I think you should be safe to call.

Best to explain that you are part of the group - told her we are a forum and the numbers that we had confirmed - she seemed happy as I seemed sensible and took pains to explain we would not be revving etc and fully understood she had a business to run.

I have only just booked so now may be a good time.

I dont think anybodies messed it up, its just a case of crossed wires, which is easy to do on the phone...

I believe RichT is going to give the campsite owner a ring and sort it out.

I did the same when I spoke to her in the flesh and when I phoned I mentioned nothing about a group and had no bother, but then she never asked me if I was part of a group either.

I think because of the number of calls and all bikes she is putting the numbers together - 4 phone calls = 100 bikers

Thats why I ended up giving approx numbers so she knew how big the group would be.

Hope we all get in - RichT work your magic
