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:
...and some strange goings on...!Edited by glenrobbo on Monday 23 February 08:24
It is rumoured that one of those dates back well over 6,000 years.
We have no idea about the stones though.
( But Mick Jagger is looking as old as Keith these days. )
Ah, now you have frightened the poor girl. We have a dark and twisty drive from the safety of the 'S'ircle to our hovel for the night (apologies Woodside B&B) and it carries us perilously close to the Nine Ladies (which can be a spooky enough place in daylight). I also told her we were meeting at the old druids place....she did look at me a bit strangely. Mind you, who can blame her?
I doubt if she will notice the late night drive to Stanton. She is able to pronounce Guinness in at least 3 languages, and is likely to be muttering to herself about the merits of Guinness v Oyster Stout while I concentrate on missing the ghosts and druids.
I doubt if they will have Hobgoblin for me.....now perhaps that might not be the most suitable choice on this occasion?

Well, after coming perilously close to postponement or even cancellation due to ouside beaurocratic interference by non-elected pseudo-governmental agencies, it's looking like our social weekend of innocent enjoyment of our beautiful scenic Peak District National Park can go ahead after all.
Many thanks are due to Alison at the TVRCC Office who has toiled relentlessly and jumped through many hoops on our behalf in order to obtain a "Camping & Caravanning Exemption Certificate" from a www.gov.uk sub-department called "Natural England" which will permit us once again camp it up at Barn Farm. I am hoping for confirmation today.
I just hope it's not too lastminute.com for you all to come along, but our first year at Barn Farm was arranged at very short notice after the Sheffield SCH was cancelled.
We need to fill the six pitches I have reserved, and I need to know VERY SOON who will be coming and whether you will be camping two nights or just one. Please put your names below ASAP so I can assess the viability of the camping side of the operation.
As soon as I get the confirmation and enough committed peeps, I shall post on the TVRCC S Series forum because it will henceforth be a TVRCC backed event, so I would like you to register your interest on that forum as well please when I post the topic.
All I need now is a tent ( my backup is ready ) and to put Austin back together again.
Cheers

I will be coming, on my own I think, and camping Saturday night and probably Friday night as well.
I will not however be touching the car for at least 24 hours beforehand, dont want to tempt fate again.
Richard, I thought you were booked into a nice place in Stanton Lees?I will not however be touching the car for at least 24 hours beforehand, dont want to tempt fate again.
I hope you didn't cancel it because of the lack of news of the event.

Dont worry Glen, I have cancelled the B&B because I will be on my own, which means I can 'enjoy' camping!!! If I can still find my tent etc!!
I solved this problem by stringing a load of twinkly blue solar led lights around my canvas home from home.Much easier to spot when I amble back from the pub in the dark
Just remember to avoid any twinkly blue lights that are travelling rapidly and making "Nee - nar! Nee - nar!" noises.
Although they may still provide you with somewhere to sleep for the night......
1. Glenrobbo. Camping Fri & Sat
2. Greymrj. Camping Fri? Sat
3. Magpies. Camping Fri & Sat regardless of the heat.;)
4. Alan461. Camping Fri & Sat
5. Andy Lynch poss camping Sat?
6.
Room for 1 or possibly 2 more tents, unless the exemption certificate comes through, that would allow more spaces....... At the moment I'm still waiting for it
AutoAndy, are you coming again this time?
