UPDATED MONDAY 7TH -11PM

QUIZ 1 IS NOW ONLINE - SCROLL DOWN TO SEE IT, COMPLETE & HAND IN ON ARRIVAL
Route planning is well underway - I have just spent another weekend up there - It has been quite difficult this year as firstly there were the floods which have closed quite a few bridges and the winter weather has badly damaged some roads. However I have managed to come up with another awesome new Sunday route that includes the amazing road that many of you missed on last years treasure hunt, a water splash & your favourite mountain passes.
I have been back again & revised the route again. I have got some petrol stations around the half way point. A good item to carry is a petrol can in case you get caught short.
Remember Saturday night last year when we released some chinese lanterns? - it looked great & Mondays national papers carried reports of UFO's over Pooley Bridge www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1193126/Campers-treated-night-time-display-sky-UFO-lights-them.html  - So imagine if everyone brought some & we had a mass launch on Saturday night? ;)

We are planning to show the match via a projector in the marquee, if all else fails it will be on in the clubhouse

The camping fees are here: www.parkfootullswater.co.uk/tariffs.html  there is also a booking form which you can print off & use when checking in

PLEASE DO NOT COME WITHOUT AN ENTRY - ALSO WE ARE AWARE THAT LAST YEAR SOME PEOPLE CAME WITHOUT BOOKING/PAYING & JUST FOLLOWED THEIR MATES AS THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE NOTES. WE WILL BE CHECKING PASSES MORE THIS YEAR - BUT IF THIS EVENT FAILS THROUGH ME NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD TO SUPPORT IT ANY MORE - THEN ITS THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE TO BLAME
