Splendid. Did you have any probs getting booked in this time?

Sarah and I are up for this. We are booked into the campsite  ;D

I dont think the problem is booking, its just actually getting on to the site when you arrive there ;D  I've got a plan though - tracksuit, some bling and 36 tins of Special Brew at the ready.  Seems to be the required "look" to get you on the site :D

Looks like I will be going to this one.  I forgot I had posted in this thread but havent actually confirmed I'm going to be there!

If I can get myself back in the good books with SHMBO, we may head up to Commedagh for the 'plane watching, then down to Meelmore for the BBQ...and I'll wander back into the hills for a bivvy (Bearnagh perhaps), while she heads back home. May sneak our 2man tent along...but don't fancy my chances of getting her in it even in Meelmore...

Chuck your just making my day worse :-( your going for a bivvi , I have been told I have a wedding party to go to . I hope weather improves as I just got drenched walking the dogs .
Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.

Just heard that the Red Arrows are still happening this weekend, they inspected their ejector seats and all seems ok
think outside, no box required

We'll probably be heading down in the morning. If you wanted to throw me your tent we could stick it up for you (but you'd still need to get your car in ofc).

suppose you could just throw up a few "dummy" tents to reserve the spaces, if you're anything like me you'll have a few spares (damn those car boot sales  ::) )

suspectmonkey

And there was me thinking car camping just meant rolling up, reclining the drivers seat and snuggling up in your sleeping bag :D

If nothing unexpected crops up I'm gonna do a solo Wild Camp/Bivvi on Friday night and meet you all on the top of Commedagh Saturday for the Red Arrows.

Starting Point and campsite still to be decided.

Cheers for the offer J but I could not accept that, its far too much trouble. We will just get our asses there at the same time then go into the town for a bit.

At the minute we're trying to be at Meelmore for 1130 to give enough time to get the tents up before tackling Commedagh. If anyone needs to spot us I'll have a Vango Juno Teepee (orange/green I think) and SuspectMonkey has a Vango Tempest and we'll be in his black Seat.

We'll have the walkie talkies on channel 6 if anyone has them.
