Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: terrier Date: 16 Jul 09 - 04:59 PM Well, the boss has given me leave of absence so's I can come to your fezzie. Can anyone tell me if I have to book in advance to park a campervan or will I have to dos in the layby? |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 17 Jul 09 - 03:38 AM Fantastic, no campervans will need to be parked in layby's as there aren't any conveniently close - so drive right up to the hotel and up the little drive at the back and you will find more happy campers there! No you don't need to book in advance! This is as much advance notice as we need! |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 17 Jul 09 - 10:14 AM Last year, there was a Viking festival on at nearby Amlwch & there some activities also near Bull Bay, anyone know if its on this time? |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 17 Jul 09 - 10:44 AM As far as I know Jo picked a different weekend so everyone all be at Bull Bay! Hooray!! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Bass Harmony Date: 18 Jul 09 - 05:22 AM We went shopping in Camaes cause there are no shops at Bull Bay and we went for a meal there. There were some rock band playing in various pubs for some sort of festival weekend. It was Ok. Meal Nice. Try the Black Welsh Pie. |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 18 Jul 09 - 08:42 AM Don't forget Bull Bay Hotel is a very highly recommended fish restaraunt! They also have great bar meals and very good chips! Update, Acoustak may be with us Sunday and Tony and John from London based band Kick the Cat are definately joining us Friday and Saturday. Sadly Picnic Area Andy and Wayne are unable to be with us. I think there was also a festival at one of the bays we went to visit where the RNLI did a demo rescue and there was a bit of a street fair, but I was cross as the demo then turned into a water fight in the harbour and all the kids (and grown ups) on their boats were having lots of fun with water filled balloons then popping them, I couldn't help thinking about all the bits of non biodegradable balloon in the water! Didn't seem too eco-friendly to me!! |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 19 Jul 09 - 09:53 AM It's just occured to me that since we'll be in Wales, & Mr Roberts is Welsh, then my new Grappelli song should be done in Welsh a la Les Barker. Unfortunately, I have no grasp of Cymraeg but can compromise by at least pronouncing all the double 'L' words in the Welsh way. If you happen to hear me performing it, then it won't mean I'm attempting to clear my throat prior to imminent expectoration!! |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Dave Roberts Date: 24 Jul 09 - 06:50 AM Well, there's just one week to go (or less than that if you include Lizzie's Thursday for early arrivers). Lost In The Mist will be there on Sunday afternoon. This may be construed as saving the best until last or as putting off the evil day, as preferred. |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: billybob Date: 24 Jul 09 - 08:23 AM Piece of usless information for you, Pete Chopping( one time bass player with Skinners Rats)owned, and lived on, "The Pride Of Anglesea" which was the RNLI lifeboat at Bull Bay, built in 1904. It was a sailing lifeboat and later converted into a rather lovely live on boat.Legend has it that when he bought it, in Lowestoft, he then sailed down the East coast to the River Medway with an AA road map! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 24 Jul 09 - 08:56 AM You are most welcome to impart useless info here! The rest of us do! That is a little more interesting though! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 24 Jul 09 - 10:13 AM Here's a bird's eye view of the pub & camp field http://www.multimap.com/maps/?zoom=16&countryCode=GB&qs=GL556UR#map=53.42368,-4.37069|18|32&bd=useful_information&loc=GB:53.4228 The campsite's up the track going north past the hotel, then to the left. You can see how close to the cliffs & sea it is! |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: GUEST,Val & Ral Date: 25 Jul 09 - 02:26 PM Have really enjoyed reading all the emails so far.building up so much anticipation. First time at the festival (have been to many bigger festivals in the past, but this sounds like the best) but have been to the Bull Bay Hotel a few times, always in fantastic weather. Good to see an East Anglian link (from Lost in the Mist) as we are travelling from Norwich.... how many are travelling further I wonder? I am a quarter Welsh tho & will call in on family in N. Wales on the way over.Billybob's email very interesting as I, Val am from The Medway Towns (on the River Mudway) & Ral is from Lowestoft! BTW on a pratical note.....will there be a stand pipe in that camping field? See y'all soon, Val & Ral |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 26 Jul 09 - 12:38 PM Pertaining to facilities! Water - I tried to send this earlier but Mudcat was off for a bit! THere is an outdoor water tap at the back of the hotel so not in the camping field but a short walk about 50 yards. If you need any help moving water - let us know. On that point there isn't a point for getting rid of waste, but there is an outside loo, close to the back of the hotel, but facilities inside are available all weekend and through the night! As Mr Happy says, nothing is more than a 5 minute walk. The track is a little bumpy and you'll need a torch for night time, but that's camping! The views in the morning are well worth it! |

I immediately searched for a pic of an Eagle Owl by typing UHU into Google. Mistake! Pages and pages of UHU's and not one pic of a bird of prey! :) Try Bubo Bubo.. OK, I'm bored... |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Dave Roberts Date: 26 Jul 09 - 09:48 PM Well, quite. But now that we have established that this thread may be used to impart completely useless information. I would like to tell everyone who may be interested (and also everyone else) that the first person to photograph ice crystals with a microscope was William A Bentley (1865-1931). And I have an impeccable source for my UHU information, I'll have you know. On the other hand, I'd hate anyone to think I was just posting drivel on this thread in order to keep it going until the Bull Bay Festival actually starts. Perish the thought. |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 27 Jul 09 - 05:02 AM I'd like to get it 100 posts by the time I leave on Wed afternoon! Do you think we can do it! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 27 Jul 09 - 05:21 AM OK, how much |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 27 Jul 09 - 06:12 AM We'll Dave seems to have set a precedence!! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 27 Jul 09 - 06:33 AM Hope his post doesn't mean we may expect ice crystals at the weakend! |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: My guru always said Date: 27 Jul 09 - 07:37 AM Met Office are showing the chance of showers for Holyhead on Friday, maybe they'll miss Bull Bay! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Dave Roberts Date: 28 Jul 09 - 04:14 AM Now here's a bit of useless information which will go a little way towards putting this thread back on topic. My researches indicate that the word 'Mist' in German is slang for..er..manure. However, some would say that this merely makes the name 'Lost In The Mist' even more appropriate. |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 28 Jul 09 - 04:40 AM Some worrying news for mudcatters ears only just at present. I had a phone call from a very shocked Trefor Williams yesterday as of Vicki and Trefor to say that Vicki is quite ill and they won't be joining us at the weekend. I do have more info but will tell you more at the weekend, speaking on behalf of all their good friends I am sure we will all want to wish her a speedy recovery and I know we will all think of a way to wish her better and we'll all look forward to seeing them both at future festivals and events! |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Bass Harmony Date: 28 Jul 09 - 04:41 AM Beware of the Mist on the Campsite AKA the field that usually has cows in behind, the Hotel. One must be especially careful of Der Mist in the mist. |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Bass Harmony Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:36 AM For those of you who are avid Lost in Der Mist fans. They will be performing at the Woodside caravan park Llanssantffraid Powys . On the Saturday night. This is a short 2 hour drive from Bull Bay. Incidentally word check does not like the word Llansantffraid and offers the alternative.... Antidepressant. |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 28 Jul 09 - 06:39 AM Sorry to hear about Vicky, hope she recovers soon. |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Dave Roberts Date: 28 Jul 09 - 06:43 AM Just to echo Mr H's words about Vicky. Let's hope she's soon feeling better. |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 28 Jul 09 - 08:48 AM ...............counting down, only another 3 & 1/2 days to go, [2 1/2 for those going Thursday] I'm picking Mrs H upfrom work in Liverpool around 2pm ish on Friday, then straight to Bull Bay - Yippee! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Bass Harmony Date: 28 Jul 09 - 03:00 PM Caravan on drive, battery charging. We are off at about 2pm tomorrow so we can have a couple of days with the kids, digging mantraps on the campsite, watering the beer and arranging torrential down pours. You can be sure we will nick the best camping spot. We will also be removing local road signs so we don't get disturbed by guitar strumming unshaven folk types. |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 28 Jul 09 - 03:13 PM Terry Wogan happened to mention on his 'ask Lynne' spot a morning or two ago a particular road sign pointing to something in Camaes that read, '...............previous left! Can't remember what he said it was pointing to but I am going to find it! |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Bass Harmony Date: 28 Jul 09 - 03:35 PM Only one more entry before the magic 100 is reached then we can start the Bull Bay at New year thread. Mind you I will hopefully be gigging at New Year again. Any one want a Ceilidh Band for new year ???? Right must go and put my bucket and spade in the Caravan. Is this a cynical way of making 100 entries???? |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: My guru always said Date: 28 Jul 09 - 03:41 PM Ok, my first 100! |
