I wonder if there's a record for the worlds biggest Pot Noodle . . . .?
Bring your cauldron!
This idea is growing on me - We could re-name this the Big Noodle Bash.

I'm hoping I can let the lads out of school so we can get over on Friday evening. However it will be tight timing in terms of darkness and setting up, esp. if the weather is cr*p. Is there likely to be anywhere we could shelter and heat up some food (are NW bringing the marquee for example?) as if so we could simply doss down in the Bongo and save putting up the awning until daylight if it is dark and wet when we arrive.
It's gonna be fun

we should be there maybe about 6ish,depending what time we set off,emma finishes school at 1,oclock,home and have lunch,mike already off work that day so he should have majority of things packed up for us,so it will be get in and go,it will take us around 3half hours to get there,so should be ready for off at 2.30.

There will be a jacobs join in the Marquee from about 7.00pm on Friday evening.
Please bring your contributions...sweet, savoury or liquid.
A stove will be set up for peeps to make brews/stews/pot noodles.
If you overtake a dark blue KangooRoo with an overloaded roofrack on the way to the meet don't expect to find the marquee in place when you arrive.
cheers

Brilliant Harry. That gives us some very useful insurance against late arrival, weather etc. I'll make sure we have our own grub - just need something to heat it up on if things are against us.
You're a star

I thought i'd do a spot of planning...I'll fetch the scissors so the soy sauce sachets (try saying that with a gobfull of noodly goodness) can be opened up for our favourite hot noodley snacks.
Is it any golden wonder we are mad about em?

Sounds odd doncha think Muz? First time he was rescued peeps thought it was pile of rubbish with a dusting of snow, lying just outside the new cafe by the summit. Sounds like we may have a hill climbing tramp on our hands ("rescuers were only able to pinpoint his position due to his outstretched arm and snow filled begging cap, which protruded from the snow").
