lol.... then i'll just ban everyone :lol:........ OPPRESSION!!!
i hope porlock is as "special" as tiverton
lmao Porlock is special in it's own way lets say that. Just make sure your tents zipped good and proper. :eek:
As for a pub crawl , we could taxi it down to Minehead where it's happening.. I fear things could get messy though.. :razz:

If they say no to just turning up, you can always just turn up and have our spare room in our tent if you want.

Because I asked if you have to stay 3 nights according to the campsite not who is staying 3 nights! Just cuz it's your birfday...
but we are staying 3 nights so it does not matter?

Kate Moss
13-08-09, 01:31 PM

I got charged an extra £2 per night to sleep in my van... So i take up less room, but get charged more. I may wish to speak to the man in charge as £2 to take up less room sucks. She put me in as a motor home!!
so why not put the tent up, then sleep in the van?
then you save your £2,
phil24_7
13-08-09, 02:51 PM
I'm thinking about doing just that to be honest. Would like the boss to OK me to stay in my van for the same price, without having to put up the tent, TBH!
yeah, does seem a bit odd, and a few peeps have had issues with the woman, but camper vans are normaly more expensive, and she probably thinks that what you have
probably not worth kicking up too much of a fuss over £2 though,
phil24_7
13-08-09, 04:04 PM
£6 in total!! Just seems wrong when I'll be taking up less space!

I shall pitch as normal, in the field, with you lot. Then just crash in the van anyway!;)
you could then "hire" your tent out for a profit

Carefull Phil ...
Most 'proper' campsites won't even let you kip in a normal van due to 'health & safety' implications ... ventilation etc.
I'd pay & pitch your tent for the cheaper price & kip in the van if you wish ...
We won't tell on you !!! :D

I can probably meet you at junction 25,24,23,22 or 21 of M5 and lead your there if you like. I've still got to see if i can get next Friday off though, or atleast the afternoon. But if i can i'd be more than happy to meet with you.
can I come
Where you based to buddy? Your more than welcome to come by all means, heres the thread with the info on required to book up http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=133466 I don't expect you'll have too much trouble booking now unlike some others who tried. The campsite was worried about us disturbing the peace, when you book let them know your with us and no sillyness will be taking place, well not much.. ;)
cool
is giddy coming?
If we're lucky he might be :thumleft:, he's already cleared it with me but no promises he'll be there..
oh, ok, its just he lead us down last time, and avioded the motorway,
TBH it looks simple to get there, but still prefere to meet up on the way, i was thinking of leaving cardiff @ 12ish?

Tis a piece of p*ss M5 all the way to Bridgewater, come off at IIRC J23 go through the town centre and follow signs for Minehead ( A39 ) and then once through Minehead stay on A39, when you get to Porlock, go through the village, and then take a right towards then end IIRC its signed Porlock Weir..
I thought I had the day off, but I do not and have no chance of getting it off, otherwise I would offer to meet you at Bridgwater and you could follow me down... but I wont be away from work till 5:30pm..

I might PM the gidster then and tell him to get his **** out on that bike and lead. I can avoid the motorway but it's along way to go up to meet you and then come back on myself again. If you could get to Weston then I would meet you there and avoid the motorway all the way to the campsite. You've been to Weston bike nights so atleast your familiar with the area???
Damn it i meant meeting you at junction 25,24,23,22,21 D'oh..

yeah i know weston (a bit)
it depends how quicker it is on the motorway, i dont mind doing the motorway, if it saves alot of time.
Damn it i meant meeting you at junction 25,24,23,22,21 D'oh..
all of them?:p
i dont know where you are, but its pointless you going out of your way, just go the way you want, and tell me where the best place for you is?
