*OPEN INVITATION TO THE GREAT ARTHURIAN GRANSNET PARTY*

Ready, steady, hold tight!!!!!!!!! One of these days I must learn how to fly this thing. Let's party whey hey.............

I've just treated the old broomstick with WD40 and the creaks and groans have gone - well, apart from mine.

Thanks, whitewave. Superglue and raw liver worked a treat. ETA 19.53 if I don't have to slow down again to stop the bottles falling off!

I've arranged for a bosons chair at Tintagel for Newist
All we need is a few hefty muscular grans to pull on the ope!

Seem to have spent too long in Torbay - I seem to have dozed off - must have been the brandy.Will need to get a move on.

Dartmouth coming up - I might drop in and get an outboard motor - truth to tell I am getting a bit knackered.

At the moment ETA is midnight so will have to think of something.

Right outboard fitted so whizzing along - this is much better - also got some port and starboard lighting as I think I may well arrive after dark.

Just passing Plymouth sound - Cornwall here we come yippee!!

A very strange occurrence! Is this party being infiltrated and de-railed I wonder! I just posted apologies for missing my lift and failing to train the doodle dogs in their flying skills - the reason being that our wonderful daughter had her first baby on Friday. Things have been a bit emotional here because it was a planned section resulting from concerns about her precious baby's growth. He was delivered safely, is a tiny bundle of complete joy - so even a virtual party is a bit beyond me today. Have a great time

Where is to tangle please what a great name by the way,hope it's close by and is this a real party or just one of those virtual ones ,no matter I'll be their if it's close enough lol lol,by land sea or broomstick.lol ����

biker, I'm worried about you. What have you been consuming? It can't have been vodka jellies cos I'm not there yet. Is there by any chance a shoal of jellyfish washed up on the beach? I will bring a portable stomach pump. Have also got hold of a cosignment of cut price sheewees - hopefully not too cut price.

Iam64 what wonderful news! Congratulations!

Virtual bedlam descending (literally) on Tintagel, broomsticks, flying carpets, surfboards and over-excited Dragons-the (car) parking trolls are struggling!

whitewave's keeping the coastguard on their toes but Lands End lighthouse have turned up their light so she should be visible to all seagoing traffic.

Tenapad's lorry's got lost so legs crossed it arrives before the hilarity gets too much. It was last seen in Piddlehinton then Piddletrenhide .....that's ruddy miles away!

Sorry I was invisible when I found you in Oxford, Boheminan but you coped very well with the fright I must have given you. Just can't get the hang of this invisibility spell. Can't get the hang of navigating either. Has your Bat Nav any idea where we are (and please tell it to stop tickling my leg).

I have just paddled past 2 rocks called the sisters so the end is in sight, It is too late for the Tenas, I am decidedly damp, my arms keep going like windmills. I was so keen to get here I haven't got anything dry to wear, hope there is a fire to get dried out and catch my breath

What invisibility spell Wheniwasyourage?. I met a gibbering gargoyle outside the Randolph that I presumed was you. The Bat Nav flew off when we passed over Buckingham Palace, so I have no idea who's tickling your leg. Hold tight - Oh look, there's Balmoral Castle....

Balmoral, eh? Taking the scenic route I see!

I made the wrong decision to surf to Tintagel, it is taking much longer than I thought.
Thanks for the light at Lands End it was really dodgy going past Falmouth Harbour, first I had to dodge some rather large tankers and then some sightseeing lunatics who thought they were photographing a whale. I was not best pleased.

Oh! who was the dog/dragon supposed to be picking up only I have just discovered that after he left me he veered off to Studland and has been enjoying himself singeing the nudists. He really is out of control.

Nearly at St Ives - the surf is better here on the North Coast so hopefully I will be able to arrive on time.

On my way with refreshments in refrigerated boxes. Blue box contains vodka jellies; white box contains vodka martini lollies; green box contains toffee vodka lollies. Don't eat them all at once or we may have to organise a dormitory. z z z z z z z z z Any teetotallers (unlikely)? There are some chocolate lollies in a red box. Zooooooooom, sonic boooooooom, here I come.

Balmoral!
Better fire up your turbochargers or give the dragon-thrust a good kick up the whotsit

newist the cauldrons are bubbling so plenty of hot water - I'll hold off adding the toads eyes and newt legs until you're warm and dry. There's a fetching quilted cape to wear (I'm sure Merlin won't mind youpinching borrowing it)

Having a smooth flight so far but air traffic control seem to think I'm a UFO, silly people. Armed with haggis, whiskey, clooty dumpling. Hunks + two fresh kilts and thongs. Could you prepare the landing lights as I'm not too sure where Tintagel actually is. Could be rough landing.
I'm so excited, can't wait to meet you all.

Makes a change from him being singed!
Better get him back on track, he's needed to light the BBQ !

Wow! That flying lesson a few weeks ago has certainly paid off. Is that the Eiffel Tower down there?

I love quilted cloaks, thanks, Will underwear be needed, ?

nannieroz and I got here a while ago and we have lit a huge bonfire to guide in all forms of transport, dry any damp clothes and generally set a welcoming scene for everyone.

Has anyone else brought a musical instrument? I've got my uilleann pipes and thought we could maybe have a GN Arthurian orchestra? If not I shall just sit and make a start on my SPECIAL muffins to get in the mood. Anyone like to try one?

Do you mean Special as in SPECIAL enhanced Muffins, if yes then oh Yes please

Anyone bringing any Gin only I really could do with one. I can't feel my feet or hands, and my nose is bright red.

newist you had just as well go on ahead as you are going to get there before me.

Newquay looks nice from the sea, and the surf looks beautiful rolling onto the beaches.

Stupid megadragon's just cinderised a troll's golf cart, trying to light the troll's headlights.......

annodomini did you miss the flight chart reading tutorial? Concordia's not very happy with you, I'll pour her another quart of mead, that should do the trick.

Thistledoo the pyre will be lit shortly if I can find the right/dry matches dragon, it's starting to drizzle here and the dragons are sulking under the ramparts (ram's not too cheerful, he's seen the spit)
