Anybody got a lawn?
« on: 22 April, 2008, 09:32:50 pm »
In the London area, that is.

Just wondering if we might pop round & try pitching our new tent (nothing exciting, like).

Anybody?  :)

d'Oh!  I forgotfer (as my youngest used to say).

Thank you - that's great.  We need to arrange a time to pop round.  I'll ask Butterfly to sort it - I'm rubbish with diaries. ;D

Isn't that what George Michael got arrested for (pitching a tent in Richmond Park)??? :)

Should all else fail, I share a big private walled lawn with a select few of my other ground floor neighbours that no one ever uses, only me when my mum brings the dog round on occasion.

Apparently before I moved in, someone pitched a marquee there and had a wedding reception!

My tents aren't as big as marquees (well, there's one.... :-[  ;D ), so I shall bear you in mind, thanks :)

I have a lawn, on which you'd be welcome to pitch a tent.
PM me to arrange, if necessary.

If you want to explore its transportability, I have a lawn in Marlow, whichj is eminantly cyclable!

I've got gravel, in Croydon, you could probably pitch a tent on it, but it's not as flat or comfortable as grass.  A reasonable amount of space though.
Actually, it is rocket science.

I think you probably get arrested for terrorism if you camp in a public park  ;)

I am still available.
Well-mown lawn half a mile from Burnt Oak, or 3/4 mile from Queensbury stations. (<2 miles from FCC Mill Hill Broadway) or quarter of a mile from Watling Street.

Big big thanks to LMM & partner for the loan of their lawn and provision of coffee! :D

We managed to pitch & take down both tents.  The High Point (from Millets, but not on the website, so no linky - sorry!) vis-a-vis tent was bigger than expected, and a decent design - should prove good value for money.

The Blacks Octane 3 was also a pleasant surprise.  A lot of tent for not much weight.  OK, so it's not a Hilleberg, but it will certainly provide ample interior space, and porch space for bike bags.  The colour may cause comment, but I really am not that bothered. ;D

We might just do that, one day, windy (so long as the midges aren't too rife!) :thumbsup:
