2 litre bottles needed
Please can everyone collect 2 litre cylindrical coke, lemonade, cider etc bottles for our raft.
We need 300 bottles to hold the weight of 4 people.
Please could you bring them along to the harp and crown each Wednesday.
The raft is to be built by the end of July so we need them asap
Thanks

Re: 2 litre bottles needed
Why dont you just get a 600ltr barrel,save a lot of hassle trying to tie and glue them together :)
-
Re: 2 litre bottles needed
The 25ltr barrels would be better, spread the weight and easier to deal with and obtain.
This size is used for chemicals for car washes etc, oil for chip shops etc so should be able to blag a few easily.
But then, is 2ltr bottles part of the rules?

Re: 2 litre bottles needed
It's part of our extremely cunning plan ;)
If everyone in the club could just collect a few bottles each, we should have no trouble getting enough. I've already got a bag full from my neighbours, so get asking (or drinking!)

Re: 2 litre bottles needed
Got 5 or so lying about myh flat will bring them up in the next couple of weeks :)

At 150kg a person maybe you need a smaller crew :-)

Why the end of July? Hope you're not thinking of testing it before the race as that's against the rules ::)
On a completely different note, the canal at Bathampton is very quiet and has good acess.......... ;)

Re: 2 litre bottles needed
we have quite a few bottles of coke and lemonade for cornwall so you can grab those once they get emptied (assumin ryan and mark dont try and burn them first :P)

No [smiley=engel017.gif] it's because I can't help with the construction of our water going vessel in August! :o you mean some people actually break the rules and test their rafts before hand ::) that's just not cricket ;D

If we don't get enough bottles we could use SF as our floatation aid :P

Ooh don't lose too much we're relying on you as ballast!

Re: 2 litre bottles needed
Ouch guys! ;D
oooh, you need a thick skin round here - no room for anyone who can't take a joke eh! lol
And yeah, my skin needs to be thicker than anyone elses! :D
So what's the plan then? Put me in the water face down, and you all paddle me downstream? We could make a bigger team then....

Re: 2 litre bottles needed
Floating you isn't the issue.... it's working out where to put the handles so they can carry you to the water!!!! :o
-
Re: 2 litre bottles needed
You could never get away with this kind of stick to a woman! lol
Not unless you can run fast (which I can't!)
-
Re: 2 litre bottles needed
We won't put you face down, you'll drown!
And you can give this sort of stick to women, you just have to chose your victim very wisely! ;D

Re: 2 litre bottles needed
Hmmm... 1478 members...
WILTSHIRE BIKERS CIDER DAY
Everybody welcome, meet in Trowbridge park with at least two 2litre bottles of cheap cider, we will start drinking there before weaving our way through town to Bargain Booze for refreshments / pastys / roadkill bellychurn sandwiches / half-abled theft & owner abuse before a quick kip on the benches and the final crawl to Longfield estate.
I reckon this to give us enough bottles to build a frickin' Ark, never mind a boat! We can stick a motor in it Scrapyard Challenge fashion & lap the barstewards!
Win-win situation. :D :D
-
Re: 2 litre bottles needed
Brilliant!!! ;D Can't see any problems with that!!!
-
Re: 2 litre bottles needed
Soopah! Meet at 12 midday then in the scabby pikey pub along by the Post Office. I believe they open @ 8 to serve the towns alchys their liquid breakfast?
Remember to bring your dog-on-a-string and two carrier bags with your lifes possessions.

If not, I can offer them a home at Westbury, depending on when they will be needed I can also drop them off somewhere.
If anybody wants to drop bundles off here they can too:
SIMPSONS
TROWBRIDGE RD
WESTBURY
BA13 3AY
The Karcher place on the side of the main road into Westbury (almost opp the Co-Op).
I have the 4 here already :-)
