Grumpy Old Git Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 OK, So 'lockdown' is over and we can all now get back to nearly normal lives so.... What about holding a late summer rally? I have put out an enquiry to the Bull In't'Thorn (now reopened) or, there is the (can't still be that bad?) Miner's Standard. There are others but the criteria is: Camping allowed Motorhomes allowed On-site B&B accommodation (for us 'older' folk) Function room Cheap! If you have a suggestion - Please write it here..... Please add your name below if you would be willing to come along (if we can find somewhere): 1. Grumpy Old Git - B&B 2. Rennie and Susieque campervan 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 @Grumpy Old Git is this you volunteering to organise something? I was going to look to see if I could organise something but I have just been too busy with work at the min! a change in occupation resulted in lots of training courses etc My plan was to try and just find a place with camping and a B&B and just have some sort of meet up to get things going again and hopefully allow @rennie & @Susieque to enjoy themselves too instead of all the stress of the music etc! they are getting old now you know 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also not too far north being somewhere south with a dislike for motorways. Happy to camp, bike and maybe car depends who and how and when. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 If the date worked I'd be up for it. Probably wishful thinking due to me working weekends though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbob Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I'd be up for that but I don't think Campervans are very in keeping with the spirit of the thing . Just saying . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a great location in Derbyshire but the closest place is a good drive away and you certainly wouldn't want to walk to the next village 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
