Anyone for camping? Updates in first post.

A few years back (2008) I put up a quiet little post asking  if anyone fancied coming to Dent for a weeekend of camping, green laning and general socialising. The village is just about the prettiest in the dales http://www.gwoa.co.uk/node/4123 Not sure if the pictures will come back as it's from the old forum. Here's a link to Peter Perfects video http://web.mac.com/ianwatson158/G_Wizzer/Movie_2.html and Spider1V very flattering article in Gwizz (magnanimous in defeat;) http://gwoa.co.uk/sites/default/files/Yorkshire%202008.pdf Well one thing led to another and we ended up with about 14 G wagens.It was a fantastic event . So..................is there any interest in a  rerun/reunion? 17th - 19th February Thought also that this would  also serve as a warm up for a trip to Morocco too:) For those who came last time then pretty much the same except we will be based in the village of Dent, not at my previous address. For the newcomers:- turn up on Friday the 17th Feb (sooner if you like but I might be working) I live in the centre of the village, opposite the Sun Inn and spitting distance from the George And Dragon. Open house here -there will be food here of some sorts, a casserole or similar( did goat taggine last time and nobody got ill)  and a barrel of beer from the local brewery though I warn you I probably have the smallest house in the village so you might have to overflow into the pub - just expect to be flexible. Saturday - breakfast ( bacon and egg butties) for those who want here. ( I might see if we can all get in at one of the cafes together) if we can try to get ready to leave by 10.30 we can have a gentle ride out over the hills to Hawes, home of wensleydale cheese (steady on grommit) and on to Semmerwater, home of Hannah Hauxwell, some may remember the TV series This is a nice first introduction to Yorkshires green lanes. Just a few miles and a few photo opportunities and on to the lake for a picnic lunch - soup and hot drinks - and anything else I can come up with. After lunch then we can go up onto the top of the hills and the offroad virgins can try out 4wd - There is a moderately challenging section which can be bypassed or assisted by gravity for the careful/conservative ( and, if the river is up some deep water for Mark and Spyder) or embrace the   uphill for the bold. If you're not sure then hitch a ride with someone first. Nothing that you can't do if you want to though and no shortage of advice. Depending on time we might stop for tea on the summit (weather permiting). This should finish the afternoon nicely and back to Dent. There will be an evening meal either in one of the restaurants or village pubs and general G Wagen talk unless anyone has something more interesting???? I will introduce the idea or a GWOA trip to Morocco and if there's enough interest a small talk. After that then I think we should all adjourn to the pub to watch the locals. Sunday morning is to be decided but I will work on it, last time some went back around the green lanes and a few went caving  - we have some of the best potholes in the country. There are many walks around the village and a few craft shops etc More to come!!!! The green laning is suitable for everyone except for one 1/4 mile bit which you can bypass- some pictures here that make it look worse than it is. Link fixed I hope I'll sort out a list of accomodation this evening - I'd ask you not to book for a couple of days just so we can get everybody close together around the village - sure you don't want to drive 5 miles up the valley after refreshments in the pub. And i stress again that this is a family event, not just a blokes p***up. Don't need definate commitments, just say if you're interested.
