So I would reckon about the same, lets do it :shock:

I work in Swindon so could go direct from work. I'm up for going along sometime soon, this week is out though, I have two peoples work to do this week.

Not bothered where the start point is, if the sun shines and peeps are going I 'could' work from home to get a better start (meetings permitting).

The caravan is bigger than your tent :shock:

There are many camp sites down there as well, but that might mean a weekend (depending on holiday allowance and date). A nice area to stay at. Now have the kit so happy to use it :D

The light nights are not getting any longer. Anyone up for a blat to Poole one Tuesday in the near future?

Count me in :D

OK the forcast tomorrow is better than today. In fact looks reasonable over Poole way, so tomorrow is an option. We'll probably want to leave quite early, say six ish. The route and departure point will depend on who's interested.

... there is always next week... or the one after... :roll:

I'd like to go down at some point.. but it will be a bloody long trip for me! one to think about in a few weeks....

I've been saying the same thing but it's starting to get a tad late. I guess we have three, maybe four chances before the light starts to go before we'd get there. We could even meet somewhere on the way to reduce some distance.

Thoughts as always welcome.

Could go twice :twisted:

My parents are likely to put the caravan down St Austells way.. which isnt quite where they usualy put the bloody thing..... as they have visited Pool Quay when there are bikes there.... will also have to look at mileage etc.. as it will also be effing expensive on petrol getting there! :lol:

I've always fancied doing this but 12hr nights have meant it's not an option. :cry:

I'm off this week and next week so they are my only option really, Beenz if you decide to go tomorrow let me know, and i'll see what I can do, bit short notice though. Next week would be better, any idea what the 7 day forecast is? wouldn't like to do it in the wet to be honest.
