Ribblehead

[kimbowbill]

I knew I shouldn't trust a Yorkshire lass from't wrong side o't pennines

I didn't hear any complaints when the box of chocs was produced... lol, hope you enjoyed them.

Many thanks, much appreciated, especially the late night brew before the drive back. Looking forward to RH, but after having met Henry, I'm not sure that Rigg the pig is...
:scared:

Choccies are lovely thank you, your welcome anytime Jess, Henrys a pig, xx

I hope Henry hasn't snaffled the chocs - he's lovely, just a great big soft teenage delinquent :angel:

I reckon him and Rigg will be ok - Rigg is quite happy to save his own skin by letting a dog the size of a horse be the boss. We need to find a remote spot at Ribblehead where you can let Henry off for them to have a run round together, I suspect they will end up friends once they've sorted out the pack hierarchy thing. I'm sure we can find somewhere away from the road, other dogs etc where they can have a run together.

Don't worry, Rigg has got Pet Insurance, although not sure it covers being eaten by a large dog :raofl:

Rigg might write a short blog post later about meeting Henry last night, if he's not too tired ;-) He's been in the van most of the weekend and yet he has been crashed out in his bed since we got home.

Is there anywhere for cassette emptying at the station inn ?

Thanks Rob

Doubt it very much Rob, it is necessary to walk through the pub to get to both the ladies and gents toilets. However, you could ring Jo the landlady and ask, never know your luck. Telephone number in post one.

Hi Jess

I was hoping for a remote spot anyway, Henry gets stressed when dogs are running around the van, i'm sure they will be fine but i think i will muzzle him, i would be mortified if he hurt Rigg, or any other for that matter, because i know rigg wont bite henry it will be a good opportunity for henry to run around and i know he wont get attacked, if this makes sense, rigg will be fine with Lotty's dog, little Ed, he's soooooooo gorgeous, henry will just have to learn the hard way xx

If you put £100 behind the bar for us all to buy the drinks with, then you can be with us in spirit. I will even take loads of pictures or you, so you can 'almost' be with us!!

I would empty your cassette and fill up with water before you get there if possible. They are going to very busy with other stuff over the holidays. I know they are pretty accommodating towards the wild campers but if you start burdening them with things like that, their attitude could change. Just my personal take on it

We are spending the weekend at the Station Inn (car park) Ribblehead. Cosy in the van, but bitter cold outside.
Thought I would post a little info for those spending New Year up here.
The pub will be very busy New Year's Eve, they have 25 residents in the hotel and 30 in the bunk house. Jo, the landlady said if you want food book early, tel: 01524 241274.
I told her about the Wild Camp meet, she said she would get extra bread and milk in and would offer a warm welcome.
There is no mobile telephone connection.
There is no tv signal, satelite only.
They do have wifi in the pub and pub car park.

To all at Wild Camping have a great Xmas and New Year.
All the best
Dave and Kath.

Would love to join ya Dave & Kath but going to the quiet site at ullswater on the 27th (Having a chiller this year).Anyhow have a good un everyone,see you in the new year Dave........................Jeff & Lorraine

im looking forward to it, but Kaye is so scared, never been camping etc and esp in winter shes worried (and middle of the yorkshire moors)

can people write a few comments on here, what to expect etc so she feels more at ease. i told her we will be in the pub, cosy at night in the sleeping bags. etc etc i think shes just worried.

thanks to John for popping tomorrow to pick up the portaloo for me and bringing it to Ribblehead. i just need to get the right chemicals etc for it lol

as said, Kaye is working on the Fri till 6, so will set straight off, so should be there by 10 at the very latest.

looking forward to seeing everyone again, and new people (but more important new doggies!!)

You need to sit down with her one evening soon, cosy in front of the fire, open a good botle of wine and watch the film 'American Werewolf in London' it paints an accurate picture of what to expect late at night on the Yorkshire moors.
Keep to the path lads, keep to the path!

well i presumed most people would seperatly, some in vans, some in the pub etc, then as the autumn meet, organised and weather picked by that fantastic person cool jules got together at the end of the night, so maybe same sort of thing this year, around a fire etc.

dont forget people eat at different times, last time i couldnt afford the pub for drinks or grub, and some others just didnt want too, but then happily joined in at night.

Im going to phone tomorrow and book a table for 2, as a treat for a our lass.
