lol my mate has both of those! He is 29 but acts like hes 10! We took it on the beach last year and they went about 1/3 of a mile with 2 people on it. Much fun and cos they go so far if you soak anyone you have plenty of time to run!

[AW11 Forever..!]

At least we will have plenty of 1st Aid kits to go round, those ''toys'' look like they could do some damage in the wrong hands, like, eh Jinxy, McTurf, etc!

I'll be bringing my GIANT lawn darts so look out, is anyone else bringing boys toys??

[S A Watt]

Not us Michael

We'll be on our best behaviour

Wonder if you get these in le clerks

Mcturf

[markiii]

right then boys another daft question

what do you do about cold beer?

As a decent coolbox isn;t going to fit?

[AW11 Forever..!]

Thats a very good question, bit of a tricky one this. What we normally do is buy a bucket, plastic bin, washing bowl, etc and simply keep changing the water in it, theres a tap right where we will be camping. What I'm going to do this year is buy bags of ice from the supermarket and pur that into the water bowl.

Cheers, kerching!

[markiii]

thats what I figured any etiquette?

for example at JAE we all just split teh beer costs and put it all in one big bucket, since we are camping comune may make sense here?

I have an inflateable beer barrel somewhere which would be ideal for this?

bigger water mass tends to keep things cooler

[Tony jinxy froude]

Of course Mc Turf & me will be on our best behaviour Michael..................NOT
PARRRRRRTTTTYYYYYY
Ive got a large cool bag which will be full of ice cubes from LeClerk & gonna stick things like mIlk, butter etc in, so i think we are going to need something sustantial to put all my cider in inflateable beer barrel sounds good to me , Jinxy

[S A Watt]

Sounds like a good idea for the bear and Cider. It is nice if we can keep it cold.We can stick the Ice bags in the freezers at the camp site and just keep topping them up as we go

Just seen the first of the leman stickers tonight and they look well . Should get them all by tomorrow night. so thats that done. Will hand them out on the way.

Not long now till we head off.

[markiii]

the camp site has freezers?

[S A Watt]

Yes

If i remember right there is 2 small freezers up beslide the showers.

No big enough for the Beer etc but maybe some ice

[markiii]

better all teh time

[Tony jinxy froude]
