Oh I don't know. The idea may live on in another form…..

seems little point in pursuing this now since any content created will be behind a subscription.
Oh well. It was a lovely idea while it lasted.

That's a technical term, is it, 'Long drop shitter'?

This sounds like an excelent plan and I can offer the camping venue for free! I own a lovely field in North Devon which is set up for hardy boy scout types. Comes complete with composting 'long drop' shitter and hot water courtesy of a basic but effective stream water heating system.

No excuses now, 78 members and counting…..

Dear God.. I think camping should be avoided at all costs. I couldn't think of anything worse! (Well obviously I could!) but still. I just can't fathom why anyone would find it enjoyable! You need to get the podcasts back to how they were.. Normob spotting, round up of the news, competitions, bloopers. Job Done.

One better: I can LEND you a Cath Kidston gazebo.

Suggestion for team kit-out session: Paint Dan & Ben in PVA, take them to a Millets and tell them there's a production-release PicoProjector hidden somewhere inside.

And for Ewan: oh yes...http://tinyurl.com/aq7qp4 and http://tinyurl.com/bwsbqm and the ultimate: http://tinyurl.com/bx5mbh

i say yes, you should do it. but you should make the camping trip coincide with a festival. i know Dan would LOVE Party in the Park, i hear the Saturday Girls are headlining.

Er… “You city softies” ..?

I hope you're not including me in that lot are you? I mean, you *are* talking to the guy that's blogged the Glastonbury Festival from his Nokia N95 two years running…

Right?

I'm *well* up for this, I reckon it'll be a laugh..

Just say when folks – I am in like Errol Flynn.

It's all about picking the right site, pitch and weather. And the right gear. There's no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing or shelter. You can be very toasty dry in sub-zero windchill and rain/sleet, if you have the correct kit.

This said, if you do turn up with a cotton summer sleeping bag and a plastic sheet, I may raise a dry smile or two.

Plus part of me really, really wants to see the 'Who gets to light the fire / cut things up" conversations.

True, but those are for when the zombie hordes attack not for when we decide to shun 5-star hotels and well stocked minibars!

You should come and show off Nokia Maps, Rafe!

On the plus side you would get to use all your tools and whatnot. And you could use a lot of gaffer-tape.

Yeah… 'educational' that's the euphemism my parents used for 'unpleasent'
when we were growing up…

Its not wanting to see you uncomfortable, it would be be fun. I'm sure it would be funny too though… It could be very educational too.

Rafe / Mike: Have I done something to upset either of you…? What's this desperate need to see us uncomfortable?

I reckon we get these guys to run the weekend. I'd pay good money to watch that.
