Calling all Northern monkeys

Sat Jun 16, 2012 11:44 pm

Evening y'all,

By my count there's at least 6 of us in the Yorkshire area. Anyone up for putting a date in the diary for a weekend of flying? Up for suggestions as to where but was thinking along the coast, possibly Filey. Great beach that is always pretty empty and a good campsite about 10 minutes walk away. BBQ in the evening, some drinks and lots of fresh air.

That's the weekend I was thinking.

Simon and I have had a quick look at campsites online. How about the one at Filey Brigg up on the North Cliff. Looks ok, with great views, set in a 9 acre country park and apparently a 10 min walk down to the beach. It's called Filey Brigg Camping and Caravan site and postcode is YO14 9ET. I can call them to check availability.

Definately arriving Saturday morning for me (the rains coming down like a waterfall here in Leeds). Surprisingly tomorrow looks ok, sunshine @ 17degrees and 8 - 10 mph winds!. Sunday looks a bit iffy though.

Just gotta hope that the campsite isn't flooded though from yesterday and today:(
