went away with the better half this week to do a dry run to get ready for the AR.
Found a lovely little campsite down a tiny country road and set up for the night.
NOTE to self....next time look over the hedge and see if there is a 24 hr petrol station-cafe and two huge scrap yrds that start up at some unearthly hour in the morning.
Now Im going to google earth the AR site to see whats over the hedge.

No need Rick, there's nothing to be found

There's a road that runs along the length of the field, but it's 30-40 yards away from the camping field, behind big thick hedges and trees and we never heard any noise from it when we were there.....with the exception of motorbikes It's not a major road, so you won't notice it...just the lovely scenery behind it!

lol...its always handy to have a look to see where the grass is all worn down with drunken people heading towards the loo in the middle of the night

Ok, already asked one daft question and here it goes with another , so now decided that we will get wet, is it worthwhile forking out for waterproofs for over leathers or will they survive enough?

Yes, yes and yes!

You don't have to get anything fancy - but once your leathers get wet, it won't take long before you're soggy too. Plus, once they're wet, it's unlikely they'll dry out properly in a tent.

Make sure you have waterproof gloves, a spare pair, waterproof boots, and waterproof top and bottoms to chuck over your leathers. Riding when soggy feels horrible and really affects your concentration and body temperature.

Ok, think il be making to trip to HG. hmmm boots arent waterproof, never have been lol but i can live with wet feet. I have textiles, but there nowhere near as comfortable as my leathers in heat/long motorway stints.

If you find a cheap set of wp overs in hg let me know how they are, I'll need some probs.

you don't even need to make a special trip to an HG, just go into any outdoor shop and you should be able to pick up a pac-a-mac jacket and trousers for about £15-£20 i would think.

Fair enough!
