If anyone actually reads this, I'm planning this again for one of the "hot summer months". One evening with a BBQ afterwards as the sun goes down. I have loads of days out floating around in my mind and this is the latest so thought I'd post it here so when I forget someone else can remind me :lol:

Location will depend on interest nearer the time :)

Wendover seems to be the better all-rounder. There are courses slightly longer and shorter than theirs and some are higher and lower in the trees but the others don't do barbeques and stuff :(

It's ages away yet anyway. If we get a different attendance then we could switch it to another course. The one we went to was almost in the middle for everyone who came. Was just the northern folks that had the slightly longer journeys. We'll see come the summer :)

Durdle Door in Lulworth would be an amazing place to camp. Nearest Go Ape to there is Moors Valley Country Park near Bournemouth. Might interest you Chris because that one is 315 meters longer than Wendover :o Just looking on Google Earth and there's a camp site right next door to that place anyway, but Lulworth is beautiful lol.

Only problem with that though would be it's miles away from the Kent and Northern crews :(

Suits me fine, I'm only 20 miles up the road from there :lol: :lol:

I'm easy wherever we go, but camping is a must I reckon :wink:
