BRETTI RESERVE 2012: Feb

[Arthur Alchin (Arthur Alchin)]

Hey Morton you still there????

If so do you need me to chuck in the spare tent??? It's not the most expensive one but it is honest and keeps you dry or it did last time i used it. (have only used it 2-3 times since new)

I know!

But it seems that the only clear nights lately coincide with the big night light being switched on.

[Inmykombi (Geoff)]

Unless its realling Pissisting down I will be there.
A few clouds wont stop me from having a nice break.
Of course cloud free would be great, but I need a break.

Twin servos at 8-8.30 for a 9am departure is it ?
Regular stop off at Glouscester for supplies of the liquid nature I guess as well.

Does anyone know if we can have a campfire there at this time of year ?
We may not need one if its hot, but it would be good to be able to boil the billy and cook over an open fire again.

[Arthur Alchin (Arthur Alchin)]

I have, this minute spoken to Gloucester Shire Council and there is definitely "NO RESTRICTION ON SETTING CAMP FIRES".

The final comment made was "good luck finding some dry wood" hehehe.

[Arthur Alchin (Arthur Alchin)]

I have two boxes of good dry wood.
Probably enough for one night.
I'll throw that in the back of the van.
Its just taking up space in my garage anyway.

[Inmykombi (Geoff)]

We can always buy some firewood on the way.
Mozzies seem to be out in force around here, so bring the Aeroguard in case they are there as well....

[jakob]

Can't wait!

[Arthur Alchin (Arthur Alchin)]

One spare seat in the CRV (free) witk your name on it if u want it. We can always accommodate your gear between us all in the vehicles.

[Rick Petrie]

Last look at the seven day forecast seems to indicate that the weather may be reasonably OK. Let's hope so anyway!
On the Mr Owl issue.....you know you want to come and we CAN accommodate you so don't feel bad about it OK. Right now, that's settled that. Here's the way.
1. No need to bring your car. | Mine or Arthur's available.
2. No need to bring the asymmetric tent. | My caravan annexe is available.
3. Scope and stuff. | BYO in my van or use ours.
4. Food and drink. | You may want to bring some.

As you can see, we want you there. You've just won Lotto.

as mentioned earlier, i will be bringing two boxes of good DRY hardwood.
But that should account for only one night (or two if economical )

[Inmykombi (Geoff)]

I'll need to buy more for the other nights.
We gotta keep the billy boilin'.

I'll see if I can get some locally, or if not, on the way up there.

[Inmykombi (Geoff)]

Almost fully packed for a quick getaway.
See you all at the twin servo's in the morning.

I wonder what I have forgotten ????
It wouldnt be a camping trip if I didnt forget something !
