    Sounds a bit like Ashover minus the tractors, stationary engines, traction engines, lorries, classic cars and all manner of what else...

    I looked for pictures on the internet, and I couldn't find a single lantern so it looks like Ashover minus the tractors, stationary engines, traction engines, lorries, classic cars, Tilley lamps and all manner of what else... Which I guess just leaves the fairy lights. :lol:

    200 miles for me, bit too far if I'm the only one with proper lamps. Plus I don't have a passport so I'm not sure I can even cross the Welsh boarder. :-k :lol: Well, I have ventured over, but soon rushed back again, for good reason you understand. ;)

    These - surely you've been to hundreds!

    Anyway, no dice, Matt - if you read CCS you'll know it seems I'm already spoken for (or had I just been rebuffed, I can't remember...)

    It grieves me to continue that joke Ray but I must ask, who will be supplying the music? Not the Rod Stewart, Lionel Richie and Blonde tribute acts like last year I hope. :lol: :lol:

    Let's leave it there, even I can't stand to think what that would look like. :-& :-&

    The club who organise that would probably have a health & safety fit if any of us joined up & attended. Lanterns around a camp-fire? Surely not! [-X :twisted:

    It's only a couple of days after I get back from elsewhere otherwise I might have just gone to test the water...

    Maybe I'm being a bit slow but I couldn't actually work out their pricing for the event :?
