Summer Meet at Ivan's Place on Dartmoor 2nd and 3rd July 2011

[jonajuna]

Hi everyone , as you know the main point of this meet is , for a serious walk for a select few , so we have to put a cap on numbers , don't want to be a spoilsport , but Martin and his team need a good nights sleep , early to bed, early to rise and its great to have base camp support , but it can't be perhaps as noisy as usual, so if somebody with a bit of technical savvy can start a confirmation list of base camp dwellers that would be brill..

Its not me being a miserable sod, anyway once they have set off we can do what we like ! Its just the evening before , we just have to be a bit considerate , i am sure you understand .

Thankyou
Ivan...

sounds like a challenge to me!!!

but then again, i have always been the first to bed, so wont be any noise on my part!

dont put my name down yet, but i am working on permissions, subject to having recovered from Glastonbury of course

and ive always found you to be a miserable sod, purposefully importing mossies to my fav pitch, abandoning walks cause of a little bit of damp, murdering sheep and bunging them in holes full of hot rocks........

Edit your list again Adam, count me in.

Is there an option of coming down on the Friday night Ivan? Don't want to push me luck or seem cheeky, just kind of makes it a little more worthwhile with a two night stop out. I will bring the still organic cider as mentioned in a previous thread but must be consumed responsibly and considerately bearing in mind the poor souls setting themselves up for one hell of a hike. Completely with you on this one Ivan, they are going to need the rest.

Thanks

Justin.

Hi Justin, of course you can arrive on the Friday, give me a shout if you need directions / tel. nos. etc.

PS are you bringing the meerkat ?

No meerkats this time, they have a few behavioural issues. Will give you a shout a bit closer to the time and get the necessary info, thanks Ivan.

Just a quick note , most of you know there is a 1.2 km walk from vehicle parking to the site , and i have most heavy items there , so be aware that you will have to carry what you bring . Adam and myself will be on hand to sherpa and guide , also mobile phone reception is a little sketchy on most networks, i will leave a set of directions/instructions at the car parking area to follow , if no one is there to greet you , now the horrible bit , apart from those taking part in the walk , i am going to charge £5.00 per head , regardless of how long you stay , so 1 night a fiver or 4 nights a fiver , thats the kind of cold hearted businessman i am ... no it just goes towards the upkeep of the site etc thanks.

I wouldn't worry about the 4 days, its still only a fiver! Ivan - you set yourself too cheap, not that I'm really complaining of course.
