You have been with us then Crump! Who are you in real life? Not the bugger who fills my mouth with parrot droppings while I am asleep?

Cheers

If you enjoy having a sore throat, sore feet, sore head,flatulence, no washes,baths or showers,a tendency to lose the map and compass when it matters most,wet clothes,a frozen bed,outside toilet,singing until the early hours,playing until your fingers bleed,laughing,eating,guzzling beer,whiskey,brandy,chatting,possibly throwing up due to your failure to be "sensible",finding your 'van in the dark (perilously close to the river),being struck down by "the trots" on the top of Ingleborough and no-one has a toilet roll then this is THE week-end for you.Please form an orderly queue!!

P.S.

Did I mention the snow,sleet,blizzards,earth-tremors,gales and driving rain.Oh, friendly sheep.

Horsheshoes had Black Sheep, didn't it Dave? In fact, it was I who introduced Kendall to the Black Sheep- I have just realised the error of my ways!

The only reason we never let the wimmin know where we were Noreen is the fear of what they would do to our bodies. We have decided to get around that problem by drinking beer, breaking wind and being generally anti-social. Hopefully this will put of all but the most ardent admirers. Well, that's my excuse for how I look anyway...;-)

In truth, the ladies have always been welcome but for some strange reason a wet weekend in February in a damp caravan in Ingleton with a bunch of smelly drunken men just never seems to have appealed to anyone of the female variety. I can't understand it myself?

For the sake of propriety and decorum (and to stop a great deal of hasstle from respective partners) we would need to have the Ladies and Mens houses seperate of course.

JJ - Thwaites in the Horseshoes. Tetleys (I think) in the Masons. All sorts of others available withing striking distance.

The biggest bribe so far has come from the Three Horseshoes with the Masons Arms a close second.

...Oh yes? How much are they prepared to pay you to stay away? :0)

I was under the impression that this was a 'male bonding' (not bondage, Spot) -type weekend. Am I to understand that wimmin are now welcome? I promise to sing, play, listen and drink walk on the Saturday, and do other sociable things as required...

Come back Morticia, Gomez and Kendall- all is forgiven!

(BTW this will be the weekend following the proposed Stoney Stratford Mudcat gathering)

Yes Indeed.....How much I look forward to the annual S.H.I.T.S. visit to Ingleton and will of course be there as a founder member of the SHITS. Should any Mudcat person wish to join us as an Honorary SHITS they are most welcome.

Should you wish to just come along for the weekend and be a fringe SHITS then this is OK too. I beleive that the current venue is under negotiation for film and TV rights and a number of pubs are fighting for the beer and spirits franchise for the weekend.

The biggest bribe so far has come from the Three Horseshoes with the Masons Arms a close second.

If any Mudcatter wants to join us for the weekend then Dave T' Gnome will give them details of very cheap (if somewhat basic) accomodation.The only requirement is that you sing , play or listen and walk on the saturday.

Advance warning to the residents of above town. Lock up your daughters. Hide your sheep. Get in extra beer. The annual Swinton Hardy Intrepid Trecking Society (SHITS) has arranged it's annual Ingleton bash for the weekend of the the 15/16/17 February 2002.

This has been going on for about 20 years now but we still manage to catch them out! It started off as a 'Stag' do for one of our number and the core SHITS will still be the cultural, civilised, well-mannered elite for the weekend and will be, as usual, resident in an exclusive secret hideaway.

The rest of you rabble are grudgingly invited to try and find us singing, performing and being thoroughly entertaining at a milk bar somewhere in Ingleton on the Friday or Saturday night. Or try to catch us up as we excercise or lean, bronzed bodies on one of the higher fells on Saturday afternoon.

This is NOT a folk festival. We are all tee-totalers and do not believe in the the noisy raucous behavior caused by revelers at those satanic events.

This is something else entirerly....;-)

PS - Ingleton became an altogther safer place once Kendall ceased his late night ramblings.
