Guys, I may end up having to pull out.

The chest infection I thought I was getting over is on it's way back.
This evening while driving home (middle of 3 lanes), I got what can only be described as pins and needles in the head. Then suddenly everything went dark. All I could make out was a blur where my speedo / rev counter are. Everything else vanished. The road, the cars around me, my bonnet etc. All gone. After a few seconds of total darkness and disorientation (All I could think was "keep wheel straight, it was a straight road before" Neutral

), everything came back to normal(ish) except a fuzzy head.

Anyway, long story short, off to hospital, lung still badly infected, told to take it easy for a while and keep warm and yet more meds (3rd lot, 5th visit to doctor).

I'll play it by ear and see how things are on Sat / Sun. I would like to, at worst, come for one day (It's warm in the LC isn't it? Wink

)

I'll see how things go between now and Sat. Sad

Take it easy Crispin, as said before your health is much more important. Let me know if you need anything!

Ok, four pitches have been booked for sat night, we can always get more if needed.
If you want to drop off camping gear on the sat morning that is cool if you do it about 9am.

Possible crisis...........................
My mate that was coming along with the huge bbq has pulled out. I may be able to pick up bbq but not sure.
Does anyone have one to bring along?

Ok then people, all the best laid plans and all that Crying or Very sad

Who is left? I think it was only blobrob?
Maybe we should reschedule the camping portion......?
Just found out that mate with bbq can't bring it over tomorrow so then i'll have a chance to make a proper big one.

How about this as a suggestion...........

Offroading on the sunday but with a proper cooking session, i have some SA meat, i know Bigyun is bringing a cooker too as well as me and maybe Crispin can still attend as it will be a bit warmer during the day.

Tried to PM every one concerned, hopefully they will all get it.
I think blobrob is the main one to contact as he was a defo for camping.
