Rats!
We would love to get to Bretti.
Unfortunately this is just a couple of days before we're due to leave on a big overseas trip and it would be pushing things too far.
Maybe there'll be another Bretti adventure in Winter?

yes

In my opinion (if it is worth much that is) we will definitely be having more returns to Bretti. We havent mentioned the WINTER one as yet: this one i great but takes committment due to the cold, we still have a great time

Winter trips to Bretti are really a load of fun.

Cold weather / clear skies....Oh and yes the minus 4 temps., but don't let that put you off.
It was lovely during the day.

Smile winter trip

Now Allan and Geoff is it to be July or August this year? Will leave it up to someone else to start the thread in a couple of months for that one.

What would we do without central heating in our tents and sleeping bags ratef at -6

I think I might miss that one
Plan to be doing the Big Aussie circuit about then.
Probably be a bit more difficult to "call in on way past" like last year.
We'll See.

Can we have it around April or May?

I would be interested in a April/May gathering too. Currently the Feb trip is looking a bit uncertain for me due to upcoming work commitments.

Victor.

Can't hardly wait.

Bump!

You could only 'see' it Greg if you were there.
Or we could use your big wooden dob as a raft Greg.
If it clears Greg, it would be good to see you there though.

April/ May

Yep they (April/ May) sound like a goer to me (unless Deb has something planned).

You won''t see me at the Ilford event, I'm not that much into crowds for holiday weekends (Lostock is about my size limit). Although i will make an exception if i ever get to the "big one" in Texas.

And YES Greg it would be great to see you at one for the weekend. Are either of those months over school hols??

I've given up on hoping the weather will improve.
Just a couple of nights camping with my buddies will do me.
Any sucker holes will be a bonus.
13 sleeps
