 thanks julie

Used to do Old Dungeon Ghyll most years, & pop into the Stickle Barn for a couple at some point. Normally a pretty good atmosphere, though the last couple of times (about 5 years ago I guess) were a bit quieter in the ODG.

Never had to book the campsite, though can get a bit tight for space, & that too has on occasion been pretty lively. Seem to remember various explosions & tents burning down all over the campsite as people got back after a couple or ten & attempted to make tea whilst a little tired & emotional.

We were corralled into a small area in the middle of the fields because of the severe weather warning.  The pubs were busy but not too busy

It was a lively night.
