I'd be up for this, it will be my first camp with you lot so that should be fun in itself. I was at Meelmore campsite last weekend after a day hiking in the Mounres. Despite farmer Patterson having a good big site there were far too many sunburnt, drunk folk there for my liking though :o. Good thing was, that they all packed up early on Sunday and headed away to stock up on more alcohol (and Aloe Vera too I hope!)
Where exactly is this campsite though??  ;)

Monday would suit me better as I'm working this weekend.. I'll ring Frank tomorrow and see if he can do the needful.

I'm working Tuesday but I'm also busy Sunday so I'm screwed all over the place I'm afraid.

I have just called Frank to let him know we are coming. He has advised that he had a few issues with rowdy folk so he has put a curfew on drinking time which will be 12am. Hopefully that shouldn't be an issue.. Also if it's busy he might have to put us in a field with cattle, again it doesn't bother me.. but just thought I would give you a heads up.

There's why we need to fight for our right to wild camp. Curfew, what is this, WW2  :o
