Outdoors Show – what an offer… I think!
Just checking some recent emails, I came across an offer for March’s Outdoor Show at Birmingham’s NEC that had me scratching my head.
The show’s newsletter emailed on February 8 (I know, I’m a bit slow reading some of my emails) makes the following generous offer: “Book 3 tickets for the price of 4…”.
Now I failed my maths O-Level first time around, but even I can spot that that’s a rum deal.
Thankfully, the show’s booking page has the right figures – four for the price of three, of course.
Undecided as to whether to head down there yet – and if the weather’s good that might clinch the deal.
Be interested to hear whether anyone’s planning to (illicitly) wild camp there for the weekend!

John,
I’ve chickened out and staying in a hotel (same for Mr Hee).
But I will be cooking using my brew kit, as I’ll be dammed if I’m paying £13 for a full english breakfast.
Don’t forget Outdoor Blogger Con 08 is on the Saturday followed by the Legalise Wild Camping Campaign Planning Meeting. So the alternative Outdoors Show is shaping up nicely

Like the sound of an Alternative Outdoor Show - but wouldn’t it be even more alternative if it were outdoor!?!?! There’s a patch of woodland right next to the NEC, which even has a herd of deer! Maybe someone could bring a picnic table…

I knew there was a reason they gave the OS map of Birmingham in the press pack last year.
Must get the grid ref off you. Could it be a possible wild camp spot?

Just Google earth the NEC- you can’t miss the woodland (though millions do) - it’s not big but it’s right next to the exhibition halls.

Book 3 tickets for the price of 4
Lolol! Wonderful
