I'm in please

[Vicki]

Blimey! There's hundreds of us going. Are we going to need to book more spaces?

[Pierce]

Hi There,
if there is any additional spaces going could Fran, little Pierce and I be marked down. We have a barbecue pit we can bring along too!

Hi all

I have emailed the campsite today to ask for 5 more pitches. just waiting to hear back.

Until then there's an extras list.

If we can't get more pitches then it may be a case of seeing whether others can squish up and share tents!

We now have 5 extra pitches so 20 in total. Hopefully they are going to try and reserve an area for us also

Hello!

This is Khyati. I'm new to the Mercians and I've met a few of you already at Creation. I would love to come along to the Swanage meet and get to know you all better! I wondered if anybody still has a space in their car and wouldn't mind offering me a lift?

Thank you!

[joel]

There is always spaces

[kxp721]

[Tom]

Soooooo, any wet weather activities round Swanage then? Dinosaur museum in Dorchester, Sea Life Centre in Weymouth (and snowdome, ahem)

[Louise]

Mmmmm ..... Indeed. Sunday and Monday don't look too bad but Saturday looks shocking!

[Beth]

some forecasts say Sunday's a shocker too

How about Dorset Knob Throwing Festival!? http://www.visit-dorset.com/whats-on/do ... 15-p798873

Als I might go horse riding on the beach one day; yes it'll be a bit wet but you can still ride a horse in the rain!

[Pierce]

I've just made a whole load of Coleslaw for the barbecue so if anyone fancies some please feel free.

But having now looked at the weather forecast I am starting to wonder if a BQ will be possible.

The weather is changing all the time so hopefully it will be a good prediction for when we are down there.

Just a reminder that anyone planning to abseil in to do some of the climbs will need to ensure they have a belay plate and prussik. (It might be worth checking on UKC for what you are planning to do to see if you'll need a prussik or not.)

Stewart has checked the times and they are in our favour. Low tide is at about 1.30 in the afternoon on Friday so it should be good for getting done what we want.
