Freeze your bits off overnight camping trip

The Essex chapter have come up with an idea.  We go camping overnight at this eco pub that has its own micro brewery and campsite.  Who thinks this is a good idea?

Oh, did I mention we want to go in January?

Still interested?  Start typing ...

Count me in definitely -- any thoughts on a date?

I wonder if this lot will be in attendance?

Suggest a date if you like.

I do hope the silly dancers won't be there.  I hate being in the company of nutters.

Don't think I'd qualify for "the Essex chapter", but a direct-ish route looks like about 45 miles.  Could be interested, depending on when you're planning to go and how much it's been snowing.
Half term's when the traffic becomes mysteriously less bad for a week.

That's a bit harsh...

The whole point is that we're camp!

NB: you don't have to have any associations with Essex to attend.

Essexiness isn't compulsory... heck - the pub itself is in Suff**k.

Well, I could piss in a bottle and give it to you to warm your sleeping bag if you like Reg?

Obviously I'm in. I think I'll just take loads of clothes rather than relying on warm piss....
Those wonderful norks are never far from my thoughts, oh yeah!

I suggest Friday 15th January.
I also suggest warm socks, gloves, thermal knickers, a hat and a house.
And check the seals on any hot water bottles. Just in Case.

Do we want to do a Friday or Saturday night?

By the way, referring back to our conversation at The Norton last Friday, there has been a development.  One of our Pyrex measuring jugs has just developed a chip and been deemed unsuitable for kitchen duties.  Which means it can be used for scientific purposes.  I will keep you all informed  ;)

A Saturday would work better. More time to get there and set up in the light.

I am inclined to agree.  In that case what about Saturday the 16th or 23rd?

I'll repeat what I said on the day. It's about a pint, sometimes more sometimes less.

16th is better for me...
But if you decide 23rd I'll come over for the evening and then ride home drunkenly.
