Hi
Is anyone on here going? I was wondering if anyone knew of any campsites nearby for the saturday night? id love to bring Mrs T over to meet some other DH's but its quite a way for us for the day
Thanks
Claire

It's a bit too far for us Scots, but for those who can't make Lodge Park, we're running at Sue's on Sunday.

Is this the big deerhound event where everyone dresses up in period costume? Ha! Only in Britain you say? Everybody bring your cameras puleeese, this is too good to pass up!

Lodge Park is, yes. It's jeans and fleeces as usual at Sue's!

We'll all be at Lodge Park, dressed up like a bunch of idiots. I'll try and take some photos so you can all point and laugh.

.....but we (the dogs and us) would rather be chez Rose in Rumbling Bridge

And we would rather you were there as well. However, Lodge Park will also be fun.

Chris and I will be at Lodge Park. It will be my first time and I am really looking forward to it
I even have a costume...the dress is a bit long, so worried that i am going to trip over it....might wear leggings underneath, just to be on the safe side...would hate to go flying and flash the undies!! The hat is a bit perculiar, so i should look a treat

Considering Elsie Grey is convinced that any plastic bag has sandwiches in, she should run like the clappers!!

I can't wait to meet Mrs.T, so glad you are bringing her

Looking forward to seeing you all there & just wondering if there will be any Knights in Shining Armour!!

We would have loved to come to this as its not far from where we used to live but we have too much on this weekend sadly

It will be very interesting to see Mrs T against other DH's maybee we can suss out for sure if she is pure DH - i think she is but with very little history, we arnt certain

Does anyone know of any campsites nearby? its over 150 miles each way for us, so i think we need to stay over saturday to make it worthwile

Oh and ill be the one with Mrs T (with bthe scruffy coat thats still growing back!) 1 blonde & 1 grey beddie whippet, and an elderly collie

I will try not to say awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww too much and scritch too many ears hahahaa - altho i may not be able to help myself

I expect it is much the same for kerry and me it might be nearer 175 each way but we do it in a day. I just will not drink never mind it is still good fun. See you all Sunday.

I don't know of any camp sites, but you can get some cheap deals at Travel Lodge and Holiday Inn Express, and they allow dogs. We got a good deal at the Holiday Inn near Gloucester. It's about half an hour from Lodge Park, but that's certainly better than us having to leave home at 6am!

I hope you all have a wonderful day whether at Lodge Park or Rumbling Bridge. Don't forget those cameras

Hope everyone has a good day at Lodge Park. I went a couple of years ago and had a great time. It's a long day for me to get there now and Ben probably wouldn't run in a muzzle anyway. He'd hate the long journey and as I don't have anyone to stay home with him I feel that it's too long to leave him on his own.

Looking forward to your pics.

Have a great time all! Hope the weather stays lovely and sunny for the day

You know how we live in Glasgow. Well believe it or not my sister's wedding reception was at Lodge Park. She met her husband, whose family live in the Costwolds, at St Andrews Uni.

This was LONG before we had deerhounds. Small, small world and a lovely venue.

...and I used to go to school in St Andrews.


What time is everyone arriving tomorrow? What do we need to do / bring etc?

Hope everyone has a fab day, of course living near Lodge Park I am double booked and actually heading to Lincs for the day - also Bricey will be 5 tomorrow so I guess I know where he would rather be!

Best of luck and wishes for everyone going to both venues.

Have fun everyone and don't forget to take your cameras!

OK, you've kept us in suspense long enough! Who went, who won and was it fun?
