Weeeeee are going down on the friday. Hopefully chris will be travelling with us accompanied by maria. I presume Mel will travel with us too. Not so sure about Smudge-haven't seen him since he moved house last week
Why are you up for the parting of the waves (of cars)when we all go down together????
Im thinking of going with Hovis.He doesnt know it yet but I'm sure he'll comply

Just in case anyone's concerned about transporting stuff, I have a spare Renntec Sportsrack for the curvy SV, and a complete set of Oxford Platinum luggage- tailpack and panniers- which anyone is welcome to a lend of. Obviously they're in Edinburgh but I can post them out if need be.
I've also got a spare tent, it'd be the same deal- I'm not bringing it down on the bike, but I can post it to anyone who's needing a lend. It's a wee Eurohike number, never really used- my mate bought it for festivals but it's not durable enough for that, for Reading you need a tent that will withstand having 5 people in a shopping trolley roll over it, while on fire :mrgreen: But it's a decent wee tent for camping in less hostile environments!
And PS, WOOOOO! Top work all concerned, out of the frying pan into the campsite!
Can we start Team Renntec? Dizzy, Yorkie and me so far. Any more?
lol

well as the deadline for booking isn't a concern now, I should be there even if I don't do the actual rideout, as long as I can ride that far,then I can make it back :D.
So far more likely now, nice job Rick.
Cheers Mark.

Don't encourage him!!!! It may well fall to bits on the way down. He gave me a lift on it last night from work. It vibrated in all the wrong places, my feet had a funny sensation when i got off the footpegs and my hands felt like 12 after that grabrail.
If he rode down on that he may well have no teeth left from its super vibes! However it does have the most original STUBBIE end can from 1986??
And its taken more of a salt bath than Suze...lol

Just been onto the Easy Jet site, and flights to and from Bristol are about 60 quid for the round trip. Bristol might be a better bet for getting a lift maybe.

yeah but if someone is caging it from manchester, then I wouldn't discriminate against them, lol.
Northy: Well the physio kept checking to see how bendy my leg was, so we could try and see how bendy the rest of me is. And we all know that the underseat storage on an sv was more roomy than my tent. A top box would be luxury, lol.

There must be someone who can give you a lift.
If all else fails you could get a train from Bristol to Yeovil. The cheapest fare I could find for that was 13.10 one way, which doesn't seem too bad, until you realise it would cost more to get from Bristol to Yeovil and back than to fly to Bristol from Edinburgh:D

No it means that the site is booked exclusively for us to use :cool:. We're not actually staying in the offical campsite we're staying in the overspill field around the back of the pub.
Guys there really is plenty of space no need to worry.

True. Basically there will be a few seats available. Anyone who wants to bag a seat will need to be at my house when Jo (the better half) leaves. Timings to be confirmed. I have plenty of room, a couple of spare double beds and blow up mattresses so a stay overnight if you want is something we can accommodate. Jo will be leaving directly from home to the camp site.
