  2. Hi Bern, we'd like to make an appearance, but no promises, our first and last outing with you being Eskdale Halloween 2014 (to be fair the van has been at various mechanics pretty much since then!).
    What's the form, do we all bring some food eg jacobs table... is there a cost??

    You've pretty much summed it up - all bring food, hopefully get a few BBQs set up and a firepit or two, stand around eating and chatting. It costs £5 per van to get into Tatton Park but that's it. We'll get something up on here a bit nearer the date to see if we can get an idea of who's bringing what. Would be good to meet up again :thumbsup:
     
  4. Smashing, thanks Bern. May have been a bit hasty- Having checked the calendar, that weekend is looking hectic, sunday morning looking like the only opportunity to get over. I have my work's Christmas party the night before...enough said. If we can't make it we will be up for Eskdale in the spring (calendar permitting). We noted Eskdale halloween wasn't on this year so we went to Ruddinghall Hall, Harrogate instead which was fun but a bit 'caravan' heavy . We only spotted one other Vw(T5) while we were there. A real mix of folk, some cracking people from Hyde who tolerated us and let our muddy kids climb over their motorhome and some less tolerant folk, one of whom punched our 8year old son in the face (!) - i'm pretty sure he wasn't in their motorhome either! For families staying there we would recommend the forbidden corner for a great day out (it's about 40 miles form Harrogate £40 family ticket)

    @GreenMachine I love the forbidden corner :). It's sort of ace and a bit rubbish (in a nice way) at the same time. We've been a few times, and also up to middle ham castle. It's cool when you're inside the ruins and can hear the horses on the cobbles outside, it's like going back in time :)

    We have @JennyB bringing a large amount of soup. @72wilma with Christmas on a Stick. What is anybody else planning to bring? A BBQ or two would be good!

    I'm going to call in at Tatton some time this week to make sure that the area is not underwater so keep an eye on this thread.
     
  10. CAKE!

    There is a Christmas Street Party with food and market stalls in our village - Prestbury - from 4pm to 7pm on the same day. we are about 13 miles and 30 minutes East of Tatton Park. If anybody wants to follow us back after the BBQ and park up at ours and walk down to the village - 10 minute walk - they would be very welcome.

    We'll probably aim to get there about 11.30 but any time is fine. We are usually there for a few hours but people come and go.

    Who is coming then and can anyone bring any type of shelter - I don't think it's going to be dry :(
    We could also do with a couple of BBQ offers and the odd sausage and burger - and cake :food:
