Title: This weekend 24-26th June
Post by: Matthew on June 19, 2011
After chatting to a few people at the I Plod and afterwards we agreed that it was far too long since we all met up, I for one have not seen some members in over a year ( minus the I Plod). I appreciate that everyone is busy and cannot fit in one of those iconic NI Wild trips so I was thinking what about a nice luxurious bit of camp sit camping this weekend?

I had thought of either Friday into Saturday morning or Saturday into Sunday. I quite fancy a return trip to Bloody Bridge for a few comfortable drinks around a fire with good friends. Let me know who fancies what.

It is nearly the end of term for me so I am planning to be out as much as possible.

Fantastic idea. We were saying pretty much the same thing. It's been a slow year, we should be doing more!

That said, I'm away in Fermanagh this weekend with the family I'm afraid.

I think the medieval fair is on on these dates, in shanes castle grounds. Saying the mournes are like 60+miles away and this fair is like 1 mile, I think I'l be going to that instead. Sorry, but this one has been in the calendar for a whil.

I'd deffo be up for a relaxed evening around the fire in Bloody Bridge, but like everyone else this weekend is out for me :(  I'd need to check, but the following weekend might be okay.  I've this Laser Comp to try out, so would be good to have you there Matthew to get some pitching advice!

I want to do something this weekend but the suggested; date was just that, suggested. If we could come to some sort or ideal weekend that would be good but I feel it should be soon.

i should be able to pop up on the above dates long enough to scrooge a burger or two but don't think i'll be able to stay overnight, low on brownie points after spending last weekend camping  :(

I would like to try and tie this down if possible. Friday is looking like the best night for this as it is given as dry. I have a few tickets for the Shanes Castle event so weather permitting I would like to do that on Saturday.

Thoughts as ever
