you need a few tent ercetors

Funny thing though out of the seven or eight sites i rang only two were willing to allow 4x4 laners on there site, as soon as i said a group of landrover drivers crossing the peaks most of them said no

have you thought of trying to hire a village hall for the evening. Lots of walking groups do it.

good idea will try that otherwise it will have to be wild camping

I dont mind wild camping anyway i think its better really, and while were on the subject of camping Decathlon have a sale on at the moment pop up tents £19.99. dont look to bad either

Decathlon - CAMPING-TREK,OUTDOOR PRODUCTS tents QUECHUA - 2 SECONDS I dark green QUECHUA - 1 person looking for a HIKING TENT that can be pitched instantly and is small in size for transportation.

or if youve got some local farms marked on the map then give the farmer a bell

They do a 2man version for an extra tenner.

Think i'll just kip in disco. on a single airbed.

Pikey you can get a 2 man dome tent from asda for under a tenner at the mo. think they are double skinned so as long as it doesnt **** down it should hold up ok. Have used a tesco tent a few times before (£4 in the sale ) held up ok and didnt leak through constant showers.

MG if you can put me down as confirmed for camping on the sat night mate. Not sure about friday still not had confirmation of gate closers shifts yet so will more than likely meet you all on sat am.

i know i'm not pitching my tent next to his again

i agree, whilst i was over at ladybower i did notice that if you did want to you could pitch up right on the banks of the dam, away from the main area.
