Spoke to DD today about this and having checked the main thread, I think I am right in presuming its on the weekend of the 1st August 09?
In which case I will be able to make it...so +1 to the 'tail end' riders.
i might turn up in the car for the after rideout hog roast and head home again.
if you are still up for this and don't mind a passenger we could share the petrol money

+1 for going friday, but I am leaving after work. Not sure which route yet, probably the quickest to minimise tent putting up time and maximise drinking time.

we can always take my car :o
probably take my wee car as it will only cost about £5 for petrol lol. That way you can relax and have a relatively stress free journey, dont want you going into labour on the way there

You had better not go into labout at the AR.
Cant be good for the kid either way.
Aparently any girls born in an Essex hospital will have to be named Brittney, Chardonnay or Jade, the choice of names for boys isn't much better........
And if they happened to be born in the field, imagine if you had to give them the name of the person who helped deliver them - fine if its Melody, but can you imagine their embarrasment at "Sid Squid", or even Bear :)
Eeek I've planned for lots of things, but not that!!! Please don't x;)x
mods if you are about can you move this lot to a separate thread and maybe then we can keep the AR09 thread on track - sorry guys

Back on track for this one then, so who else is going to be gracing us with our presence, I will be there as I have been threatened on pain of death, I know DD, KK , Tara, Falc and Stu are going, so who else......???
Oh and is anyone going to do Paul's fancy dress on the BBQ night?

I'm 50/50 at the min. I did initially say I'm going but I've had some unforeseen expenses in the last month so it depends on how the finances look.

BAH! Ive just found out we can't make it either :(
falc's bike is up and running now so he might go - if KK is still up for it i will still go with her if thats OK if not
why don't we organise a BBQ or something for one of the days - we've not had an org BBQ for 2 years so if we don't end up going would anyone be interested in this?

I won't be attending the AR. Money was always going to be a little bit tight but now I have bits of my rear tyre missing so guess I need a new one.
I hate my world at the moment, it's pants. :cry:
Have all those on this list added their names to the big Offocial list in the AR section?
not added name to list until I know Ill definitely be going. didnt want to add name and then remove it.
I have managed to get a weekend pass so (weather dependent) I will ride down on the Friday evening after work. Probably leave around 6pm if anyone wants to tag along. If the weather is bad, may just do a Guildford and drive :)

If I'm going I'll probably meet you at your house if that's better as it's kind of on the way (in that general direction)!
Finding a tent small enough, on limited funds, to strap to my backpack is proving difficult. I may just plan to sleep under the stars but if the weather turns nasty hop in with someone else! ;)

:lol:
Remember to get a tent with enough space for your gear as well as you. How much you looking to spend? Actually I seem to remember Soulkiss (David) having a spare tent. Worth a PM. I could be mistaken though.
Oh and it's probably best to strap it to the bike not you. ;)
I've found some tents. Turns out my family has a supply of tents and they regularly go camping...something which I really wasn't aware of! lol
All seem a bit bulky, but I'm going for the smallest tent as it means I can bring an air matress too (not a proper air bed, but a roll mat which inflates a little bit!). Just need to mess around with some bungies to try and get something to fit on the bike now. Will buy a top box one day! :)

Not very small in all honesty. Still going to go have a look around Millets/Blacks tomorrow.
The logistics of camping don't suit my personality one bit! :)

We've got a two man tent here which you'd be welcome to borrow (can't guarantee it won't leak though :lol:). I'll double check later, but I think it was 80ish cm long by about 15cm when packed up. Probably bigger than the one you're using though lol.

Yeah, that sounds longer than the tent I've got here. Cheers anyways though.

Lol no worries. That's the reason I forked out for a new tent. Have you held your tent across the pillion seat to see how far it sticks out from the mirrors? Might fit with some bungies ;)

If push comes to shove, and I get my new tent in time, you can have use of my old 2 man tent. It's not huge but packs down to 60x14cm.
Edit: My new tent hast just arrived so you can have use of the old one.

Just trying to pack it all on the bike now, as I've never carried anything on it before!
