We have been for quite a few years but my children aren’t really into it. I have a love/hate thing with it too. The eldest actually went to bed early last year while I was still up, something they never do at home. I plan on spending the money on a family holiday at Centerparcs instead, though I might also do the EO Leics camp and the Cumbria (family orientated) one I might try. Am looking for info on Mudpud camp but I have four children of different ages so might mean the older two wouldn’t fit in and then it’d be hell for me!!!

Nope, not my site. Last year he had broken images all over the place, which I attempted to assist him with, but given that he could see them (well he would, the links were pointed to the images on his own machine) he denied that there was anything wrong with it, and was all round rude.

Guessing you won’t let me on camp committee Merry, given my resolution to say no but willing to help in any way I can fit in as usual.

Up about a hundred quid if the six of us went - was £157 last year I think (including hook-up), and would be £262 this year - blimey! Would have to leave C at home at least That does include one child going up from cheap kid to dear kid and one child going from free to cheap kid though. But it’s a lot, and I think we would rather spend the money doing something else.

I wasnt going to say anything about the website because I wasnt sure if Jax was hosting it…something about the way you wrote the post Jax.

I clicked through just to find out what HESFES might be [damned acronyms!] and was a little shocked at the, ahem, design and implementation. You say this is better than last years? Woah. Must have been bad.

Have done HESFES once but wouldn’t really want to do it again until maybe Becca is (much) bigger and able to go off on her own whilst I catch up on all the sleep I didn’t get during the night…..

Merry, I have to go to a wedding on the 25th of June so if that’s the start date can someone pick me a nice pitch to stagger onto next day????

It seems a lot more expensive this year as well, I thought.
