I'm in, last years place was excellant

[JamieFRST]

Might be in, depends where it is really.

[Minstral]

depends where and when
was good though last year i think theres another one in that area as well wayne

[Tweek]

I posted up when

There's one fairly close but it's in a Safari Park. There's another a bit further south in Bracknell which would be nice to try and closer to the southern people but if any northerners want to come ie Iain then it's a uber trek.

[jonyb4]

hmm a maybe from me, funds permit

[:: blade ::]

ill be in if its no further and aylesbury

[hb69]

Maybe from me. Missed out last time and cant remember why

[hb69]

So... Wendover again or Bracknell?

Where is nearest to me. Thats the one i want to go to

[Minstral]

think bracknell is closer henry, i would vote for bracknell though as it will be different to all of us that did it last year

[Tweek]

20 miles difference between the 2 from yours

[Tweek]

Details & Differences between the 2:

Wendover
Highest point: Site 5 Zip Wire Platform 11.5m
Longest Zip Wire: Site 4 Zip Wire 140m
Longest crossing: Rail Tracks (site 5) 20m
Total length of all crossings: 685m
Number of crossings: 39
Number of sections: 5

Swinley Forest
Highest point: Top of Apple Pickers Ladder (site 4) 12.5m
Longest Zip Wire: Site 2 Zip Wire 160m
Longest crossing: Rope Passage (site 4) 12.5m
Total length of all crossings: 704m
Number of crossings: 35
Number of sites: 5


So I think Swinley wins biggest height, longest zip wire and overall length

[hb69]

Either then is fine with me

[Minstral]

bracknell looks good, higher as well

[hb69]

Higher is better

[Tweek]

Swinley Forest on Sunday 21st Feb?

[Turboboy67]

Swinley Forest on Sunday 21st Feb?

Sounds good to me

Anybody else up for staying the night before locally for a few sherberts and a bite to eat ?

Edit; I've found the local Holiday Inn doing rooms for £42 inc. breakfast. Thats for a room on your own, if you want to share then it would be cheaper no doubt.

Double edit, Family room, £35 for the room and it sleeps upto 4 people !! if your really on a budget

[Tweek]

Lol it's not that far or late really so I'll probably just go for the Apeness and something to eat.

[trecoll]

There's another a bit further south in Bracknell

Im In, wherever and whenever, just text me or summat though Tweek as I keep forgetting to check in here...


Bracknell sounds a good choice
