Hey, I'm tempted by the idea of tagging along, as long as you don't mind a complete newbie joining you! (Saying that last weekend I did 400+miles down to, around Exeter, and back to Cardiff).

I'm not sure when I'm free, so I'll just follow what you guys organise. But have a tent.
Have looked at route on other forum page.

IMPORTANT

As it seems this is going to happen on the 5/6/7 June (See HERE (http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=129551)) I called the campsite to keep them informed and re-confirm availability. The campsite owner tell's me that the w/e 6/7 (Ngts Fri 5th and Sat 6th) have ecome fairly busy over the course of the week. He still has availability, but as it’s a small site, he advised that we book sooner rather than later so as not to have our plans scuppered. (Can't think why he'd say that)

He also asked about the number of pitches we will need. I said we will be looking at 6 or 7 pitches (based on current numbers and 1 tent/2 people per pitch), but I think we need to discuss tents/spaces to get a more accurate figure/best price, e.g. pitch 1 = 1 tent, 3 people (£24 total for 2 ngts); pitch 2 = 2 tents, 2 people (£22 total for 2 ngts).

If possible, I think a few of us should book now (01271 812217). Mention Richard and motorcycles and he'll know what you're on about.

I have a 3 man tent and it looks like the OH isn't coming (So I may have a space going, will confirm). I would say 2 spaces, but with kit it'd be a bit too cosy.

Also, is anyone planning to arrive early? I am thinking of taking a half day with a view to get there about 4ish on Friday.

i finish work at 12, so can leave anytime after that, mr google says 2 hours 30 mins, so translate that into fireblade time and your looking at 1 hour 30- 2 hours max

it would be cool if they did a ferry from swansea to illfrecombe


although, i dont like leaveing wales without an escort, or under armed gaurd:smt066, so i would be up for meeting peeps on the way, except gid, as he will just slow me down :kiss: only joking babes

There was a petrol station there as well a Shell IIRC, as I used it for a stop on a rideout I did, they sell sandwiches and pasties in the petrol station IIRC.

Burger King sounds fine to.

I've got an idea for lunch. As the rideout group will be meeting you lot at lunch time I suggest we meet at macdonalds barnstaple oposite the bmw garage, this is on route and gets lunch out the way to enjoy the ride. It's the only place I can think of that we can meet up for the rideout. How's that sound?

25-04-09, 08:01 AM

Sounds good to me.

Hovis - We'll be meeting the rideout group about 1pm (they leave TAUNTON at 11am)and the ride will take us about 3.5 - 4hrs. So back in time to get the BBQ fired up and make a bit of an evening of it. Also time in the morning for a good breakie, shower etc.

TFA - The beers start whenever you want.

I predict a few Friday night and a few more Sat night.

RichT
25-04-09, 11:34 AM
No mate - The plan if camping is to meet the rideout group at Barnstaple McD's around 1.

If you want to get up early and meet the rideout group at TAUNTON - go for it - its up to you. I'm sure some will fancy that.

Personally I plan on an easy morning, shower, nice full breaky, then gear-up and head out. An afternoon in the saddle after roughly 3 hrs the ngt before and 3 hrs the day after suits me fine.

Starting at 1pm is a wee bit late, but we'll be out for 4-5hrs ish. So back at the campsite around 6, that's perfect - Start BBQ at 7...

I reckon a disposible between 4 people is fine.... I've a little camping stove that I'm bringing as well - great for cous cous.

So I've got 1 and we'll probably need 3/4 more - at about £2 a go they're the easiest option.

Well a majority that said they are coming have booked or arranged to share a pitch. There are still a few folks that need to organise themselves.

The next step is to set plans for meeting and getting there.

I won't be getting there until about 7pm, so unlikely to be the first to arrive.

A couple of us from South Hants have started to discuss riding up together and I think Chompy has looked at a couple of routes, but that's as far as that's got.
