Hi jolly campers

Forgot to mention that Greg and I went camping bank holiday weekend inbetween Portsmouth and Chichester.  We had a great time, weather fine, a bit windy, but nothing untoward.  the tent went up like a dream, what’s more we could just get up and have a ready made footy pitch.  Pity there was no floodlights though, once darkness set in, it was card games til late.

We were relativley prepared, tv, dishwasher, bathroom and bedroom. This is interpeted as Archos for tv,  Greg for dishwasher, bathroom - having a pee behind the car, and inflatable beds for cosy bedroom.

We visited the naval dockyard, lucky to see the Mary Rose as it is closing for two years in September 09 - moving to a new display, the Victory etc.  We had a saunter round Chichester and the Marina, the D Day museum at Portsmouth, but sadly no beach bumming, too breezy.

We managed hearty breakfasts and cooked our suppers without a hitch.  Our only incidents we had were checking sleeping bags for earwigs.

We are now ready for the Eiger summer 2010.  Well not exactly at the summit but in the foothills.

More recently the boys have started the season, we should get 16 registered U15s - whoo-hoo, the most ever, but results are required on the pitch, first game today and after leading 1-0, we suffered a 5-2 defeat.  Early days.[2] [3]
