Well, I have just called, and the results are in!! The lady, she say (I'm parapharasing BTW)....

The field has drainage (being a camping field) but obviously this is limited. The field WILL be wet/damp at least by the time we get there!! In her words "obviously we can't help it if it's raining"... I don't think she understood my point, but ho hum.

BRING SIDE STAND PUCKS!!!

However, should anyone forget, she's also said that there is a carpark we can make use of. I'm not sure of the size of the carpark, so I wouldn't advise that everyone assumes they'll be able to fit in here!! The car park I suspect will be "farmers tarmac" (gravel on top of mud more likely - if this is the case, the bikes still may dig in!!).

I'll post this in "The Last Word" as well.

From past experience, campsites usually have decent drainage. HOWEVER, IIRC, we're in an overflow field that's usually used for animals (sheep I think were in there previously).

So, if the field does get completely waterlogged, we'll have sheep droppings floating into all the tents. Bring it on! I'm tempted to take tomorrow off work just so I know everything is in order before the departure friday morning.

whos idea was it to organise the AR when wimboldon is on ?

2 weeks of none stop rain

I pinched some giant humongous compacter bag things from work on sunday night so
a; my tent will be laid on something dry
b;my bike will be covered..its never had an umbrella shaked at it never mind a full on downpour
c;cover the raptor up..we think it maybe fixed and it don't like rain neither
d; if its really wet and tent starts leaking i'll nick the raptors cover!!!!!!
