Sounds awesome. Any volunteers to bring a bag of crusty rolls and a drop of butter?

Typical contrary forecasts are a bit conflicting for Saturday night. It's either going to be lovely and dry or wet.

We're aiming to be leaving the cars between 1-2pm. Anyone that wants to wander up with us (and maybe carry an item or two  ::)) let me know. Anyone who doesn't have my mobile and wants it PM.

What are we serving with the Ham Hocks?

I haven't quite decided yet as I've been up to my eyes with work but the plan is a one pot meal, like a casserole, for everybody to share.

I'm thinking along the lines of baby potatoes, sautéed onions, chestnut mushrooms, puy lentils and garlic/herbs in a light red wine sauce, but I haven't totally finalised it yet.

I got three Ham Hocks as I am considering two for the casserole and one to be roasted.

A bag of crusty rolls wouldn't go a miss too for mopping up the juices  ;)

If it's clear tomorrow night it might be worth a wander late on to see if we can get a glimpse of the Northern Lights. There's due to be no moon so fingers crossed.

With the better weather approaching I'd like to give Annalong Wood a bit of a cleanup tomorrow afternoon or Sunday morning. It wont be long before the local yoofs start coming up again leaving their crap behind, while we're there we could give it a once over and try and carry down any crap that's lying around. Anyone that wants to give a hand pack a few thick binliners and a pair of decent gardening gloves as there's usually glass about. It doesn't take long. It would be nice to leave the place tidier so people will have less worries about bringing their kids up.

I know none of the rubbish is ours but we can still do the right thing and leave it in a good state for everyone else.

Plus, if anyone wants to clue me in on how so many people break so much glass stuff, fire away. They must be the most uncoordinated and careless cider drinkers ever ;)

As RedLeader has already pointed out come prepared for weather as it seems we are going to get it all.3 different weather sites give 3 different forecasts but all agree its gonna be cold so wrap up warm folks.

Finished work this morning at 2:30 and came out to a real hard frost and thats at the shore at sea level.

Has Jonno made it back yet Glenn, or is he still trailing that massive pot?

It looked a right beast  :)
