Provisional Dates for S Club Barn Farm Camping
Discussion
Hello Campers!
This year's Barn Farm camping and scenic run is provisionally scheduled for the last weekend of June, when it will be swelteringly hot and we'll all be baking in our tents at night, so it's important that we all bring plenty of refreshment for after the pubs have closed.
So please mark your diaries, calendars, electronic notepads, iPads, knotted bits of string or stick a post-it note on the fridge as a reminder:
Arrive Fri 26th June 2015
Scenic run commencing 10:45am Sat 27th Jun
Wind down/ sober up/ pack up/explore area/go home: Sun 28th Jun
I am planning a new route this year, and the dates are provisional subject to local carnivals, fetes & well-dressing and/or pagan witchcraft ceremonies.
And big scout jamborees, obviously.
So pencil those dates into your devices in case some other b
er pinches them for some other worthless event, and I shall update with definite certainty as soon as I am able.
I can hear those peacocks already
Full details to follow.....

Flat(ish) roads mainly centred around the White Peak & Derbyshire Dales.a
Nice vistas, some rolling hills, a few craggy bits, some twisties a few nice straights ( all with a 50mph speed limit of course
) and a nice place for a tasty nosh.
Set your tyre pressures, adjust your ride heights, check your geos, fill your tanks and watch this space.
My playground is driving Nirvana
As I explained to AutoAndy last year, it's just like Norfolk, but in 3-D 
Or we might all get lost again
But hopefully no spinners this year on NangKang Ditchfinders

Where Glen? Northern Territories I assume?
No Pete, we don't do upside down. And we don't drink Fosters on this gig.
It's Nine Ladies or 'ESS'ington Ale at the Red Lion, Birchover, or whatever they have on as guest ales in the Druid Inn. Until they run out.
Or white wine.
The formula seems to work well, eh guys 'n' gals?
The famous bike racing circuit of Darley Dale is just down the road.
And they've got alpacas*
- I suppose you could call them Darley Llamas

...penciled in Glen...although it did leave a nasty scratch on my ipad...
Went last year and is is great scenery...two very good pubs...and good driving, obviously bearing in mind the exhaust mashing bumps in a couple of places and the nicely oiled road in places...
As it is June in the Peeks, shall I bring my thermal long johns and extra insulated sleeping bag again!!!!
Some pics of the mystic druid, the mystic car park and the mystic breakfast...and tour in the blazing sunshine

Steve! Andy! Any news yet? I am very much hoping that this will be third time lucky and nothing goes wrong at the last minute.
SWMBO has however put her foot down (dainty it may, be but forceful it certainly is) on camping!
We will be with you from Friday night except for the darkest bits when we will be scurrying off to hide in a B&B at Stanton Lees (c 1mile). While we are in our comfy bed with en suite (the room, not the bed, I am not incontinent yet)I will be yearning to be with you camping (yeh, right!!!)
Do we need to let the druids know what beer we want so they can brew it ready?
At least when we go scurrying off into the darkest recesses of Derbyshire we will do it a bit more quietly than we used to, repacking the exhaust means we can now even talk in the car!

It'll be nice if you & Deborah can make it Richard, even if you decide to rough it in one of the local druid hovels at night.
I hope that you understand what can happen to you both, and that you are prepared to be involved in some strange local druid pagan rituals.
Most Barn Farm Camping initiates prefer our friendly ceremonial rubber gauntlets and sink plunger to whatever unspeakable things go on behind those tightly shuttered cottage windows.
You may not be incontinent yet, but I cannot guarantee you will remain in that happy condition.
Andy & Alan can both confirm, we've seen some evidence of strange druid rites hanging from the trees down at the ancient stone circle :shudder:
At least we will all be sleeping safe and soundly in the knowledge that the peacocks will protect us in our comfy tents, warding off the attentions of the pagans.
I think the druids will have prepared sufficient potions for our weekend of merriment, but to be sure, please can you tell us what is Deborah's favourite tipple? And can she pronounce that difficult word, 'Guinness'?
Finally, please don't mention exhausts and packing, it is still rather a sore point with me
