Would you put me down for a possible +1 as my wife might like to go, depending on weather (any other wives / other half's going?)

Put me down as confirmed and I will bring the roast parsnip and carrots. How many are we likely to be feeding?

RedLeader

Not completely sure yet, probably wont know final numbers until closer to the time.

Hi Guys,

Count me in this year. My time spent in the Mournes has generally been a very solitary thing for me but it would be nice to get more involved and meet more like minded people.
I am not much of a chef but I can bring some mashed potatoes, as much as I can prepare at home and carry.

remember I said I might be going. well I will be going. I have got 5th and the 6th booked off work for holiday. My brother will be going too. so you can put me down +1 no longer tentative.

I will still be bringing christmas crackers, but I also will try and bring in some mince pies and cream, since I drive now.

Can't wait and see you all there.

Looking forward to this one guys.   It's always good to catch up with old friends and make some new ones.

Can someone tell me please, how far it is from the car park to the campsite and whether there are any steep hills or climbs? I am a senior citizen!

I'd also like to know if there are two trees at the location from which I could hang a hammock? I also have the tent but haven't made my mind up which to use, as yet!

Thanks for your help.

Hi Tim.
It's quite an easy dander up to Annalong wood about 30 mins will have you there at a nice easy pace with no steep hills or climbs. As for trees well it's hammock heaven trees everywhere.
Get your name down its always a great night.
Take your time you'll see so much more!
Without goals you cannot score!

Thanks very much for letting me know.

Count me in.

Let me know what you would like me to bring in terms of food and drink please?

Tim

Good man just pick a food item off the list that someone hasn't already got dibs on and your tipple of choice and that's you good to go.

I will bring:

Christmas Pudding with Custard 

Need to know, eventually how many to provide for, in the meantime could you let me have a wild guess?

Glenn B

Probably be around  20-30 people but keep a wee eye on the list of attendees as it gets closer to blast off for final numbers.

Ho Ho Ho Christmas Campers,

Just thought I'd stick a wee post up to let you know why I've been so quiet leading up to this years Christmas Shindig,  when normally I'm up to my roasted chestnuts in the arrangements.

Well, this year I have a wee one on the way and with babies being babies you just never know when they are going to arrive.  All I know is that she will be here a few days before, or a few days after, the 5th and I'm guessing even Santa couldn't get me a Pass Out for an overnighter to the Christmas Camp.

Best I can do is try and pop into camp for an hour or two for a festive drink and a taste of Rumblebums turkey... ooh err missus!!!

I'll keep in touch and let you all know if I'm on my way, in case you need me to pick up some forgotten Cranberry Sauce or such likes.

Merry Christmas One and All

Dowser
