Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 16 Apr 07 - 09:50 AM terrier, sorry, found we appropriated your cup - get in touch to get it back! |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Grab Date: 10 Apr 07 - 03:48 PM (In case you don't check your PMs) Yes it's mine. There's always something I've left behind - glad it was a relatively inexpensive item this time! I'll try for Chester - see how we're set. WLD, there's your mistake then. Saturday afternoon we were all sat outside the tents in the field next door to enjoy the lovely weather, variously talking, eating, drinking and playing as the mood took us. Graham. |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 10 Apr 07 - 10:11 AM just occured to me as I'd eaten hare for the 1st time on Sunday night,'twas positively hare lip smacking good!! |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 10 Apr 07 - 10:07 AM Absolutely incredible, astounding, astonishing experience!! & A huge thanks to all who attended bringing their diverse & wonderful talents to share with us all. Extra big thanks to Tom [ Superb food in 3 Sags including: Relope, relope, retiring hare, straight into my drooling mouth! Apologies to Weelittle drummer, the Saturday afternoon sesh was on the camp field, as the weather was so scorchio! On arriving home & unpacking, discovered we쳌fd stolen Stan Zervas쳌fs tea towel and his stripy chair. Also gained another chair with green cloth material & aluminium legs, think might be Graham쳌fs [Grab]. If not, can the owner let me know or form an orderly queue outside Mr Happy쳌fs Music Therapy Marquee at Chester Folk Festival, which will be our next big do! http://www.chesterfolk.org.uk/festnews.htm |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Big Al Whittle Date: 10 Apr 07 - 09:09 AM I popped in on Saturday afternoon, but there was nobody in the pub apart from some bikers. Never mid perhaps third time lucky with that place! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Grab Date: 10 Apr 07 - 06:18 AM Cheers all - good to see everyone and put faces to names (and real-names to Mudcat-names). And thanks to Mr Happy for setting the ball rolling. Shame I had to leave on Saturday, but duty called. And turns out two of my brother-in-law's kids are musicians (one guitar/bass, one drums), so all was not lost. :-) Time to lead the little darlings into temptation - muhuhuhahaaa! Anyway, roll on next year. Or maybe another sesh later this year? See how it goes. And if I get my arse moving and get out to some festivals this year, hopefully might meet up with some of you out there. Graham. |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: BanjoRay Date: 08 Apr 07 - 05:52 AM What a great weekend - beautiful weather, great walking up Peter's Stone and down Cressbrookdale, and some storming sessions in an exquisite pub with some fine musicians, Tom, Tim, Jim, Anna, John, Barbara, Graham, Stan, Marilyn, Carol, Lynn, Dennis etc (Mudcat names are up to you!). The food, beer and company really hit the spot. Sorry I had to leave early Sunday to go to SoreFingers and my fingers are sore before I get there. Thanks guys -it was wonderful. Ray |

An' you're talkin' of singin' outside,MrH? The Night of the Frozen Folkies. I'll have to wear my woolie socks with my sandles now! |

|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 05 Apr 07 - 12:43 PM ...........any Easter Gatherins in Siberia? |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: GUEST,Ray Date: 05 Apr 07 - 12:38 PM Sorry I mentioned the smallpox - not many people know about this. Weather is currently sunny but it was this morning and I had to scrape the ice of the car before I could drive off. The thing to remember is that the Peak District is the same latitude as Siberia so my advice, as a local, would be to come prepared for anything. As for me, I'm staying at home (too many tourists at this time of year) and we're running the Sunday evening singaround at the Woodford festival anyway. |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 05 Apr 07 - 12:34 PM ...............& unfortunately the pub's not open 'til Gd Friday! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 05 Apr 07 - 12:30 PM Graham, not 2 night, we won't b there 'til Friday 'round 5pm ish |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Grab Date: 05 Apr 07 - 12:22 PM Met Office says "dry and sunny". Graham says "Yippeee!". See you all up there tonight - probably get there around 10-11pm. Graham. |

|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 05 Apr 07 - 12:11 PM Tom! That's splendid news! Look 4ward c u with gusto!! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: terrier Date: 05 Apr 07 - 12:01 PM I'm on my way, but I think I'll give the accordeon a miss, those things take up the space of three drunken folkies in a small space (so I'm told). Hope to be there for Friday night. Arf,Arf! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 05 Apr 07 - 10:20 AM yes - hopefully it'll be 'Phew! wot a scorcher! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: BanjoRay Date: 05 Apr 07 - 08:40 AM It looks as if I'm going to be there, complete with banjo (boo, hiss) and possibly fiddle to add some more to the noise level over the weekend. I'll be shooting off fairly early on Sunday, as I'll have to get back to Doncaster for a shower then get to the Cotswolds for the start of Sore Fingers week. Phew! The forecast looks good. Ray |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 05 Apr 07 - 08:22 AM only 1 more day, can't weight! |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 04 Apr 07 - 08:38 PM ...........mebbe the flute as well? |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 04 Apr 07 - 07:40 PM terrier, Haven't u heard the traditional foke song: 'Little Poxes on the Hillside'? u seem to have quite meticulous requirements, d'ye think perhaps this event may not be for you? But there again if ye do condescend to cum y'd be welcome. BTW, will u be bringing the accordeon, vile inn, gittara, etc? |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: terrier Date: 04 Apr 07 - 04:39 PM SMALLPOX!!!!!! Would that be upwind or downwind of the campsite. Not to put a finer point on it, but some of those small poxes of yesteryear could be still hanging around and by now they would have grown into bloody big poxes. ;D |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Grab Date: 04 Apr 07 - 04:14 PM The main bylaw it meets is the "bygumIneededthat" law. Which is the important one after a night partaking of Abbeydale's finest ales. |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: GUEST,Ray Date: 04 Apr 07 - 01:31 PM I've never noticed the shed and I pass there regularly so it can't be that big. Don't worry about subsidence its not that sort of mining - you're more likely to fall down a pothole or a mineshaft. In fact, a friend of mine from Litton (just over the hill) - we don't talk about him much 'cos he plays the banjo - found a new one last year; only 700+ feet deep though. You could always pitch your tent a couple of hundred yards up the road - nice flat field - used to be the site of a smallpox hospital. |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: terrier Date: 04 Apr 07 - 12:59 PM I'm still a little worried about this 'Loo shed'. What colour is it? Does it conform to local bylaws i.e. size and distance from dwellings, adjacency to underground water courses. As this is a mining area, do we know for certain that there is no subsidence in the immediate area? I would hate to think of the shed and several tents/caravans/vardas/teepees disappearing down a large hole and ending up being carried down a comunal water....No, it's too horrible to contemplate. Will there be a supply of gas masks? |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 04 Apr 07 - 12:10 PM well it's only Wednesday! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: GUEST,Ray Date: 04 Apr 07 - 12:09 PM Passed the site about an hour ago - no tents yet, just the sheep! |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Grab Date: 04 Apr 07 - 05:42 AM When I said "shed", I meant exactly that... |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 03 Apr 07 - 07:04 PM central heating: no does it go off at night? no it doesn't go off, it stays right where it is!! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: mandotim Date: 03 Apr 07 - 06:04 PM Terrier; er...'no' and 'no'. Tim |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: terrier Date: 03 Apr 07 - 01:42 PM Does the 'Loo shed' have central heating and does it go off at night? |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Black Diamond Date: 03 Apr 07 - 10:22 AM right ho Mr Villan I will try to stop panicking now!!! Lin |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 03 Apr 07 - 09:12 AM GUEST,Philippa, where might you be travelling from? |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Grab Date: 03 Apr 07 - 08:53 AM BD, it's not a "campsite" campsite, if you see what I mean. It's a field (from which the sheep have hopefully been removed) with a small loo shed in one corner. As you're stood facing the 3 Stags, the camping field is the field next to it on the right - there's a gate about 5-10 yards along from the Stags. It should be easy enough to find though, on account of there being a bunch of tents in there already! The owners are pretty relaxed about it all. If you arrive late, just pay them in the morning. Graham. |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Black Diamond Date: 03 Apr 07 - 07:41 AM Im packing already! we wont be able to get there much before 9.00 pm on Friday night. will we be able to find the campsite in the dark, and find a space on the site and do we have to book in anywhere????? Lin |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: GUEST,Philippa Date: 03 Apr 07 - 07:30 AM what day does it go on to --does everyone leave by Mon morning or do some stay till Tuesday or ...? what is the name of the bus co that serves the area? |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 02 Apr 07 - 10:45 AM .......only four 'n a half more days to go! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Grab Date: 02 Apr 07 - 06:08 AM I'll only be there until Sat morning, so that might free up some space on Sat night - still be busy though, by the look of it. Met Office is currently saying the weather will hold dry up to Saturday, but showers will come across during the weekend, so looks like that might work out well for me and my tent. Terrier, Geoff definitely doesn't sing or play guitar, so you're safe there! :-) Graham. |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Carol Date: 02 Apr 07 - 05:25 AM Yes we'll be there on Thursday I've PM'd you Mr Happy |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 01 Apr 07 - 07:49 PM terrier, you could always sleep in your car, I've done it piles o' times - very comfy with all the seats down & wrapped up in sleeping bag! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: terrier Date: 01 Apr 07 - 02:49 PM Hey, I'd love to come along but I ain't got a camper. Anyone with spare bunk in caravan/trailer(for sale or rent)? Mr H. as I recall, that photo is the first time I've seen you without a fag!:) I take it that this pub DOESN'T have a 'SINGING' landlord, unlike the last Mr.H sesh I went to and is anyone there going to own up to spiking said landlords guitar, Hmmmmmm. |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Black Diamond Date: 01 Apr 07 - 11:40 AM have you booked the weather Mr Happy?? Lin |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 31 Mar 07 - 02:39 PM Counting down to Good Friday - only another 5 days to go - can't wait - Yipppeee!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 30 Mar 07 - 09:29 AM ossonflags, that's a shame - hope you weren't put off by space - have you got another do to do? |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: ossonflags Date: 30 Mar 07 - 03:24 AM Will not need to do that now Mr Happy, we will not be coming. |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: mandotim Date: 30 Mar 07 - 02:39 AM It's not that, I just didn't want to block anyone's passage....was that an innuendo, or is that an Italian suppository? I'll get me coat... Tim ;) |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 29 Mar 07 - 10:52 AM anus oil? you inferring I've a loose end? |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 29 Mar 07 - 10:06 AM never mind - we've got piles!! 8-) |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: mandotim Date: 29 Mar 07 - 04:40 AM Might just bring the mandolin...sounds like there might not be room for a guitar as well! Tim |

|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Pilgrim Date: 26 Mar 07 - 08:45 AM In all liklihood I'll be flying solo that weekend. |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: John J Date: 25 Mar 07 - 02:48 PM I should have mentioned: we'll probably only be there from Sunday afternoon. John |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Black Diamond Date: 25 Mar 07 - 02:45 PM Hi Mr Happy I confirm that there will be 2 of me, unless the weather deteriorates! Lin |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Big Al Whittle Date: 25 Mar 07 - 01:36 PM That place is totally awesome as a folk venue! Wow! http://www.greatbeer.co.uk/derthst.htm I went there last night having read somewhere on the net there was a session on. Alas no session, but what a place! KapoW! I've gotta go in hospital and have a stent put in an artery the week after next - they ain't sure if it will work, but if it does I'm going to take all my mates out there for a mega - session celebration! Meanwhile let me wish you all the best with your event and congratulate you on finding such a place. well done! have a good one! big al whittle |

|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 25 Mar 07 - 09:09 AM Ossonflags et al, I too am getting a little jittery about the imminent influx of Miskin refugees. Here's another phone no for the cafe. Wardlow Mires Service Station Wardlow Buxton Derbyshire SK17 8RW tel: 01298 872880 Tim's suggestion above makes good sense, & with this info, we may be able to find out if there's alternative, more spacious venue accommodation available around the immediate area. The list of those attending up to now is: Mr & Mrs Happy 2 Anna & Phil 2 Barby & Jim 2 Marilyn 1 John J ? Black Diamond 2 Mandotim 3 Strollin Johnny ? Ossonflags + 10 Grab Carol ? Banjo Ray ? Pilgrim ? Making a provisional total of 28, as the people I've put a ? by means I don't know how many in their respective parties. Could everyone coming please verify & also how many with them, please? |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: mandotim Date: 25 Mar 07 - 07:44 AM I'm starting to get worried about this; the pub is a very small 'two roomer', and fifteen or so people in the larger room is crowded. Good weather means sining in the camping field is ok, but bad weather could make things awkward. Perhaps start a list of who is definitely coming, to get an idea of numbers? I'll probably only be there on Saturday night, with my wife and youngest daughter. Tim |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 23 Mar 07 - 10:24 AM In the knowledge that, following the sad demise of Miskin, Mr Happy's little do may now be unindated with disenfranchised Missed Skinites; here's some issues to be considered: *The 3 Stags Heads isn't a huge pub, in fact more than a dozen in the music space & its standing room only. * a possible solution to this prob could be if anyone has a largish tent that could be brought along to use as an alternative sinaround/muso venue?? |

|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 23 Mar 07 - 09:16 AM I'm not aware pub's stock of cider - it's the real ales that's the big attraction! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: bubblyrat Date: 23 Mar 07 - 07:10 AM I must say , it looks very attractive ,if somewhat distant !! Now then---does anyone think that this venue could take another couple of hundred folkies, following the sudden cancellation of this year"s Miskin Festival ??? Alternative venue now urgently sought !! Is t' camp-site big enough to take t' hordes from t' South ??? And ( more importantly for some ) does the Three Stags' Heads sell proper-job cider ?? Just a thought !! |

|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Black Diamond Date: 21 Mar 07 - 03:42 PM no not TT - just dont like the taste of beer. I cant help it, I was born like it. my husband has tried, my Morris side has tried, the brewery up North what has guided tours has tried, and I still dont like it. But I do like rum. Am I forgiven??? |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 21 Mar 07 - 11:32 AM Black Diamond, I was labouring under a misapprehension - I thought you were TT - but obviously not if you're a Rum guzzler! I do, therefore recommend that you at least indulge in a taster of the ales on offer - you say you don't care for beer - but this stuff's unbelievable!! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Black Diamond Date: 20 Mar 07 - 04:54 AM oh yeh I love food!! will anyone else eat in the pub - dont want to be the only one in there, while everybody else is out enjoying their watmed up mince in the tent!! and I do like rum!! Lin |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 18 Mar 07 - 10:43 AM For those who've never met Mr Happy, here's a piccy of me so you'll know me when you come to Wardlow: http://www.mudcat.org/photos/photo_page.cfm?file_name_sent=mr_happy |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 17 Mar 07 - 05:13 PM Good news! Geoff at 3 Stags is now fully in the know about fothcoming thisty folkies & will make sure he has adequate supplies! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 16 Mar 07 - 07:31 AM I was reminded at Wednesday's Mr Happy's Come All Ye session that Geoff the landlord of the 3 Stags Heads should be given due notice that we may well drink the pub dry, as happened last year, when the place ran out of beer on the Sunday night! Had to resort to bottles! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 15 Mar 07 - 05:41 PM There's a cunningly concealed hint as to when this evnt will occur in the thread title. Easter this year is 6th- 10th April 2007! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: danensis Date: 15 Mar 07 - 04:12 PM O.K. I've now lost the plot completely. What date is this happening in 2007? John |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Grab Date: 15 Mar 07 - 01:28 PM I'll bring my octave mandolin along, not that I'm much cop on it. Still, maybe I can loan it out and see what it sounds like when played properly. And probably my Regal resonator too - not sure I want to risk the Lowden in a packed 3 Stags session, and steel guitars are pretty much indestructable. I suspect my voicebox will be coming along for the ride too. Philippa, being in the country, it's pretty badly served for public transport. The nearest station is Hope, and the busses aren't much good. If you do want to come, I'm sure we can sort out a pick-up - PM me if you want and we can sort out contact numbers and things. (You'll need to get yourself a login on Mudcat, but why wouldn't you want one anyway? ;-) Graham. |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: mandotim Date: 15 Mar 07 - 12:29 PM Hi Phillipa; yes, dogs are welcome both on the camping field and in the pub. Two provisos; it's lambing time, so leads are essential at Easter. Second; Geoff the landlord of the Three Stags has lots of dogs of his own, including a small pack of beer drinking whippets, who 'rule the roost' inside the pub. If your dog is sociable, it's not a problem, if not, beware drunken whippet bitches, who can be a little territorial at times. There is a bus that runs from Buxton to Baslow and goes past the pub, and there is a railway station at Buxton. Getting there could be easier though; if you go to Buxton someone is likely to be passing and may offer a lift (me, for example.) Very best, Tim |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: John J Date: 15 Mar 07 - 11:46 AM Me, well yes, I'll be bringing my caravan + (poor) voice, (badly played) melodeon, fell-running shoes and walking boots. Can't play any tunes on them though...but they often hum. I'm pretty good at drinking beer and falling over. John |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: GUEST,Philippa Date: 15 Mar 07 - 08:15 AM are dogs welcome (at campsite and outside pub)? what's the nearest train station and bus transport? (no, I don't think I'll be going there this Easter, but I might as well get the info, esp. as this is looking like an annual event) |

|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Grab Date: 13 Mar 07 - 12:33 PM OK, I should be on for Thursday and Friday nights. Not sure what I'll be up to on Friday - probably walking somewhere if the weather's nice. Unless the forecast is stonking, in which case I'll bring my hang-glider along and get some hill hours in. Graham. PS. "Fossils lying on the surface" - we're back to the folkies and beer theme again, aren't we... ;-) |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 13 Mar 07 - 12:26 PM Other attractions not to be missed! Workshops: Fri/Sat/Sun nights (late) Finding your way back to the campsite in pitch black early hours of morning. Recommended equipt: reliable torch! Sat/Sun/Mon mornings - when you're bursting! Early morning dash to ensuite water closet Winner gets to use first! Recommended equipt: Bog roll, stool/chair to ease time spent in queue!

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 13 Mar 07 - 09:17 AM In addition to the staggering sights you may witness on the campsite etc, there are magnificent views of the surrounding landscape if you fancy a gentle stroll along the Monsal Dale [almost opposite the pub] up to Gibbet Rock. Also known as Peters stone. see here; http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4883/28/1600/gibetrock.jpg If you keep your eyes peeled along the way, there's many fossils to be found lying on the surface |

|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 12 Mar 07 - 07:33 AM Carol not sure about Thursday, if we can get there then, I'd love to, but it depends on other partly members finishing work etc.- so main gang'll prob be there Friday afternoon. maybe other folks will have landed by Thur & the campsite's open all year round - no need to book. As the pub: Three Stags Heads is only open on Bank Hols & weekends, it'd be best to check with Geoff the landlord first. The phone No. is 01298 872268 http://www.greatbeer.co.uk/derthst.htm |

Facilities include: Camping 1lb .50p per nite. Luvly food in 3 Stags + all day breakfasts in cafe opp pub. Campsite facilities include cold water tap!! Cold water washbasin!! & cold water WC - not to be missed!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: mandotim Date: 12 Mar 07 - 06:01 AM Without wishing to preempt Mr Happy; there's loads of room providing the sheep have been cleared off the field in time. It's cheap to camp, and cooking is is made largely unnecessary by the excellence of the pub food and the convenience of breakfast at the cafe opposite. Speaking of conveniences; there is a very basic loo on the camping field, and of course the cafe and pub have loos. I've never had to book; turn up and pay at the house (I think it's the one next-but-one to the camping field.) It's great fun, and there is usually some really good music to boot. Hope to see you there. (I'm the one with the wierd looking guitar and even wierder mandolin!) Tim |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Black Diamond Date: 12 Mar 07 - 04:23 AM Mr Happy would there be room for me and my husband to camp from Friday night to Sunday??? you make this weekend sound really great and we are tempted, but we are quite new to Mudcat and never done this before. do we have to book???? and are there any loos??????????

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: John J Date: 08 Mar 07 - 04:32 PM Not THAT hazy...I wasn't touching the 8% stuff! The smoke from the open fires was, er, interesting on the Saturday lunchtime, but had died down by the evening. There were however an awful lot of smokers in the pub on the Saturday evening. It was a good do none-the-less. Roll on July! I look forward to the weekend, hopefully bringing some friends too. John |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Grab Date: 08 Mar 07 - 01:17 PM Very very tempted. Only downside is that our band will likely be having a practise one day that weekend, and I'm not sure I can fit in 3 Stags *and* band *and* continuing married life! :-/ See how it goes anyway. If I do make it there, most likely it'll be up Thursday night and back Saturday morning. Graham. |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 08 Mar 07 - 10:42 AM 'Shame about the high levels of cigarette smoke' 'fraid your memory's a bit hazy on that John - not fag smoke - but almost opaque fumes from the two coal fires when the wind was blowing the wrong way. |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 09 Apr 06 - 06:13 AM Splendid news Tim! Its possible that in addition to musing, sining, drinking, & cavorting; there'll be opportunities for the more fit individuals to do some hiking [or rambling - depending on how much brew you had night before!], in the picturesque hills surrounding the campsite. Mrs Happy & fiends are keen on wearing their legs out most weekends, trogging uphill & down dale in all weathers, & she's bought a map of the area yeasterday. So if anyone feels the need of some self torture in this pursuit, feel free to join them. While these extra muriel activities are taking place, myself & the all sining & musing party will be carousing in the pub or on campsite if weather's fine - if not fine in Mr Happy's session tent[loitering within tent?] |
