Its June, a small black and white dog and
two disorganized organizers with a penchant for camping have
finally pulled their fingers out, it can only mean one
thing....
Yup, Carry On Camping 2009 is about to
explode once again for its 5th year in a row!
This year we will be mostly camping in the beautiful setting of
West Ayton near Scarborough. Now we know this isn’t Whitby as
previously declared, but it’s as close as we could get so hopefully
Alma will be relieved to hear this after his 7 hours slog to
Dartmoor (during our 2007 event).
So pitch up your tent, slam down your sleeping bag and arm
yourself to the teeth with government worrying "Weapons of Cache
Deduction" for a weekend of camping, relaxing, socialising and, at
a lesser extent to some, GEOCACHING!.
Our base for the weekend is
High Yedmandale
Farm which looks like a fantastically laid back place with
plenty of space for everyone to chill and generally kick back.
The campsite has advised that although this is a dog friendly
site, you must advise the campsite if you want to bring more than
one dog. Only quiet, well behaved, non-aggressive dogs will be
permitted to stay on site. Your dog must remain on its leash at all
times. If you have a dog that barks continuously the campsite has
asked politely that you don’t bring them.
This is a campsite that prides itself on its tranquil settings,
therefore (for once!) we shall all have to be on our best behaviour
and not be such a loud and rowdy bunch (we can go elsewhere to do
this!! Maybe a beach party or expedition to the local Go Ape??).
For non-camping cachers we shall organise a get together at the
nearby pub (Ye Olde Forge Valley Inn) on the Sunday afternoon. More
details to follow shortly!
To book your space please telephone the very lovely Ken
on 01723 862188 and say that you want to book a pitch as
part of the "JOANNE" group (then we should all be
put close together).
I think that’s everything for the time being,
except to remind everyone to:
"START PRAYING FOR SUNSHINE FOLKS!!!"
