Tugger Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I hope to make my annual pilgrimage to Kent this summer, but my co-beer drinker doesn't think he can get time off, thus leaving me a billy no mates. Rather than being the sad sack on my own if this is the case, would any one mind someone parking a funny looking Land Rover & pitching a tent on the end of their group and possibly engaging me in conversation every now and then... even if only to ask if it's still raining. I'm not a loon and I supply my own beer. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapper Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I would hope there is room at the HMVF compound. I'm planning to grab a bit of it myself...(one tent and one MUTT + one snapper and two yoofs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markheliops Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Hi Tugger - I have sort of unofficially adopted a HMVF plot for this years Beltring - It's my usual place opposite the helicopter and Lee - Your most welcome to pitch your tent and Landie - I think so far the people occupying the said area are - Myself with Ward la France / FV432 / Champ / Brockhouse "love" trailer / Ben Hur / Chris and his Champ Snapper and his Mutt Tootallmike and Vince with Ward la France / CVRT / Halftrack possibly David and his Ferret. My friend Hans from Germany with his Gamma Goat. Area is open to all - space permitting - and we have no vehicle / camping preferences - come as you are, etc, etc. Markheliops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtistsRifles Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 And for those around on the Sat night - head over to the AMVG area (right next door to Lee's) with plates and diggers as we've conned - sorry - persuaded the missus to bake her apple pies that night!! Those lucky enough to partake at the Bunker will vouch for them - especially those who had thirds!!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
