Off Camping
Posted: Thu Jul 09, 2009 10:37 pm
Right, I'm off camping in Harlow, Essex, tomorrow.
It'll piss down all w/e, but working on my own personal theory that in order not to get too wet it's important to equalise the fluid levels inside and outside (the General Theory of Osmotic Pressure) I shall be imbibing until the world turns sideways and dark.
It's not normal camping anyway, we take a marquee, full mobile disco, oildrum BBQ, and I have a 12 berth tent.
Oh, and there's a barn, with power, we take a beer fridge and lots of toys.
This year we're having a clay pigeon shoot, which as we'll all be very, very, we expect to be shown up by the kids.
There's a fancy dress night on Sat night; this year it's a Pirate theme, so I'm going as an Airline Pirate.
It's the same as an airline pilot. but with an eye patch, parrot and earring.
Last years (in July) had a Christmas theme, and I cooked Xmas dinner for twenty odd on a BBQ.
Fully loaded including roast pots, roast parsnips, turkey and all the trimmings, including Yorkshire Puds.
To be fair, I boiled some veg on a Calor gas ring, so it wasn't all done on the barbie, but everything else was.
Chemical Toilets!!!!!
There's got to be a negative somewhere.
I need a van, or a huge trailer.
But I expect that we'll get it all crammed in a few cars again. And I'll be taking the bike, so as to leave more room in the car.
But before that I've got to get the ZZR MOT'd, as it's sold.
