Ah man I love lamb :(

get rumblebum to grab a sheep when yer on top of meelmore, rumour is hes good at that sort of thing.....

Guys, looking like I might not be able to make this one after all  >:(, but I'm still hopeful!

RedLeader

That's a shame, fingers crossed you can make it. Between a slow roasted leg of lamb and our new plan for mulled wine incase it's wet it looks like it's going to be a classic!

I'm still hoping to make it (plus 1), I will keep you posted! I was thinking earlier in the week would it be an idea to maybe rig up a tarp or something to sit under if it does end up pissin it down?

RedLeader

We were thinking he same, looks like it might rain later on. If everyone who can throws in a tarp we'll get a makeshift shelter setup!

Looks like I'll have a few messages to do during the day so will meet up later on, so what times are people planning to land up at? and most importantly, what time will dinner be served?  ::)

is anyone actually doing the run? don't worry if you can't make it to the run, i'll bring a collection bucket to camp  ;D  taking orders for mmrt magazines, teddy bears, car stickers, let me know what you want and i'll bring them (or pop into hill trekker in newcastle to buy them)
think outside, no box required

Thought that leg of lamb might tempt you up  ::)  We are hopefully heading up early (1pm) before the storms arrive to get camp set up and and the leg strung up beside the fire. 

Dinner will be served somewhere between 4pm and 5am depending on how long it takes to cook 2kg of meat in torrential wind and rain  :P

Unfortunately the walk turned out to be pram unsuitable so I'm scuppered for that, however, I'm more than happy to donate cold hard instead. I'd actually quite like an MMRT teddy if they're baby friendly.

That leg of lamb tempted me too.  I'll make up a redcurrant gravy to accompany it, if I can invite myself to a morsel.  Anything else in particular that would make mouths water?  What time meeting at Carrick Little, 1pm?
Every carrot has a tunnel at the light end of the stick.

Plan is to leave Carrick Little at 1pm. I'll text you when we're leaving home, as usual we'll probably be late ;)

dead on.  Tip:  leave 15 mins earlier then you might not be late!

All sorted - me and plus one will be attending your soirée! The mrs doesn't like lamb so you don't have to save her any!! Lol  ;D weather is looking tasty !!  :o

RedLeader

Awesome, what time are you blowing down at? The weather seems okay to me. Low winds and a bit of rain from 9pm until 6am-ish.
