Well, it's been two/three days, i apologise.
But it can all be explained.. :)

Okay, wednesday morning, i get woken up by about 3/4 phonecalls, at separate times, by separate people. Each asking/ telling different things. The last one is from scott, to say he and Kacie are outside my house, and for me to let him in.
I let them in, and they say, "we're going camping today, we need to book a place". So i go on to my computer, and i google camping places in the UK, narrow the search down a little, and then we find this place, Hopleys Family Camping, in Bewdley. It seemed like a nice place, so we booked a place, and knew we had to be there by 6pm.
So we phoned round, got some people together, and decided to be back at my house for 4pm.
It is about 3pm at this point. So i go to mikes, pick him up, and go to Ikea, where he needed to buy some stuff for Uni.
We get there, and he says, oh, i don't have my list.. :/
I was like, oh.
He was like, we'll have to go back and get it. So we drive back, in a rush, get to his house to get the list. He notices he hasn't got any house key on him.
There wasn't anybody home.
So now, we're sitting there waiting for someone to come home, which was hilarious because at this point it was about 3:35.
His neighbour comes home, she gives him a key, and he packs his stuff together. We then rush to tesco, where he was able to find everything he needed there.
We met scott, kacie and tom there as well.
We all bought food for camping, and beer, two 12 crates for £16, so it was 24 beers.
We then got back to mine, I packed essentials together, and we set off.
With it being about 5 oclock now, the journey there is about 1hr20minutes.
We get the TomTom on, and set off as fast as we can.
We hit the motorways, and it's like 50mph zones, and traffic, with it being about 5:30, busiest time of the day!.
It gets to about 5:50, we phone saying we're really sorry, and we're going to be a little late.

Eventuallly we get there.
Find the guy, and find a spot where we wanted to camp.
The place has about two fields, one higher one, and it then goes down hill to another small one. One section had about 4 tipis, that was the higher one, and then the other one, by the river and a fishing lake, is where we camped. The line of the trees is straight, and it drops back for about 100 metres, where the point it dropped back, we pitched our massive tent up, inline with the outer bit of treeline, so we had this section where the trees drop back to ourselves.
Also, there was nobody else camping in this area, so that meant we could make as much noise as we could!
We spent that day drinking a hell of a lot of beer, and having a great time! We chilled, told stories, the usual cliche camping stuff, but because we're awesome, obviously we had a better time.
It got to night, we had been chilling all day, and it was sick!
It then was about 12am, and scott kacie and tom wanted to go to bed, so they did.
Oh, yeah, we had a fire, going from about 8pm. We rented this small, about 60cm square metal basin, about a foot off the floor, and a few bags of wood. We managed to get a great fire on the go.
So at this point, it was only me and Mike awake, drunk.
We were shitting ourselves though because we were by a pretty big wooded area, and there was a massive fishing lake, so with there only being two of us, at about 2am, and pitch black night, even though the moon was pretty full so it was kind of light from that, we were scared haha.
At one point, we heard some rustling, and Mike asked if i could hear it. I could.
We shone the torch over to the tent, we were sitting about 10/20 metres away from it, and we saw a rat jump out of it! and it had one of my pasties in it's mouth! it looked at us, and just ran off.
We were laughing so hard, there were people asleep in the tent, and there was a rat in there too!.
Anyway, we looked out for it again, and it came over to the tent, jumped up, got in, and came out again, with another one of my pasties!
At this point, it was terrible of us to let it happen, but it was hilarious.
It came back again! but this time we scared it off. it still tried to come back though.
Anyway, we went to bed at around 4, got in to the tent, and talked for a bit. Eventually everyone woke up, and we all went to the toilet, at like 4:30, which was fun.
We came back, and got to go to sleep again, but at this point, we had zipped up the tent and everything, and we were concerned to what could be in the tent.
We all stood up, and saw a dark figure of a rat in the tent still! We scared it, and it jumped up the side of the tent, to try and get out, it jumped about 1 or two feet in the air! it was horrible haha, then it ran to the other side of the tent and back, and then it disappeared.
We looked around, and turns out the zip, which is tiny, where you put electrical wires out of was where he got in to.
Anyway, we werent convinced he had gone, so someone had to go look, it ended up being Kacie, all us guys were too scared haha.
So we got back to sleep, and it was okay for the night.

In the morning, being Thursday, we got up, and went to have breakfast, at a cafe that was next to the reception. £5 for a full english breakfast, it was excellent! After that we went and got our stuff, and set off in to the town centre, of Bewdley.
It was a long walk, about 20 minutes, but it was all down hill so it wasnt too bad. We got there, and it was reallly small, but pretty nice.
Kind of place that had different coloured doors everywhere, like balamory, and where everyone knew everyone else. But it was cute.
We went in to a few shops, and then found this Bewdley museum, which was a small museum, about the war, and the area, it was free, and pretty sick! we stopped off and had ice cream there.
We then walked round some more, down to the river, and chilled there for a bit. On the way back, we found this charity shop, which had some pretty sweet stuff. We found these shirts, like, proper good shirts, and me, Mike and Tom found one each, they were about £5, and they were sick!
Shirts that would usually have been about £30!
They were then known as our BEWDLEY 2011 SHIRTS!.
We were instantly sick.

We walked back, which was so much effort because it was all uphill! But we eventually got back and chilled out a lot, with beer, of course!.
We chilled for a bit, dossed around, and awaited the arrival of other people.
Eventually, at about 6/7 oclock Ronak, Jason, Miles and Ellyse arrived, Ronak drove.
I loved it that they came, it was perfect.
With everyone there, we made the most of it, partied hard, and had the best time ever!
When everyone was drunk enough, we took them to Jupiter.
I'm pretty sure i briefly introduced you to Jupiter the other day.
Anyway, they Loved jupiter, a lot! it's such a moving story that we had created, and each person that "takes people to jupiter" does it in their own way, telling the same story, but i dunno, you get it.
So yeah, it really touched some of us, and I just loved it, it couldnt have gone down any better.
We then chilled for the remainder of the night, and went to bed fairly late, about 3/4 again.

In the morning of Friday, we went for breakfast, it was sick.
We then chilled for a long time, and played a great session of frisbee. We all were playing, and it was one of the only times in a long time that we'd all together done something like that.
We chilled for a bit longer, but we knew we had to get the tent packed away, that was a lot of effort, but we did it eventually.
We got it all done, and chilled for some more time, together, for the last time really :/. It was sad, in the night before, we all like, said our goodbyes really, hugged everyone, which was hard, some really amazing people in my life, having to know we're not really going to see eachother a lot from now on.
It's even making me pretty upset typing this.

We drove off from Bewdley, and got back on to the motorway.
Me, Mike and Tom were in my car. We listened to the radio, loud.
At one point, this short story was being read, it was so excellent, we all were so in to it, and it turned out to be a great story!
We got home, dropped Mike off, and then Tom left.
At this point, i was dirty, and tired!.

I showered, and chilled on my own for abit.
We then organised a meal at Taybarns, i know, it's not classy, but it's cheap and we're students, okay!
Me, Mike, Scott, Kacie and Jason. It was good fun, a nice last meal.
Mike, Scott and Jason came back to mine, after we went to tesco and bought a film to watch.
We watched the film, "Old School", scott had never seen it, so we HAD to get it. He enjoyed it.

This brings us to Today.
I got up, about 1:30, and literally like did nothing.
Went out and bought some petrol, and chilled for a long time.
Watched a film, "Terri". It was actually pretty good!.
it has John C. Reilly in, and this kid. It's a pretty slow film, intentionally, like Napoleon Dynamite. It enjoyed it a lot.
I recommend it. Watch it here: http://www.movie2k.to/Terri-watch-movie-856923.html
I don't think it's out yet, so yeah, i don't know what else to say about it, i'm pretty tired, otherwise i would explain it more.
Then I went to pick Tom up at 11, and we went to the cinema. Watched "30 Minutes or less". It's so good! Comedy, with Jesse Eisenberg, and the guy from Human Giant, it was better than i expected, and i expected a lot from it. Like, proper action comedy, fast paced, well worth the watch!.
We then came home, had a few beers, and played poker! Hadn't played in a long time, but it was sick. We played 10 rounds, used monopoly money as our chips. I won, got all his money, haha.
We came upstairs, chilled with Adan and Amy.

Bringing me to now.
Oh, it's taken me nearly an hour, about 45 minutes to write this.
Appreciate it!

The shirt I'm wearing is my BEWDLEY'11 shirt by the way.
The shirts were totally like, matching what we'd usually buy, like, they were made for us!

Anywayy, longbooth :)

Until tomorrow...:)Xxx
