Supersoakers in caves

It's coming up to that time of year again!

If you're reading this, then you're invited to the annual fannish supersoaker fight in Winspit quarry on the 9th of August.

This involves lots of water, a dry t-shirt to wear afterwards, a supersoaker, a towel (especially if you're a Hitchhikers fan), a picnic lunch, lots of laughs and running around in dark caves shooting at your friends.

The meeting starts at Wareham station in Dorset at 12 noon.  (This is so that those arriving by car can give lifts to those arriving by train)  We generally finish around 4pm, though that's a pretty rough guideline and depends entirely on how we all feel at the time and how wet people are!

Remember that sunny August weather leads to a long tail back of traffic in this part of the world.  Allow at least an extra half hour to what you think the journey will require by car, and also remember that trains don't get caught in the traffic jam...

Let me know you're coming so that you don't get left behind!  (last minute sign ups are fine, just so long as you let me know)

Bring a pack lunch, a supersoaker, a container(or two) to carry water, sensible shoes/boots (as the ground is uneven and rocky in the dark) and possibly a camera for the glorious scenery as you look out over the sea.

You're more than welcome to crash at our place afterwards, especially if you fancy some gaming.

Share and Enjoy! o

Sadly I'll be in Cropredy at the Fairport Convention festival, having a great time :-)

But I'll be thinking of you lot, cold wet and shivering as I bask in the Oxfordshire sunshine (big grin!)

have a great time!!

We will think of you, cold and shivering, as we dry out in the Dorset sunshine (bigger grin)

Have fun.

Looks like fun but Dorset is a long way to go to get soaked :-)

Already in my diary, assuming no emergencies of the equine variety.

Fab! Do you know if you'll be arriving by rail or road?
