I've a silver "Y" reg Nissan Almera car, so wave if you see one.

For me, look for an H reg white Peugeot 205 (I'm hoping to be
able to pack everything in so I don't have to bring the
minibus - wish me luck 'cos with four of us I'll need a shoe
horn) and a tent rather like this one:

The weather looks good, but very cold for Saturday night. Actually, I
spent a night there a few years ago and it was the coldest May I've slept
in for many a year. So it's out with my -18 sleeping bag!

I'd better bring a fleece blanket as well as the bag then. I love
sleeping in the cold.... but only when I am warm.

Might not pack the bbq then. I'll chuck in an extra blanket instead.

Ah, that reminds me ...... buy Veggie sausages.

We *have to* have a BBQ. It's all part of the fun. I'm hoping the
midgies aren't biting yet.

J Reg Audi 100 here (Grey) and most likely the infamous Argos tent.

Have tomorrow off work - Hurrah! so will be heading up in the morning.
Hopefully arriving there early afternoon.

I'm wondering how on earth I'm going to get the tent and stuff
for four of us into one tiny Peugeot 205. I really do /not/
want to have to bring the minibus. Pity cars don't come with
compression straps...

<Note to self> Find head nets </note> I doubt if I'll bother
bringing barbecue stuff - I'll have enough problems packing
essential stuff in the car let alone the cool bag!

Can anyone tell me please where the campsite is for this meet, I'd like to
get there too. I presume it's somwhere around Patterdale.

Will get of work early and try to get there about 18:00, L reg blue banger
of an Astra.

Hi Martin,

It's near Brotherswater, just south of Patterdale. GR 403118 ish. See you
all eventually tomorrow!

He he! Mine was a D turbo with performance like a 1500 petrol but
economy like an 1100. Now on a non blown diesel 306 currently getting
it's left front leg sorted. The extra room is great - I used to fill
my 205 with stuff just for me - but the lack of performance and /buzz/
at M-way speeds isn't so great. :-(

I now think I will be arriving about 5.

I still have my L reg Quattro with a (C plate) but not for much longer I
hope. I feel the need for a change after 8 years. (2 Audis on the same
expedition will be a first and maybe a last as well. :-))

I hope you are right. (Metcheck doesn't agree with you.) Having read the
above I hung the Lightline back in the cupboard and extracted the
Redline. If I fry I will hold you personally responsible. ;-)

Yep.

He he! Mine was a D turbo with performance like a 1500 petrol but
economy like an 1100.

Mine's a 954cc pain in the wotsit with hardly any storage
space apart from the boot and a tendency to stall at the least
provocation. It's economical, and that's about all that can
be said for it. I hate it, and it knows it.

On the off-chance that I can make it to Brotherswater this weekend, what
sort of time would the Hellvellyn group be setting off on Saturday morning?

Ha! Ha! Sorry to laugh but I doubt you'll get a serious (and correct)
answer to that question. In my (limited) experience we dither until
at least 9:30.

Personally, because I am not a natural early riser, I would like to be
setting off at about 9-ish. However, it should think it will take a
skilled cat-herder to get us all facing the same direction before
9:30ish.

Hmm.. my last post seems to not have appeared on my news server.. odd ...
Anyways.. setting off shortly.. Looks like the look-out-for list is as
follow (just so I can print this and bring it along)

Jhimmy in a Y Reg Almera
Fran in an H Reg Pug 205
Martin in an L Reg Astra
Roger in an L Reg Audi Quattry
Mark in a J Reg Audi 100

-print-

See you later!

(P.S. Have found a hoarde of disposable bbq's I'll chuck in the back)

At least an hour after we say we will

It's usually always 9:30 apart from the one time that Martin decided
to join us for a day visit!

Myself and Allison will be at Sykeside about 8:30. Can someone leave
a note to let us know if you are in the campsite bar or a local pub.
