Be great if you can, whatever days

My lad is 7 and my friends camping with me have a 2 and 6 year old

and there maybe others too. Would teenage daughters be tempted by camp fires or walks to waterfalls ?? or would that just put them off
Let me know if you book

we could go on a lego hunt

Walks to waterfalls is one idea of a bribe as the eldest who is 16 is doing a World Challenge in summer and has to raise money to go, so may sponser her to camp.. lol. The 14 year old ...not sure yet, maybe some extra pocket money helping out with the younger ones
It's quite sad really, they used to love all that when they were younger.
Will let you know for sure when we've worked out logistics

cool

ah it's a no go for us
Can't get time off work

Universities don't have halfterm breaks like schools do so I knew it'd be difficult.
I will definitely be booking for the meet in April though!

It's a pain not having the half term break. We luckily enough seem to have a reading week this term which is a bonus!

Although, I'm still on a mission of trying to persuade my teenage girls to go ....

Yeah it can be a bit of a pain. We never have reading weeks, the students would like it if we did I'm sure!!

It's a long story, a tall story even, best told after copious amounts of beer, but Debbie should elaborate

Hi Debbie, looks like we'll be coming for 2 nights (Friday & Saturday) not sure about the 17 year old, but definitely my 14 year old girl, and the 2 boys and little un

Haven't had time to book it yet, but will get onto it tonight sometime.
We plan on going to see the waterfall on the Saturday as we'll be packing up on the Sunday for the drive home. It's my partners b'day on the Sunday, so we'll be making cup cakes to bring with us

Hope he doesn't look on here from now till then
