That's okay, you still have over a week to replace the spring :wink:

Re: TVSF Camping weekend. Are you going to be there?
 

Roughly what size is the spring. We have a selection at work so I might be able to lay my hands on a sutable one.

Re: TVSF Camping weekend. Are you going to be there?
 

Spring is about 40mm in length by 5.5 - 6mm inside diameter.Outer diameter not exceeding 7mm. Looks pretty flimsy, a bit like the sort you find inside a pen. If you have anythign suitable mate that would be brilliant as springs aren't an easy thing to come by apparently.

Si - the tent is in a cylindrical bag, 8" diameter by 3 foot. you could repack it in to a different bag so long as you have somewhere for the poles (about 2' long at a guess)

I now have a tent and a sleeping bag. Thanks.

Re: TVSF Camping weekend. Are you going to be there?
 

Being that this is now less than two weeks away, has anyone started making plans for the trip down to the campsite?

It is a 2hr15 min journey door to door from maidenhead using the boring motorways or maybe we could do a more exciting route.

I have taken the afternoon off work so that I can make the journey during daylight hours etc. Is anyone else planning on making the trip in the afternoon also?

Re: TVSF Camping weekend. Are you going to be there?
 

I was planning on leaving straight after work, 4.30pm on a Friday, perfect for the rush hour!

I'll be going from Windsor, route undecided if anyone is leaving around this time. I hadn't thought about the route to much yet.

Re: TVSF Camping weekend. Are you going to be there?
 

I have taken the rest of my life off work (until I find another job)So I'm free for an afternoon ride down. Prefer not to start from Maidenhead though, we are going South right? I haven't even looked where it is. :)

Re: TVSF Camping weekend. Are you going to be there?
 

looking at a late afternoon set off time as well :D 93 miles and 2 hours 30 mins if going through the city

Re: TVSF Camping weekend. Are you going to be there?
 

That sounds like a long time, google thought an hour and a half from Windsor!

I could meet up with you guys if you leave around then!
