dz.com uk mini boogie

Right, In abscence of Macca's thread about the boogie, here's one - just to get an idea of where people would like to go...
For me, preferably somewhere central(ish), that has a bar, and ideally a nice plane...

oh, I suppose accomodation would be a bonus...

Will

PS: I think these are the 4 most central dz's, but feel free to suggest others...

Never call it a mini boogie if dz.com is related with it, it might turn into something huge

well done for taking the initiative! I've not been to any on that list but have been meaning to check out Hinton so I vote there.

I'd vote Langar, but believe Hibble has a better party reputation, so should be included, it also has better planes.

sorry mate, just too slow .. you can sort out the dates then!

[batbex 0]

lol! Macca can't spell, it's hard not to take the piss - but you can try, don't want to give him a complex

In reality - if you're talking central Will, then Peterlee is pretty much equidistant from the northern tip of the UK to the Southern tip. Unless you say what you mean - central england - which is biased and narrowminded and uninclusive and not fair!

and Langar smells - the showers are a health hazard

Oh my God...I thought you were kidding until I actually saw that you started another thread about it! Was that really necessary?

Nethers, Nethers, Nethers! Can’t believe you missed it off! Cheap jumps, cheap bar and great facilities!

Vicki

[yoink 321]

Nethers is bloody MILES away! I reckon we'll get a better turn out if it's a little more northern...

[batbex 0]

hmm - maybe you should start a new poll - with more options - before Macca does!

and then you could do one for the dates

Matt! I'll just presume you're reading this thread - I can't answer you on the other one - I'm boycotting it! you're just being counterproductive

[Spike 0]

Its worth going the extra mile for....

I voted Hinton, 'cause Nethers wasn't one of the options, but I have been to all of those and I'd still say Nethers.

Cheap beer and bunkhouses within crawling distance.

[vt1977 0]

Er, not from those of us living down south! C’mon, Nethers is great… cheap jumps and cheaper bar! It’s only an hour from Weston and you included that as an option!

It's too late now - they've all gone to the dark side - and it's all your fault!

I'm putting a vote in for St. Andrews
and Nethers is bloody miles away! probably about 800miles

[nacmacfeegle 0]

Last time I was at Nethers Keith Skelly shouted at me and called me a Hippy...But that was ten years ago, dya think he still rembers me?

It will take me a day to get there, if you hold this thing that far south I'm not coming....boo ya!
