Northern summer drinks meet-up 23rd June 2018

[Shirl]

friedaweed do you know the New Delight? The campsite isn't all that big so probably gets booked up quickly in summer. It's just an ok pub but only a shortish walk to Heptonstall that has a really good pub. Not far out of town either. I think Dovydaitis is looking at staying there.

We could book the campsite now? Ish - the whole thing?

 

[kalidarkone]

I feel another poll coming on.....

 

[Dovydaitis]

I’m looking at camping as I’d rather have beer tokens (plus I quite enjoy camping). I’d be up for a u75 campsite takeover

 

[Kaka Tim]

is there a campsite where we can have a fire? not proper camping otherwise.

 

[Dovydaitis]

That Pennine site allows campfires....

Oh, good. I won't have to bring as much kindling for the fire.

We can still do it acapella ...

So who’s going to make enquiries for the campsite mass booking?

Need a poll first?

 

[kalidarkone]

I've posted a poll.
It's yes or no.
Closes in 4 weeks.

I stopped at the New Delight campsite a few years ago in a old caravan that was £25 per night. Caravan was perfectly fine & slept 3 of us. The pub was as Shirl says just Ok. It is IMO quite a distance from HB for drinking & walking back. I saw houses to rent down by the canal which is where I thought I would try for a return visit. You might find a Air B&B?

 

[Dovydaitis]

So now that plans are seriously afoot, do we have a meeting pub place in mind yet?

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Is this happening then? We're only a few weeks away.

 

[Dovydaitis]

I got the impression it was off as accommodation was an issue. I’ve made other plans now so I’m out

 

[Shirl]

I thought this was dead in the water now. Things got too complicated re accommodation and then the location moved to somewhere in North Yorkshire.
Are we not now focusing on our walk in The Peak District instead?

 

[friedaweed]

Make yer minds up then

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Yes, let's sack this disaster off and plan the countryside walk with plenty of pubs stops.

We may as well use the same date if that is doable for everyone.
