'Sunday on the other hand often involves Gastove with invited mike spots, from about 3pm to 8pm so the mid-day session gets a bit curtailed.'

That seems an unfair statement. the afternoon event is a scheduled part of the programme just as much as the lunchtime schedule, and has been for several years. The midday session does not get curtailed - it just comes to the end of its scheduled time.

Unfortunately two other night workers have booked that night off so my request for leave has been denied.

Its a right Par-larva doing night work I get plenty of time off but it appears at present to be all the wrong time off in regards to music & sessions,Typical ?

Still got the sweeps sorted I am doing Sat,Sun & Bank Holiday Monday in B&B, Guess Where?........Yes I said I was not going back there but I have had a word with Kieran THE OWNER and he has given me the room fOR the same price has last time with one breakfast thrown in and with full electric lighting and TV.Paid a deposit and got nice discount.
MY ONLY CONCERNS ARE MY TWO GUITARS.
i WONDER IF DALE AND kAREN WILL ALLOW ME TO LEAVE THEM IN THE PUB UPSTAIRS? oR DOWN IN THE CELLAR.
I am not bothered about anything else I take in there for I will be travelling very light anyway.

Growler
The room was Ok clean and tidy but after the manager kept moving the Goal posts, Well I just got fed up in the end. B&B are one not two separate charges.

Apart from that The Manager in question looked the spitting image of radio DJ/TV presenter Simon Dee from the 1960s . and worse still spoke like him.

I phoned The Good Intent last night Re B&B to No Avail. The first number I got off the Web did not work at all and the second Different number just rang indefinitely. Indeed most sessions over the Rochester Sweeps will cease early enough for me to get back home again by local train service.

MelodeonBoy Re Your Question Above.
Hows he gonna get from Rochester to Upnor and Why.

1st part of question Easy I would get a train to Strood and walk it or hitch. Like I did last year.
2nd part of question has created enough confusion on other threads. People are pulling there hair out over my confusion which is justified.

So I have opened me own thread on this site entitled.
Pierre Le Chapeau is Confused.

Hi Melodeonboy re your question above.
Why I dont want to go to Andys Snacks.
When I phoned Andys I was told B&B £20.00. This was a mistake and rose to £25.00. Ok so what its only a £5. Once there I took a nap and woke at 730. Had a shower that was Ok.

I think I told You Melodeonboy & Growler That I only had electricity in the room for the main light the TV did not work nor did the bedside lamps there were no sockets in the room and the wires all disappeared through the floor. There was no one to turn to re The Lights, TV. they had all gone home.

So I thought Ok I am going to see John Barden and the Bardetts I wont want to watch TV when I got back from the concert has it would be late, gone midnight and I turn In straight away. So what no TV. No bed side lights.

When I woke up next morn I went down for me Breakfast and was told the breakfast was not in with the price of the room so I would have to pay extra for that.

Thats what pissed me off. About Andys Snacks. And why I do not wish to return.

And why wouldn't you stay at Andy's again, Pierre?

Is it just me or is every thread realting to North Kent activites becoming more than a little confusing? Perhaps we're just having too much fun and overwhelmed by the plethora of events!

There are some very iffy woods the other end of Upnor past the Yacht club - I really doubt if anyone would find you there if you pitched a little camouflaged bivvy. There is a legal right of way (footpath) through the yacht club but most people go along the beach past the Yacht Club and the boathouse and then climb into the woods. Warning - there is 2 feet of water on the beach at spring high tides. Don't fall in while pissed. I know some people who lived behind the boathouse in an asbestos shack for a year - we called it the Blair Witch Project.

The woods near the KA are I think all MoD, and I don't know how long you would remain undiscovered, even in a little camo bivvy.

I don't know any Eddies in Medway

Subject: RE: Good Intent Rocester UK, Folk and Ale
From: Pierre Le Chapeau
Date: 22 Mar 09 - 07:32 AM

To state a fact The Medway has more Eddies, Whirlpools under flows and over flows then most rivers. It has more big currents and under current then my Nans Spotted Dick.

From: Pierre Le Chapeau
Date: 22 Mar 09 - 06:59 AM

Indeed Richard those forts on the Medway.

One is owned by Jim Gardener of Caterham. He also owns Chislehurst Caves in Kent. Which is where my Polish friend works.
I worked down Chislehurst caves for 25 years prior to going to The War Museum.

I am very sensible when pissed I stay well clear of rivers . Drink and drink do not mix well
The Medway is a sod of a river to navigate on a boat let alone swim. The currents are lethal. I have Canoed the Medway several times in the past and consider it more Dangerous then the Themes and thats a killer too.

There are Napoleonic forts overlooking the Borstal area, but I think they were sold to nutters who wanted to build private dwellings in them. There is Fort Amhurst.

If you have a dingy with an outboard there is Dead Man's Island for tenting, but be careful of the currents.

THere is some scrub land the Strood side of the river, behind Morgan's timberyard and past the moorings - and if you pitch under the trees you might stay hidden for the duration, but I would not fancy your chances of staggering there from the GI without putting your foot in something - possibly the Medway.

VT / Richard thanks very much for the above advice.

But the above sounds to me a complete
Par-larva. I may camp at Knockholt on the Tuesday night alone but satisfied that my tent + belongings will still be there when I stagger back up Stonings Lane from the Tally Ho. gone midnight

Oh she wont blame you Richard for getting nicked. Oh No She,ll blame me without doubt.

But the thought of prowling around in the dark trying to pitch a tent in some Dark shadow does not appeal to me and hopefully after reading this will have the same effect with Polish Bird.
She will want to know where the nearest Cave is next.

There is no legitimate useful campsite. Howver there is some land off Cory's lane that you might get away with fly-pitching on after dark, particularly if you find a dark corner out of sight. Don't blame me if you get nicked.
