PLEASE SEE LATEST INFO POSTED IN RED ON THE FIRST POST ON THIS THREAD - LET ME KNOW IF THE ATTENDANCE LIST IS NOT RIGHT - IF YOU NEED A LIFT, AND IS ANYONE INTERESTED IN CAMPING OVER ON THE FRIDAY NIGHT??

anyone else camping??doesent sound like a bad idea as long as there is a cafe local that does a good breaky

Camping Sounds like a good idea, i have a list of local campsites....

Anyone else???

Bought a book on 'Caves of Derbyshire' at HiddenE, fancy having a poke about in the afternoon????

i souldve asked before,but how wet is the trip???will i have to wear my really rather bright and new warmbacB)

I am now a definite no for this trip

Work and family commitments, oh well next time.

I can't camp as I'm working until 8 on friday so I'll travel down in the morning

no can do guys, i tried but cant change work rota. Sorry

it slighty moist. the worst part is the crawl. its not tight at all but its just too low for hands and knees meaning shirty damp mud on your belly. the last bit through to the shiw cave is waist deep but fron the time you get wet its fairly rapid to the exit. I wore a thin furry and my warmback,a few weeks back ans was fine. should be nice and dry in sat due ro recent dry spell.

corin. got the new peak district guide book whixh i'll also bring with me.

if we're camping i'd suggest somewhere thats either close to a pub or failing that somewhere that allows an open fire to have sone beers around. i've got a steel bbq/firepit on legs that I could strap to the roof of the landy...? anyone care to suggest suitable site?

OK I'm definietly in!!
Not to sure about camping though will let you all know later.

note to self! - "when typing into the forum on my mobile after drinking a bottle of red wine always read through the post for typos before pressing submit!"

note to self: ALWAYS HAVE A BOTTLE OF RED WINE before reading Tims posts, helps to decipher!!

Camping sites. Well I camped up there last weekend, there are 2 sites in Castleton, one Caravan & Camp club members only and a horrid pokey one by the road.

We ended up at Flagg www.knotlowfarm.co.uk. There is an area up the slope on the left as you go in which would suit a small group and allows braziers. £7 pppn. Planes for Manchester airport do pass overhead but the stars were excellent. It is 45 mins to Castleton and on the wrong side if you are coming from N Wales

However a camp site near a pub is near a busy road .

There are sites nearer Buxton, but no quality indicators. A starting point.........

I do have the Camp/Caravan guide for the Peak district.

If anybody.needs a lift from me or tim please state on the forum or be at the glan y afon sat morning at 7 am sharp...names on the forum please........

likewise - or, depending on numbers from the glan, jump in with me if u want boydy.

wait bloody ages - probably just leave it going over night

then do it again another 3/4 times, it should get faster and faster each time.

I'll meet you at the car park as I need to do a flyer depending on time after we get out (If thats OK by everyone)

I'm not gonna camp any more - for various reasons. Travelling from North Wales sunday morning - be at the Glan at 7am if you want to jump in for a lift.

Failing that we need to meet at 9:30 at the TSG old chapel - GREEN DOORS HERE:
maps.google.co.uk/?ll=53.343356,-1.77526...p=12,321.41,,0,15.54

Park where you can in the village and then make your way in your clean kit to the chapel (link above) hammer on the green door and say you're with me from UCET - hopefully i'll already be there. Bring all your caving kit with you as we can get geared up in the chapel and then i'll run us all up to the top of titan in our dirty gear in the landy - saves getting changed on the mountain and means we walk straight back to the chapel when we come out to get hot showers and clean gear

just spoke to crazy , he's coming as well. god help us

tim,if you remember,can you could you bring a windproof ucet jacket.size medeium.
only 2 more sleeps:woohoo:
