So packing ten litres of cider in one side and fluffy pillows in the other is a no no????? hehe

It's going to be my first ever AR so really looking forward to it.

I am speaking for myself here, but as what connects us all is the love for riding we should not moan too much about distance.. At the end of the day, there are lots of ways for people to get there if they feel it's too long a distance on their bikes..

Of course - and distance would never be an issue for me if I didn't have health issues, I would do the long way round if I could! Im just hoping everyone votes EA

Where ever we go somebody is going to moan about it.

Trouble is with voting for a location is that then we need to find locals to help us get it off the ground, sometimes due to the amount of work that an AR needs this can be difficult and as a team of mods we felt that having local support for the weekend and people who are actualling willing to put the weekend on from the start is much much more important than the actual location itself.

Its is difficult... and the people to organise the even is the most important.

Will be my first AR.. So all I want is good roads and good times... Will be nice to see a different part of the country as well.

Grinch - I assume there will be a few going from the south... I see a grand entrance coming.

Happy to help if required also.
