Hi Guys,
I thoroughly enjoyed the meet in the spring.
I shall be in India for most of Sept, so would prefer early October.
Having used the Lion at Blakey Ridge, why not relocate to somewhere else? How about somewhere the other side of the Pennines? Cumbria, for example?

Atwoke 24 Jul 2006 13:04

Funny you should mention that, Baldrick..

Brad/Jake and I had the same thought and I just spend the weekend investigating pubs in Northumberland and the Borders - again. It was a terrible task to be confronted with, but someone had to do it....

I think I've found a nice one. Just waiting for the confirmation of the camping field being available.

It seems that most people will be back from their travels (or still in UK!) around beginning of October. Therefore, for booking purposes and other benefits (access to Otterburn range!) I would propose to fix the dates to the 7/8 October. Interested volunteers could obviously start on the Friday night...

Does anybody have any objections to moving the venue to Northumberland/Borders?

Any objections to 7/8 October?


Let's have a good one!!

Jens

We're out, at a wedding w/e (not ours, already there), but whatever suits the masses

BDG 28 Jul 2006 18:34

October sounds good to me, if not Northumberland, how about either Tan Hill, the highest pub in Britain just of the A66, or i know a couple of pubs in the lakes which are good (haven't used them for a few years though)

bonzo 4 Aug 2006 09:32

Tan Hill,hmmmm - remember my last night there!Bloody big generator cracking up every half hour.Maybe I didn't quaff enuff..........

andybee 4 Aug 2006 10:36

Hey chaps,

Having not been to a HU meeting before, I'd like to come along to this one, if that's okay? I live in Penrith, which is pretty close to the areas you're talking about, so let me know if I can do anything by way of research etc to help out.

Cheers,

Andy

For some reason every time i've stayed there i've been oblivious to anything, can't think why?

I've heard Tan Hill has new owners, the old lot were great, very helpfull and a right laugh, didn't mind us turning up covered in mud on dirt bikes

Bump.

What's happening? Oct. 6/7/8 is still best for me.

Regards, Mick

Atwoke 31 Aug 2006 12:54

Well done, Squid

Can't believe I didn't update this for so long....

Current status:

Still planning Northumberland on 6/7/8 October.

Unfortunately it cannot be the Rose and Thistle in Alwington as the farmer doesn't want us camping on his land... Strange one, never been a problem before!

I have a couple of alternatives in Northumberland and will confirm final location this weekend, if there are no major objections. I know Tan Hill was mentioned, but it does sound like a noisy old place...

Based on aprils meeting I estimated participation to be between 20 and 30.

Just to check that, Everybody planning to come say 'Ay'!

Chocks away!

Jens

chris 31 Aug 2006 15:22

Ay!
Any location is fine with me.

2 Ays!
If there is anything we can do to help out, just shout.

Iain & Debz

Atwoke 1 Sep 2006 13:00

Thanks for the offer, Ian & Debz. :clap:

Since there is very little work involved in arranging a place to camp for a bunch of weirdos, I think I'll be fine. :innocent:

If not I'll get back to you. :biggrin3:
