h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Sorry, My tent also comes into the good for carrying, bad for Partying category!

My tent is about three centimetres square, and has to accomodate both Tinkerbell and myself, which is quite a difficult accomplishment - as we discovered on the side of a mountain on the Isle of Harris

I've discovered that I have to work on 23 June, so I think this means I can't come. This is a disappointment for me, particularly as the meet has a visit to the Eden Project, which I would dearly love to visit.

I hope all goes well.

oh boo

You'll be pleased to know we have somewhere to stay! - I have now made arrangements with Carlyon Campsite, we are booked in between the 20th to the 24th of June.

I arranged with the campsite manager for me to pay in full for my pitch and that also to be counted as a retainer for the further pitches we will require. So you will pay for your pitch when you get there, for as long as you will be staying & no messing about with deposits is needed from you. "I love it when a plan comes together!"

I've estimated from the names on the list that there will be between 10 - 15 pitches, and we will all be together once we arrive

Further details about the campsite can be found on their website, a link to which is on the main SW meet page - so check there if you need to know anything further, or ask here. I'll see what I can do.

Looking forward to seeing you all there,
DNA Meets Team.

Looks like I am not going to make it

Noooooo!!!!! How come VP?

Getting down there in time to go to the Eden Project is probably going to be too tricky, as I have to allow for possibility of oral degree examination on the friday before the saturday you are going, and like, edinburgh to cornwall is quite a distance

and if it wasnt for my possible oral, I would come down for the full 4/5 days, but seeing as it would only be one and a half days, the travel expense becomes harder to justify, even if I could make it down on time...

being virtually skint at the moment doesnt help you see..

got to arrange to get there somehow- car having been withdrawn.

let me know what time you're heading Eden Project-wards and I'll do the train/bus deal to get there, if someone can get me to the campsite afterwards?

Well Toc has kindly hired us a car so we shall definately now be driving down on the Friday night. We'll work out how long it will take us to get there and then we will annoy you further with questions about where people will be then. Ooooo, I've never been to Cornwall before so I am looking forward to it.

My brother tells me that driving to and queuing at the Eden Project can be a nightmare due to the large number of visitors; however you can get a ticket for a bus to it which also enables you to jump the queue at the gates. I will ask him for more details.

yeah - I'm pretty sure the buses go from St Austell train station, I imagine their website should say surely (Eden's I mean)
I've not had too much problem getting in there ever, but then I've never been on a Saturday in June.

I've been loads (well 4 times now) and never queued - as long as yuo go in the afternoon and it isn't wet (as then loads more people decide to go)

But I think we should take as few cars as possible.

CH

well, apparently I now have the car - a "nice" chunky estate with lots of space in it.

We have a car and will be arriving on Friday morning so there'd better be someone there at some stage or it'll be a repeat of the MMMPII effort of Wilmslow

Also this a plea for help from a very traumed fairy! I've managed to blag the chance of an audition to present top gear but need to send them a video of me first. PLlllllllllllllleaaaasssseeeee if anyone going has a camcorder can you bring it and I'll even pay rent on it for the 3 minutes that I need it? PLlllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

So what time are we planning on heading for the Eden Project on Saturday?
I'm going to be away Thursday am till Friday at about 6ish, so if someone could leave details of where I should meet you guys that would be lovely...

My advice remains we head off after lunch - always the advice of the Eden folk.

Warning - mobiles don't work that well deep in a clay pit in Cornwall - Orange had reception last time I was there but not the 1st time - dunno about other networks.

CH

Well as someone who knows nothing about the place whatsoever, I'll bow to your superior wisdom Chris.

Name a time & a meeting point & I'll be happy to go along with it.
ASS!
