Any plans for Easter?- Now NW Mini meet at Hardraw, Yorks

Harry · Post by **Harry** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 12:57 am

Easter is only 4 weekends away and my intention is either to cower with the doors locked at home or get the hell away from the Lakes for the weekend.

I loath all the ruddy grockles who arrive at Easter weekend...especially all those campervan drivers in their funny little Japanese imports and their screaming kids & yappy dogs.

So any suggestins for a quiet mini meet somewhere up north for us antisocial old gits.

Good choice Dandy - I envy you. For my money the real social outcasts are in Westminster.....only they don't know it yet

Well I'm off to wildcamp on a private estate belonging to friends in a remote dale near Hawes in Wensleydale, Yorkshire.

Lots of cheese grommit

Actually going to spend the weekend photographing wildlife (mainly red squirrels) in between wandering the 3 miles to the nearest pub and back.

So if anyone will be in the Hawes area...let me know and we can meet up for a brew/pint.
