Good news about the wood supply! Those nice people who supplied the wood in September are bringing us 3 loads of logs this year, so we should have a good blaze going throughout.

Refresh - just over two weks to go. I'm trying to organise transport as we don't have car at the moment and I seem to have nearly as much stuff as DK these days. What, with the huge tent camp bed etc. That's what old age does to you. At my first knockholt ten years ago I had a tiny tent - no sleeping bag or any other luxuries.

Am I right that Knockholt is the nearest station?

Subject: RE: Knockholt 2008 Summer Breeze
From: GUEST,woodsie
Date: 02 Jun 08 - 12:06 PM

Right! Stations ...
Knockholt or Dunton Green are the nearest stations as the crow flies - about 5 or 6 miles by road about 10! But the easiest to get to our field is Orpington Station Then an R5 bus which stops near the Tally Ho The Journey is about 25 minutes. I put the field postcode into TFL journey planner to see how to get from the campsite to Knockholt station and it planned a journey By bus to Orpington then a train back to knockholt station!

I need to collect my daughter and boyf from a station at about 11 Sun AM and then drive to Wiltshire for an unavoidable family do. Orpington looks like more of a nuisance than Knockholt station as far as I can see.

Oh if you are driving then Knockholt Station is the best bet.

Richard, Orpington has a better service than Knockholt, especially on a Sunday.

You only use Knockholt Station if you're a really good walker, or arrange a taxi from there. The station used to be called Halstead which is about a mile away, but was changed to Knockholt due to parcels being sent there instead of Halstead Essex. Woodsie is quite right, get off at Orpington and onto a R5 bus, bound for Knockholt Pound. It stops a few hundred yards from the Tally Ho, but you might have to ask the driver to stop there. Buses run around every hour but check timetable with TFL as I may be wrong. Pete the Hat uses the bus to go back to Orpington for supplies. He does the whole journey within 2 hours usually.

The driver will stop outside the Tally Ho if you request.

It was quite a shock waking up to a field full of sheep. Had to get the farmer to round them up and mend the fence. Hope the fence is intact this year. What are we cooking and eating for Thursday please?

That is why it is better to eat the mutton on the Thursday, before too many of the sheep have been caught...

If you were shocked Girl Friday, think how the sheep must have felt waking up to a field full of folkies!

ps: shall I pack some spare wellies again?

Hi Sue
we have decided that myself, Linda and Sue will do large pots of stuff enough to feed loads. I am doing indian beef curry with rice and chappatis. Linda is doing a large paella, and sue is doing green chicken Tai curry.
Feel free to add to that if you want to.

After last years fiasco there will be beer and nibbles available in the Marquee on Saturday, but the punch and anything else will be in a seperate marquee by invitation only!

What do we have to do to get an invitation to the other marguee? Or should that be what do we not have to do? Or possibly who do we have to do? (naughty, naughty, slap wrist)

Indian Beef Curry? - I've heard of beef curry, but it's not Indian. The cow is sacred in that country. Lamb, Fish, chicken etc. May I suggest Kosher pork pies instead!
