one about 2 miles west on the A272, another on the juction of Petersfield road and the A31 about 3 miles, shouldn't be a problem.
WTF!?
Aware a handout will be done, and if the info is in there i apologise Job, but seriously, why is it closed? Seems a bit odd that they would close coming into summer considering the location! FOOOOOLISH

In fact you can't go in any direction apart from over the fields without running across a petrol station quite shortly.
It's losers is irritating but not an issue.

I'm getting a flight back from the US on Friday now to try and get there in time for a go in the back of Gav's van. May be a bit jetlagged* so not sure if that may affect the experience but nothing ventured nothing gained!
*This all depends on me persuading Lady Poppy to take me down in the car as I doubt I'll be awake enough to ride. Let's hope she doesn't see this thread first...

Ah ok, that makes sense. Would be good if they did pay at pump too but will happily settle for not queuing! :)

It only technically cost me £30 cos i sold the other one and some other stuff to fund it.
Annoying thing is, i rushed buying it thinking i could use it for the AR, but then i saw what i was getting payed and a little bit of me died inside.

Actually money would originally have been invented to stop us having to cart goods around all the time when we needed something we didn't make ourselves.
Killing each other for food would have been more likely to have been solved by something along the lines of good irrigation, the implementation of the three field system and the horse collar creating an increase in supply.

And that's where we've all gone wrong. I never take payment for my photography but in return for doing photos I've had a brilliant massage at the beauty salon, a case of wine, a day at Wembley, and gig tickets.
I haven't told Job, Simon and Mr Spanky yet what I'm expecting in return for doing the photos at AR this year :D

If you can find the money for fuel, the rest of the weekend is about the same as sitting at home. You don't need to eat pub food, hell you can bring 1Kg of cooked pasta & sauce in a tupperware tub and just eat that for the weekend.
If you were going to need to buy a tent or sleeping bag etc just post up on here what you're short of, a number of us have plenty of this sort of stuff in the attic.
If you genuinely can't afford it then I'm sorry to hear it, as I've most definitely been at a point where I couldn't afford petrol. It sucked.

Me, Jammy, Fallout, Spank and DaddyJob, did the route today (well I did half as I had to go home early for my tea) ;-)
Blinding route, Nadgery, Fast and Twisty. Dodgy cambers, steep uphill and downhill, bit of everything really. Great scenery and the weather was perfect today.
Well up for this now!!

I was working yesterday photographing a load of rich bankers trying to pretend they could play cricket. They were OK but the 4 female organizers were having a competition to see who could be the biggest bitch to our staff. All I wanted to do was be off on my bike. Reading that only made me feel more grumpy I lost a day of my weekend.

You mean you haven't done a deal with the weather Gods??
What sort of AR are you guys running?? :roll:
It doesn't require much apprently - only a single sacrifice of someone local to the required location is usually required - obviously a multiple sacrifice would be better if the personnel are available (willingness isn't important)
If you aren't able to arrange anything beforehand - perhaps this could be part of the Friday night entertainment?

Hey gran I prev posted in southwest tinder who was going up from our way. I'm heading up on the day morning for the day so if you're not camping you are more than welcome to join me
Not long to go now. Remember that 2 weeks tomorrow is the last date to pre order your lunch at the ride out!
Job, did i actually confirm my food order with you? :)
2 weeks to get your lunch orders in!
So is there one big rideout planned for Saturday? Or a few shorter ones?
I'm getting my 600 mile service done at Verwood, 9am so won't be over until closer to 11am. I might get there and find you all gone!
Pah! book it in a day or two earlier then no worries! doesnt matter if its a few miles short!
Pah! book it in a day or two earlier then no worries! doesnt matter if its a few miles short!
Can't I'm afraid, got work all week.
Crescent in verwood? and where abouts is your work?
Shirley in Soton. I know there's a Crescent in Soton but I feel some loyalty to Verwood as I bought it there and they were pretty sound people!
ok that buggers that idea then, they are great there and would give you a loaner. i always used to go to verwood but it was too much of a manic rush to get there so use charminster now. i digress...whenever i have a service i book it in the week, drop the bike off day before, get a loaner and pick it up the next day.
verwood should be able to do that otherwise use southampton mate, they are all the same, not like a split franchise thing so its all good
That's pretty good as it goes! I didn't ask as I didn't think they'd do a loan bike overnight. I used to get my FZ6 serviced at Parkroad Powerbikes in Shirley (Yam dealer) - they didn't do loan bikes :-( Might look into it...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, the Bournemouth ones are great, helps that they are really friendly and use em for all my bike work.
Never dealt with Southampton ones but sure they are similar!
When I use Verwood it's a bandit or the faired bandit and when I use charminster it's a diversion.
Can't remember if Southampton is a Suzuki or yam but it will likely be one of those two! Def worth looking in to as the sat is effectively one big ride with a lunch and some fuel stops

Its one big ride out, from 10 till 4ish. Feel free to come down to the BBQ and Saturday night shenanigans!
Depending on what time you'll be across might be able to meet at the lunch stop.
