Twofo Summer Camp 2007!
Posted: Thu Mar 08, 2007 2:13 pm
For those of you that don't know already, we're planning a week long camping trip sometime this summer - it should be lots of fun and anyone from the hub is welcome to come along!
Yes, I know it's early but I thought we should start planning....
1) Dates: We really need to sort this out as some of you will need to plan time off work, arrange around holidays and whatever else - so spam away with when you're free/what time you can take off ASAP!
2) Where: We went to the Lakes last year - excellent location but a long way to travel for most of you! We need to decide is it worth going this far again, if not where else would you all like to go?
3) Transport: We need to know who has a car and if you're willing to drive. If we go the the Lakes again I suggest we do the same as last year, that is everyone come up via Darlington and I will drive people/kit from there [this saves me driving to the midlands and back again!]
4) Campsites: Ideally, we need to find a campsite we can book in advance, although many of them operate on a 'first come, first served' basis so we need to arrive early to secure pitches. Once we've decided on when and where I will start researching campsites.
5) Tents: If you're coming you need to bring your own tent - Cocodude + SpookyKid: I'll sort out your extra tent before the trip so don't worry about that. We will need to know who is coming so we can work out how many tents/pitches we need.
6) Kit List: Last time we did this not everyone had the right equipment! I will post a kit list closer to the time to let you know what to bring and what not to bring. Remember car space may be limited so please don't over pack! Please try to bring everything on the list - let us know if you don't have anything - I have spares of most things! Oh and as those of you who came last year will know: Come prepared for all weathers!
OK well I think that's everything we need to think about. So start suggesting dates!
