DSC - June 3rd to 6th - Blacklands

[Carole]

I've booked but just got a Reply as follows:

We have availability for those dates; I have reserved space for your party and really look forward to having you camp with us...............

Carole

[Mike]

Booked.

[MarkS]

So who's going?  I hope to get there but may not be able to come down until Saturday lunchtime.

As we have to pay at the gate (I think there is an honesty box or something - not been here before), what is the cost per night with Hook up i.e. is this classed as peak season or not?

Carole

[mickw]

Peak season is bank holiday weekends only so this will be low season.

The honesty box is the letterbox in the office/hut in the entrance to the field if nobody is there.

[mickw]

So it looks like Me, Mike , Carole, Fay, Dougnrose, Mark and Alan(?)

I think the event tent might be a bit of a liability here - nowhere to tuck it in

Given the nice warm weather forecast, I suspect Blacklands will be busy.  But Mick's awning might provide shade

Et moi aussi !!!

Duncans chickening out and going to France 

Possible crisis -
They have refurbished the toilet blocks at blacklands and the new photos show a nice new light fitted to the end of each block.
Whoever gets there first - use your best judgement - probably Fay

[mickw]

A better location would probably be on the corner near the broken tractor and the other field then work our way back towards the bog block - assuming we will have a choice

[The Thing]

Mick, Fay, Mike (Cris?), dougnrose, Robert, Carole, Mark, «Duncan» and Alan (?).

Nice crowd, just missing Tony and Chris. And Paul, John, Julian. Lightweights!

I should be there around 1:00. I am in France for the end of July Mick.

on the corner near the broken tractor and the other field

Is there hook up here?
Like Fay I'm only set up for Hook up these days.  Leisure battery had died.

Thanks Dunc,

No one has said such a nice thing to me in a long time. 

House hunting at present and weekends are really the only time to view, as by the time I get home after sitting on the M25 for hours most people are asleep and tucked up in bed (Apart from astronomers)

Have a good weekend, as the weather is looking good.

Sorry Dunc, I had you down as a lightweight for June - I'll amend records to July/August  

Carole yes, unless they've also changed the layout
