I think some arrangements need making.

I've just bought a new tent and a stove for my beans, I'm going to try to live on beans and hot chocolate while I'm there.
But i don't want to take too much stuff, does anyone know if you can cook beans in the tin they are bought in? I've got a feeling you can't.... a little tin poisening never did anyone any harm, did it?

[CaptainEvilpants]

Your best bet would be to burn them over a gas stove, but without opening the tin first.

[lord.barrington]

yeah wait for the tin to explode,shrapnel everywhere.

John, aren't you getting there by mini bus? If so, and if Adam and I (I included Adam just incase he is also in the same prediciment as I) can't get the train, can we hop on the Bunnell Coach?

[Sheriff John Bunell]

I'm not too sure how many spare seats are on the bus, I'll have a word with Ryan though because it's his grandads minibus.

[the new kid]

well ONE of you had better have credit to get in touch with the happy mayle entourage on arrival.

The best plan is to cook them in the tin, dent it on two places on opposing sides (do not open the can) then heat it up turning it over and on its side a few times. When the dents pop out it is pretty much ready to eat BUT be very careful when opening the tin, scalding hot bean juice can be found cascading over everything in sight with it's napalm-like heat.

Point it in a safe direction and squeeze the tin opener at arms length, once the pressure has all been released you can open the tin as normal.

This is all common sense really.

OR you can just open the tin and use it like a pan to cook the contents in, but that's much slower than the "pressure cooker" method and sometimes depending on the stove or heat source the food heated can taste like shit.

haha, thanks for that.

I've got an army stove with parrafin wax fuel tablets, I think I shall take a small pot to cook in though, I've put a can of beans on a bonfire once... and it hurt.

I might take my phone... I'm not sure though because I don't want to have it in my pocket all the time and nor do I want to leave it in my tent.

I'm thinking of cutting a small hole in the gorundsheet of my tent and then underneath that hole dig a small space out of the mud / grass to keep valuables in.... like bog roll.

Oh and I've just read the back of the ticket, cos I'm boring, and it says no sound systems are allowed on the site, I think someone was saying something about taking a cd player in a different topic...

And fires are allowed [img]biggrin.gif[/img] . All it says on the back of the ticket is; "No.... large fires, flares, fireworks or burning of plastic"

And then at the bottom, in capital letters; "WARNING: EXESSIVE EXPOSURE TO LOUD MUSIC MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR HEARING" - best take my earplugs.
I've never seen that on the back of a ticket before, maybe I just don' usually read the back of tickets.
