Ribblehead

[Firefox]

put eddie and debbie on the list.we will be there on 28/29th but mite not stay till new year.just seems like the whole thing is a bit dis-jointed[we asked a while ago about anyone going to the pub,but no replies.even now looks like basildog and firefox av booked seperatly][no tv,no mobile fone,only get net at the pub,][nobody seems to be organised 4 new years eve,can see a lot of people sat looking at there other halves all nite.not really the new year most people expected]dont mean to piss anyone off but its the way it looks at the mo-billi

That's the way it is with these wild camping meet things. We tend to be free-er kind of spirit people. I know I have seen some forum camping meets organised, and it is all down to hourly activities, synchronised watches, like an army operation :lol-053:

But anyone welcome to join us at 8.00pm for a meal in the Pub restaurant and no doubt a few drinks and Fireworks afterwards too! (If you want a meal in the pub new years eve, it is advisable to ring pub and book)

I called callled the pub to book a table for 2, they have had to stop taking bookings, BUT the owner said dont worry, they will be enough for everyone just could be a bit later and hectic, as they are totally full in the hotel and bunks.....but said all us WC's are very welcome and not forgotton about.

she asked me when i was coming, and i said 30th as our lass has to work on that Fri so be setting off then. she knows someone is going up on the 28th.

how about, say tue or wed, once we have confirmed amount of people/vans etc that will be using the pub, we give them a quick call, and tell them the amount of us there will be, just to give her a rough idea what to expect. guess its only polite.

could someone save a place in the car park for me, i wont be able to walk too well (even when sober lol)

i think even kaye is looking forward to it, as she can tell how exited i am!!

We are hoping to go but am confused as to where the meet is?
I thought the plan was to camp across the road from the pub in former quarry and have a big fire?

regards Rob

 

[DTDog]

You are correct. The plan is to set up camp at the quarry bit.

how fars that from the boozer?

About 5 mins walk. Check out the link to Google maps I gave in the other thread, it shows the quarry and the pub or check out your POI's on Google earth/maps. It shows everything

i looked at that link some time ago` no idea where to find it now but i couldnt quite tell the terrian etc and it depends how i am at the time, at the moment ok but next weekend i couldnt be bad. just cant tell in advance.

i thought people were using the car park mainly. i dont mind either, a open fire sounds good, can bring firewood etc. and if we get low on wood to burn we can always use DT dogs van :wacko:

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.

It's probably nothing to worry about, but Ribblehead quarry has long been linked with the unexplained disappearance of several young women in recent years. The favoured theory is that once their trust had been gained, they were coerced into taking part in some kind of "wild camping trip" in this remote and scarcely visited spot (unbelievable huh??). Meeting up with other "kindred spirits" at the location, everything appeared to be genuine and the ladies' minds were put at ease. Strangely, one campervan had always left the site by dawn on the following morning and its' young lady occupant was never heard of again....

As I said, there's probably nothing to worry about. After all, no new cases have been reported for about a year now (hmm....exactly a year to this week in fact!). And anyway, the police only had one real suspect and he wasn't released from questioning until October, so he couldn't have had time to find his latest victim and gain her trust by now, surely?

By the way, you may hear the locals telling their tales of strange events or mysterious visitors in the area (especially around "last orders"), but take no notice, hardly any of their stories are true! As a precaution though, I would always advise keeping the campfire burning very brightly throughout the dark hours.

Hope this helps. Have a great time!!

 

[kimbowbill]

Do not worry we have packed the meccano for the boys and the cock fighting game for the girls !!!!!! Plus the odd helicopter and even some dart guns ! Plenty of fun for the adults just hope no kids coming as looks like they be left out ???? Lol
