I got back this morning from a weekend at the Pike and Eel in Needingworth in Cambridgeshire. Parked the van up overlooking the river, met up with some friends and about a dozen of us went by boat to the Ferry Boat at Holywell (claimed to be the oldest pub in England and has an interesting ghost story and a grave in the bar!). Back to the Pike and they had a guest beer on - it was only bloody Doombar wasn't it!!
Had a great weekend in a fantastic location, no rain but a bit windy, unfortunately he won't let me put it as a POI which is a great shame but I will keep on working on him!

we were almost there at Easter weekend... looks lovely, perhaps a bit of working on them to hold a meet perhaps??? I've tried but the landlord said a definite no! It's a strange one really, they have held tent camping rallies there before, but when they tried a caravan rally he said the locals objected (even though it is very secluded and a good mile from the village at the end of a single track lane. It's a shame because it is a fantastic location (I had a boat moored there for years). I have stayed there a few times in the van, and the landlord said he is fine with that as he knows me quite well and I will probably have another boat back there before too long. Perhaps I could persuade him to have a mini meet at some point and see how it goes, but I don't want to rock the boat too much, coz I love it there and I'm a selfish git!

Yes is a pretty short answer, but I can think of a shorter one
