
I'd really like to get our 6 year old over for another camp before the weather gets poor but as ever, my weekends are a bit full at the moment. Any idea what weekends you're thinking of?
-
I'm easy, Sept/Oct is fine if it suits everyone. I'm happy to wait a month or so to get a good crowd. Torp, you can look after mine if you want 😆
-
Sounds good!

Heggs I remember the last time with kids sliding down the bank on their butts and covered in mud (NO thanks mate) ;D
-
Haha, I never made it to rams last time but that sounds like great fun!!!
On the list for next time: full change of clothes 😉

Hi guys I'd be up for another wee camp sept/Oct would work for me :) :)
-
I'd be up for this too, and would be bringing my flock with me.
Dates that should be good for me: 2nd Sept, 16th Sept, 30th Sept, 14th Oct , 28th Oct. There's a prize if you can spot the pattern lol

Is there anymore thoughts on dates for this, most weekends should be good for me so I'll just go with the flow :)
-
The 30th Sept, 14th Oct and 28th Oct suit me. Anyone else wanna narrow that down and I'll get it arranged
-
Any of those would do me, although the 30th or the 28th would do me better ;D ;D ;D

-
How about going for the 30th of September then? Get the camp in sooner rather than later.
-
30th September should suit me, I'll double check tonight. Should suit Dowser too.

Suits me also and so do the rest lol ;D
-
Sounds good to me ;)
-
Sorry guys, I've made a boob, the weekend of the 30th Sep doesn't suit me, apparently I'm already booked to go away somewhere! I'm alright the weekend before and just about any weekend in October except the 14th. Plough on if it still suits everyone else, we can get another camp sorted no probs.
-
How about the 28th of October? Gives people plenty of time and we can have it as our Halloween camp. Let me know and I'll get it booked
-
28th sounds like a plan :)

Great idea, I'm in :D :D

Guys, Michael has said that the boat is coming out of the water in October. It is planned to be back in for the 28th but can't guarantee it. What do you all think?
-
I reckon we let fate decide. If the boats in the water we do Rams, if she's still in dry dock we can head to Annalong or Donard wood for the night instead.
Either way we get a night under the stars ;)
-
Its a date lol - The 1st NI Wild Fate Camp! 😆

FFS, sorry, the 28th doesn't suit me either, forgot I was booked to take the kids away for halloween. October is just a screwup for me. Just crack on anyway and I'll get a date for another camp sorted once I get my life in order.
-
Lol - If thats the case will we just stick with the 30th of Sept as planned for rams then follow that up with an Annalong camp early November?
-
Two camp sounds better than one lol I'm in :) :) :)
-
I have confirmation - Rams Island is booked for the 30th of September. Let me know who is in and how many plz.
We can do another camp early November at rams/Annalong etc. which can be arranged after.
Everyone happy with that?
-
I'm in chum. Looking forward to it.
-
I would love to join you guys for a trip, however i can't do the 30th September, however i will keep my eyes open for any in October or November!

Keep your eyes peeled for the Christmas camp, drinks and grub a plenty its a brilliant way to get December off to a bang.
-
Heggs stick me down for the 30th of this month please ;)
-
No problem Torp.
So far then it's:
Glenn
Torp
Heggs +4
No time for anything +1
Dowser + 3
Anyone else wants to go, just post here. I think everyone knows the score with meeting point and cost so I'll just organise the time closer to the 30th.
If anyone has any questions, please ask!
-
Put me down for 2, time to introduce my wee one to a night under the stars :)
-
Good stuff, the more the merrier!
-
I'm still on for this one, and will have three of the kids with me.

Definitely can't make this one, enjoy yourselves folks.

Hey guys, can someone confirm where we meet up, never been to Rams Island before?
Thanks
-
Give Sandy Bay Marina a wee pop on Google maps, we set sail from there :) :)
-
Cheers Glenn, I might have another 2 interested as well. Any idea what time we are looking at leaving and returning?

I think we are heading over around. 2pm and we usually pick a time to return that suits everyone (usually lunchtime) Heggs will be posting more details soon. Cost is usually £10 per adult and a fiver for kids.
-
We're looking at 2pm pick up from Sandy bay marina (link below) and it's usually around lunch time when we return.
Just so that everyone knows, it's £10 for an adult & £5 per child.
Looking forward to it!

Looking like a wet one :'(

Yeah mixed forecasts, hopefully the one's that say it's gonna be dry are right and if not sure it'll be a good test for our gear ;)
-
Guys, unfortunately Dowser has had to pull out of this one 😕
Regarding the weather, as it stands, the camp is still on. We can keep checking weather reports and decide on Friday if things look a bit too rough. I'm still looking forward to it!!
-
Its not looking too good so far, could be another weekend in beside the fire
