[/quote]won't be there
Till 9 o'clock as at work will it still be going[quote]
I would certainly hope so but don't know how long the beer will last
We discussed weather or not to supply plastic glasses but agreed that they are rubbish and spoil a good pint so it might be a good idea to bring along your own beer glasses

Well, not exactly lost as I knew exactly where we are as I followed the map pasted on the site...to the middle of the Ingram valley...couldn't find the place despite asking the few folk who live up there, turning on a flight radio on the off chance & trying to ring people every time a blip of reception came on screen.
So me & Iain are back home hurgry

Came with a mate and bbq stuff and a pizza but it wasn't meant to be.
Had the same problem as Angus except I didn't have a clue where I was and didn't help the fact that it was pitch black. Didn't see a sole either to ask..
No signals either.
Got the postcode of the grid left on forum but couldn't find the place. Had pizza on the way back so not so hungry.
Better luck next year.

I did post the directions guys and even put signs up from the Alwinton road. Shame you didn't make it.

Yes that's the location but don't rely on Sat Navs to take you to a place that's in the boonies. I posted simple direct written instructions with sign posts even John Miller got there From what I can gather the sat nav has taken you in the right direction but it was at the other side of the valley you were probably only a mile away as the crow flies without a road.
One member who shall remain nameless didn't check the website for directions he thought Milkhope was the "Milkhope Center" near Ponteland. No! Yet he turned up at the right Milkhope about 23.00 hours
It's not the easiest place to find but it will be a lot easier next time if we do it all again sometime.
