You can sleep upstairs in the bothy if you really want, Anne, I gather folk do that for the Full Moon sessions, it's quite cosy. Have to wait until all the midnight-oilers have dispersed before getting some quiet ...oh....er... hang on a mo.... talking to the wrong gal... ?!!!

Carol, I've hunted out some cushions, 4 dark red silk ones with wee mirrors and 2 jade/greeny/bluey silk ones and one jade/purple silk. Hard to know what to bring. I'll bring the covers flat-packed. I'll also bring 4 cushion inners then you can pick out the covers you prefer to go with them. Think I need a trailer! It's really mild here this morning with very light rain. No snow - yay! Cooking on gas, guys!

Arrived Shap Bothy at 7.30am.
I am in second space in layby. I put cone with disabled parking only in first bay, so Molly can park in front of me when she gets here.

Are you coming over, Brewkit? That's cool, it should be a good gathering!
Great 3 Mobile dongle signal up here being near Shap Summit. 5 bars. I could happily live in this layby full time.

Don't expect me to be doing much online after this morning as we're not properly sorted for internet access when on the road. I have an iphone, but it's a slow pig - takes an hour to access the sites, find the threads and post one blinkin' sentence! You'll be able to have a bit of peace and quiet for the weekend, I'll be bending the ears and boring the pants off the poor b*ggers at the meet instead!

@marie you need the proboards app, it's very good. WVW and Basildog use it to name but two. Yep, it's worth paying for. The only prob (and also applies to WC Android app) is that you can't "like" posts or see notifications but there's not been an update for a while so hopefully they are working on that and it will be sorted for the next update. Firefox / Brewkit - if you're feeling like having a bit of a stroll, the cottage on the other side of Wet Sleddale Resvr (opposite side to the car park) is the one in Withnail and I. It's in private hands but the footpath runs very close, and it's probably only about a 20 min walk from the car park. Brewkit - you're only about 2 miles from Shap Village where there are public toilets and a Co-op shop etc. I can highly recommend the homemade Cumberland Sausage in the butcher's shop in Shap - the best in Cumbria I reckon.

Carol, there'll be tons of room! I'm waiting for his nibs to come out of the shower before I jump in myself. Men! {sigh} Everything packed except clothes bags - on the road soon!
