Permission sought and granted, I can attend!!  No plus 1s or 2s for a change.

Looking like good numbers, I can bump up the Mulled Wine provision to warm the cockles.

Me and Grace will more and likely be getting the bus up to Belfast, then to Newcastle.

We'll be in Belfast for 15.30 hopefully. Then onto another bus and arrive in Newcastle for around 5? It will probably take us around an hour or so getting to the campsite and what not, could be more because of heavy rucksacks etc. So we will arrive there about 6.15pm? (All going to plan and not missing any buses)

I'll may be able to bring Smash also(noticed no one has called it yet) depends if I have room in my rucksack and how heavy it is.

Hi-de-Hi Christmas Campers (All 28 of ya!!!)

Couple of things to draw your attention too:

Nobody has claimed the Mash Potatoes yet.... Gonna have to cancel the Crimbo Camp if we don't have spuds lol.  Could somebody volunteer for this please.

The location of the Christmas Camp can be found here: http://www.ni-wild.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1514.0

Lastly, could I remind everybody to have a read through the Safety and Responsibilty post and familiarise yourself with a few of the do's and don'ts.

Hold fire on the Smash for now... Hopefully somebody that hasn't volunteered to bring something will claim the Smash.

It's not hard but there are loads of variations. Just google "how to make mulled wine" and you'll get more links than you'll be able to digest. Also, I'm sure Chuck wouldn't mind if you messaged him, he did it last year and it was pretty blummin awesome!

Water Carriers is the answer and a big pot for boiling it all in.

What time are most people going down?

Unfortunately I can't stay the night but would like to call down for a bit. I'll have two young 'un's with me so don't want to be out too late  :-\

I think most people are aiming to be there between 3 and 4pm.  An hour to set up camp and collect wood in what ever daylight we have left and and hour or so for cooking the banquet.

I will be at camp no later than 4pm I reckon, unless the Turkey puts up a struggle going up the hill  :D
