To Camp or not to Camp
by The Mind is WillingAt the ripe old age of 48 I have never camped before so this weekend I decided to take the bull by the horns and join the gang on a w/end in Edale. What can I say!! The site lived up to it's reputation (campsite that is) and so did the guys - had a great laugh and was glad to touch base with four new members. It was great meeting up with Noodles, Always a little further, Brookey & Trekkie and would like to say specials thanks to them all for kindly helping build "the house" and Ali for supplying it (and everything else!!!) and an extra special thanks to Brookey for leading the walk and getting us girls back before the bad rain fell. Plus the lovely time at the top of Mam Tor!!! Hope to

It was great to finally meet a few of you guys and thank you for your kind hospitality, even if you did try and blind me TMIW !!!

TMIW, Wigs, Snicks, Alibach, Trekkie, Noodles, Brookey Etc - thanks all for a great weekend which passed so quickly but with plenty of events!! That tent is like something out of Dr Who!! Twas my first ever experience of sleeping upright in a megga tog sleeping bag!! and the last I hope!! Lol
PPPit PonyAt the ripe young age of 48 it looks like you had some fun, great photos and looks like a great time had by all.
WnWalk n TalkI will second everyones comments! Great meeting Trekkie, Noodles, Brooky, Always a little further for the first time and good to see friends again, thanks for the help with "Big Bertha" We had a great time! We do things in style, if only we had that tent (palace) up on Friday! I don't do camping but it was a great weekend and the tent was impressive! I have managed to dry and fold the ground sheet on my own, tomorrows challenge is to get the tent dry!! I'm not sure I'll be camping again unless you can guarantee the weather. (apart from Sully, if it's raining we just may stay at mine and go over and look at the island! <img src='theme/emoticon_wink.png' />
