Camping

I rode from Oxford to Priddy (near Shepton Malet) on Saturday and right past Bradford on Avon. There are some truly brilliant roads, and also some standing stones and prehistoric crap to keep Nick happy . Si, I now know why you REALLY moved there.

I unfortunately won't be about but you should plan a route and go do some of those awesome roads on Saturday. Just watch out for the poo and gravel, as there was lots of it about. I want you all to be in one piece when I arrive in the evening!

If anyone has a Garmin I can send them my route.

1) Wood. I remember you can buy sacks there, but they didn;t last that long and were expensive. Stu and I went to get some more but it was slim pickings. Any idea how we can ensure we have enough and for as cheap as possible?

No idea on cost. Surely it's not that dear if we all contribute?

2) BBQ. I'd love a bbq, but I can't bring the grill cos my ex has it all . Can anyone bring a grill or full bbq? Anyone coming in a car/van? Are we bbqing both days and do we need to bring meat? Condiments?

3) Pizza? That takeaway place? Also an option.

HOw about pizza Friday night, bbq Saturday? That way we could get bbq stuff on Saturday after our rideout and bacon sarnie/coffee lunch at Simon's? We could ask Knightrider to bring a bbq if he's driving?

4) Beer run? I can bring some spirits, but bulk beer could be done with a car perhaps...

John again? Or await Eviltwin's plan!

5) Something to do during Saturday day? Rideout? CULTCHA? haha. I could look into it...

Options have been discussed, but no final choice yet. I suggested Sidbury Hill and Avesbury but the idea was shot down!

That's because it is cultural, you'll get used to that

Any way I can ride down on Friday with someone? Who is coming from Brackley/Oxford area after work?

Unfortunately I'm on a late shift again so will do like last time and come under the cover of dark! I'll make sure my baffle is removed so you can hear me and open the gate!

I have a BBQ grill I can bring and some charcoal too.....

At car speed that means I should arrive by 7ish. If anyone is up for joining me on said route let me know. The Oxford lot could meet en-route at Newbury?

We could arrange something? What time will you be leaving Nick? Any chance of leaving earlier Devil Biccy?

Depends on what I have on for work if I can wangle and Admin day them an early start is most likley.
