Ah..... well now, that all depends if your going the whole nine yards and
cooking as well! Me? I'll use the pub for breakfast and evening meal.

Now that is NOT camping.

Go for it Andy brew up and do the bacon and eggs bit in the morning and
you'll feel much better for it. Anyway - I'm and OAP struggling on a
state pension :-)

I like the camp fire bit, but the midges will definitely be a problem.
In the same breath as camp fire I speak of BBQ - how about that then ?

As long as bbq or campfire is kept going it should reduce the midge problem
but a percentage always get through - just how bad are they up there?

A few bottles of brown ale will help to keep them off too - Should one drink
brown with bbq'd trout? Does anyone care?

Cheerio,

I've got no problems in having a barbecue if someone's prepared to bring one
along. The again, we could really 'rough it' and use a camp fire to cook our
catches on! Then again, based on our normal catch rates, we might be left
somewhat hungry! :-)

Brown ale? Tut tut...... A nice little Chardonnay surely!

Brown ale is high in vit b complex - which confuses the midges targetting
systems. The Methodist's used to issue it to their missionaries in
mosquito-infested climes - for external application only.

I find a couple of spoonsfull is enough to slap on but then there's the rest
of the bottle to deal with.

Oi! Messrs Lawson and Moody. You blokes are giving us southerners a bad
name and giving ammo to the northern and western crowd that we are a
bunch of softies! Barbecues and Brown Ale! Whatever next?
We're supposed to be going there to fish not take our deck chairs and
sit by the side of the lake sunning ourselves.
I dunno! What next? Take our wives and kids with us?
Yours,
Disgusted of Watlington
BTW I must be a reincarnated midge 'cos I hate Brown Ale too!

Midges are attracted to exhaled CO2. So hold your breath for a trouble
free evening:-)

We had a BBQ and they were a damn nuisance. I have a midge net to wear
over my broad brimmed hat and that did a good job of keeping them away.

Is it still likely to be Cwellyn, or is there a nicer venue we can
consider.

I'm still only in the considering stage.

Unless you know of or can suggest an alternative venue?
