I knew you would say that. If everything goes to plan I will be…

Is a 2012 kia sportage with 100k on the odometer too new? Bear in mind it's 13 years old. 

I reckon I could get a double airbed in the back.

I don't fancy kipping in my sons C1.

@paulplom.. 'Dare to be Bare'!

A$ is not about 'just the car..'... but you and you taking part 🛠️👍

Well.... I really need two blokes to shift it about 😮..

[loserone]

Sure that can be arranged.  @paulplom could probably carry it on his scooter.

If my daughter will cat sit, me and the misses can come Friday to Sunday. Do we need to bring a twix each? Or are the two fingers enough for both?

Sorry, not been before so not sure how shite it'll be

[loserone]

We usually manage to bring along enough off brand twixes between us.

i went to book the weeekend off work and discovered i had already booked it off  - it’s the same weekend as the Durham Miners Gala, which i promised i’d take my mam to see. 

so i’m a maybe for camping on saturday night but will definitely join in the drive out on sunday 

 

[catsinthewelder]

I really want to come, don't know if I can but I'll try.

[EightMegs]

I'd love to come but I'm not sure if I want to take the Carina on a long journey straight after an engine swap and major suspension work.

[loserone]

When else would you test it?

Anyone coming to this from Brum or similar?

Take you mam to this.  Does she like camping ? 

Serious idea and serious question.  My 87 year old mother is going camping in August with my sister.

Ryton-on-Dunsmore near Cov, or the other Ryton near Newcastle?

[loserone]

The former!

i suspect the prospect of staying up late drinking beer and talking bollocks about cars might put her off  

[paulplom]

Is there toilet and shower facilities on site?

[loserone]

It's right next to the River Tyne, and it's right next to the River Tyne.
