2009 Camping trip

[Gaz]

As a budget option to a carshow squig and cav gli suggested a club camping trip, after having a word with a mate of mine whos an avid camper, he suggested shell island in wales, a bit of a google and it seems ideal.

Im thinking this is more of a social weekend, you can come in any car bring whoever you want (kids family mates etc), its a calm relaxing weekend for chilling out talking rubbish and getting quietly drunk or just enjoying the weekend, rather than a complete pissup like pv etc.

Im thinking sort of late june/july ish

Any suggestions comments etc?

[Squig]

sounds ideal mate I'm game

[humbucker]

sounds good... i'll have to see if i'm about as i'm away a fair bit around then; wedding season and all that. would be good to come and meet those who i didnt catch up with at vboa

[himselfunknown]

I'm interested buthave a couple of weddings etc to go to this year, so it all depends on the date and cash.

But it would be nice to get away from it all for a weekend with other people who 'understand' Cav's!!

[Squig]

The date we're going is Friday 17th of July and we aim to be there mid afternoon, I'm hoping to be there for a full week but obviously this isn't obligatory, if you only fancy a few nights in a tent near the sea just come on down...
So to recap I'm hoping to arrive mid/late afternoon on the 17th and leave on the Friday following as and when.

If you have kids, bring them with and take them to the beach there will be people who will help with any tents gazebos etc...

[Gaz]

I'll be down for friday night/sat morning off home sun night

[cav_2.0_gli]

i'l be down.

im my fruit box, with a suprise 'en tow'

i'l probs come for a long weekend. thursday night, until Monday late morn/early afternoon.

will give me a chance to see how the 3.0 fairs up on a long drive, as in mid August, she's got a 600mile drive to southern Germany to complete in one stint (obv with tea, fag, petrol and euro tunnel breaks)

looking forward to it!

May go for this, depends on cash at the time, but with no tent I'll be sleeping in the cav.

[Squig]

Damnit I won't be able to make it to this I'm afraid guys - I have a wedding to go to. It's a family wedding too, so I can't really not show up.

Have fun anyway chaps!

ha! i'll be coming in from the east coast if i go! you can do it, the more the merrier, and the south coast has got to be nearer!

is there a confirmed list for this event now?

[dave]

right, owing to work i will be there.... but not until Saturday evening....

[Cavalier342]

I am really interested in this, but unfortunately as with most, its down to petrol costs and my stupid work hours lol. thursday friday saturday. how gay lol. I'm still thinking about it though, its not awfully far from Dorset Does it cost anything to stay there?
