Spoak to Joan Today and she says the lads are due to arrive at 2 p.m.,I shall still be hard.......... well at work then so if you can get there by then to clap them home then great.
I won't be arriving til 6.45 so by then the B-B-Q will be well under way.
So if you are coming then bring something to throw on the Bar B.
Joan is taking orders for the Glossop Chronicle that has a 1/3 rd page feature on the chaps , so if you want one,ring her at the site.
See you all Tuesday.

Amazing to think that Eric, Barry and Shiva crossed this same footbridge over 3 months ago on the outbound journey

Hi,
can't support these guys in person (too far away) but is there a link to someplace we can make a donation?
Bonne courage and God speed and may the ale bring strength to their legs... Good guys and the dog too.
wish we could be there.
Dave

I have to say what a marvellous do to all involved, it was my first attendance at a wildcamping meet and was made to feel really welcome by all. A privilige to meet Eric and Barry (and Shiva) after their excellent achievement, and not forgetting the staff at Hayfield who put on a marvellous do, and did an awful lot of work....Thankyou all....Bob

Welcome Home
Well thats the end of a Magnificent achievement by Barry ,Eric and Shiva as they returned to Hayfield yesterday but not without incident.
Apparently they got split up in the thick fog somehow and Shiva must have been trying to locate each of them when she became lost.
I think each thought that Shiva was with the other so they pushed on, arriving separately with no Shiva.
Whilst we were busy trying to sort out a search party we got the news that Shiva had latched on to a group of youths doing the same walk and they looked after her till they rejoined there leader who handed her into a local vets, and she was picked up by the park rangers on our site..
So after all the celebration and photo sessions were over we settled down to a great evening BBQ ,excellently set up by Kevin and Joan as usual, with assistance from Fran and Steve (Assistant site managers).
I reckon there was about 15 of us wildcampers attended the do also Barry,s wife,Marion and a few other site residents and a great evening was had by all.
Well done the lads and well done to the Hayfield Team
Eric arrives alone ,cold wet and exhausted..
Then joined by Barry, and a light snack..
And the youngsters who helped Shiva..
