Hi Chaps,

as per the old thread, looking for a meet-up in September first two weekends so state your preference, majority wins!

As to what we do, up for grabs. Pubs, Camping, local sights, canals, Viaducts, cycling, go-karting, air rifle/pistol shooting, barbecues etc etc. Oh, AND TORCHES!

Based North of London around Newport Pagnell/ Milton Keynes area TBA.

Please post in this thread.


See you all in September.

Hoping to join the party, if all the random factors align.

Edit: This was also meant to include that the first weekend is probably the only one I might be able to do.

Second weekend is better for me. My son starts big school the first week! If it's just the evening, first weekend is fine.

Great to see so many replies (!).

Just to throw a spanner in the works, how about meeting up and staying here?

https://www.hihostels.com/hostels/y...GbqFda6miFcPV-XCDJOUxoCqSMQAvD_BwE#facilities

Old stately home - huge grounds - private rooms with ensuite - very cheap - NO LIGHT POLLUTION!!!!

How about it?

About £50 each based on full 6x person room for Fri & Sat nights - only 3 rooms left 31-1st Sept.

I'm OK for anywhere ... North or South.
Still like to do a Portmeirion Snowdon railway type thing sometime too ...
More expensive though
