HI!
Reddit camping is this Saturday!
If you want to come, you can still join up. Camping for the night costs £8. You can come along and pay on the day but you need to inform me that you plan on coming, as I have to make sure we have a big enough pitch. (You can message me via the number below)
We have around 22 people coming already.
What you will need
You need to bring a tent and sleeping bag or equivalent, as well as whatever food and drink you want for the night. There will be disposable barbecues available (as well as a camp fire) so anything you can cook on those would work well. If anyone wants to bring paper plates/cups and that sort of thing, I'm sure it will be appreciated.
Getting there
Debden House is located close to the appropriately named Debden station, which is on the Central Line and in Zone 6.
I will be aiming to arrive at the camp site by 14:15, so you can arrive at any point after that (their website says that they are open until 8pm on Saturdays); but the earlier you get there the more time you have to get drunk and have fun.
The site is approximately 1.6 miles (that's about 2.6 km in new money) from the station so it's a walkable distance. However, if you'd prefer to get a cab, there is a cab company based at the station. I will be arriving at Debden station at approximately 14:00, if you would like to meet me and share a minicab to the site that would be AWESOME (and it would make my life easier). Please inform me ASAP if you'd like to do this, so that I can book us a cab of appropriate size.
If you want to drive, please tell me ASAP.
Le_Chuck's contact details
My phone number is: 07 eight 91 five four 88 six three. Please give me a call when you're close to arriving so that I can come and meet you.
If you have a gazebo or something similar that you're willing to bring along please get in touch with me: everyone will love you dearly
I'm here, along with the first group. Please call me when you get here and I'll come collect you. If you can't reach me, say you're from Steve Woolnough's group
Also, if you haven't left yet, Been had requested marshmallows.
Back in 2011, LSC went on a camping trip to Debden House. It was awesome.
Several people have expressed an interest in doing it again. I think sticking with Debden house is the way to go because they were amazing to deal with last time, and very accommodating of a large group of drunk adults. They also have fire fields, which means camp fires (though I'm not sure if they give out free wood any more). And it'll be £8 a person for the night, which is pretty reasonable.
So, there are two things I need from YOU to get started organising: a rough idea of numbers and dates. If you're interested, please go and respond to this doodle poll with the dates you're available. I have a feeling early September may be the best time to go again because all the children go back to school, but, I'll try and sort it whenever it suits the most people.
If you have questions/suggestions/whatever please don't hesitate to post them.
CAMPING!
- Date: 12th September
- Location: Debden house, right by Epping forest (with access to the forest from the campsite), Zone 6, so you can use your Oyster card
- Cost: £8 (Plus, food, drink and maybe pitching in for some firewood, but last time they just gave it to us for free)
- You will need: a tent, a sleeping bag (or something to keep your warm), food and drink for the night
We’re there for just one night, which means you don’t have to worry about dealing with campsite showers, just a slightly hungover tube ride home in the morning. We’ll be on a firefield, which means we can have our very own campfire that we’ll probably end up putting too much wood onto, if last time is anything to go by (but we didn’t actually burn the gazebo down).
Speaking of, if you have access to a gazebo or something similar, and are happy to bring it, that would be awesome! Please tell me so that I can organise stuff.
Getting there is pretty easy: it’s not too far from Debden station, and there is a mini-cab company whose office the station building which works out pretty cheap if you group up with other people. There is also a bus that runs from the station to near the camp site. If you want to drive, please tell me so I can get that sorted (£3 extra)
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. If you’re new, you’re absolutely welcome to join us, we’re very nice and welcoming. I’ll make another post nearer the time with even more details.
Right, this is the important bit you need to read:
They’ve changed the way they do bookings, so I need to get you to confirm and pay (just the £8 unless you know you want to bring a car/whatever already) by Tuesday the 18th at the latest (seriously, I’m out of the country after that, and I won’t be able to finalise it). I’m pretty busy at the moment, so can’t promise I’ll be at many events over the next week, however two awesome LSC people are helping me out:
/u/benclifford (Ben) /u/SuperEffectiveRawr (Lynsey)
You can pay either of them and they’ll take your name and pass both along to me! (Alternatively, if you know me well and would prefer to do a bank transfer, message me on facebook or via phone and I can give you bank details)

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
