Excellent! We could have fun with this....kind of like identical twins pretending to be each other!..
....we'll certainly keep challenge control on their toes! :-)

Look forward to meeting you in the pub!

I really must apologise, you see it wasn't my idea as I had already planned my route and was just having lunch with a certain Humphrey Weightman who suggested that if I tweeked my route I could join your merry bunch for cheese & wine. Well I thought it would be rude not to take up such a kind offer !.

Look forward to joining you space permitting.

Cheers
Ian

I see that this thread is the first to have passed one thousand views! Mr Sloman, I salute you! That Sinclair is a Thoroughly Decent Fellow and will Fit Right In. And is a near neighbour of mine. I understand that he is sourcing an amusing Chateau Latour as we speak.

It's all shaping up to be a perfectly splendid soirée. But ... dress code? Smart/casual I imagine? Only asking . . .

Hi Ian and Welcome!

Both the Fine Weather and Foul Weather locations have been chosen to provide plenty of good camping spots for zillions of Challengers and their guests.

Humph: Dress code is indeed smart/casual, as detailed on the invite at the top of the thread.

Route now finalised to be there! Not sure how I'll pick up a supply of booze yet. The cheese is manageable. Silly question - how do you deal with the empties?

Hi Kirsten.

That's splendid news!



The best solution is to decant your wine into a Platypus Wine Preserver available from the excellent Backpackinglight.co.uk (That's Podcast Bob's outfit). It weighs next to nothing!

To be honest, any platypus would do.
I mean, you don't carry it for long do you?
Last year, ours didn't even make it to the Cheese and Wine.

The party is getting bigger!

We now have Jaya John (JJJ?) & Barney coming along as well.

Any more for anymore?
