If I end up taking the van then I'll have the marquee with me, to keep the rain off the disco.
Plenty of kipping space in that.


But I won't be able to go on the rideout as I'm not leaving all the gear on its own in a field......
Anyone bringing a significant other to stand guard, while reading a book and drinking Pimm's?

[Virt]

Bringing my imaginary friends if that counts...?

[agentpineapple]

i'll be up for kipping in the marquee tony....

Lloydie's very real Virt, just don't compete with the mutt

Ckennedy - deffo from me & happy to do some routes before next year. Usual caveats of dosh and time blah blah. Sometimes go round your way en route to Donington with a mate from Norfolk each year.

Wicky - round these parts when a set of lights went in they caused multiple pile ups!

Go for it. I'd call it Operation Storm: Destination Leicestershire or something though

Operation Storm IV ever round the corner - Reserved for Scotland (once Al sorts it out)

Think that removes any ambiguity Geo

Tony would you not have a better time if you left the disco at home ?
This way you can enjoy the riding and getting pissed at night without worrying about your equipment (the disco stuff not your tackle as it no longer works ! )

This afternoon I took a quick trip out on the bike along the first leg of the route so far. Coalville - barrow upon soar - six hills- melton mowbary - market harborough. The roads were in good condition, a couple of bumps which caught me out slightly as I took a different line round the corner but nothing major. Lovely scenery with all the flowers starting to bloom and the fields all green grass and rape seed.

Lloyd: that roller coaster road, turns out I have done it before. I just didnt realise it What a nice road it is too. Need to do it a few more times though as I am not very used to it.

Not to self: Do not do these roads around rush hour again Got stuck behind traffic a few times and plenty of tractors out today too

Going to try out a bit more if not all of it over the weekend if I get chance to.

Edit: If I have not get your name down let me know and I shall add you

We don't need disco stuff anyway. You have a teenager in your midst. We're, apparently, very good at making as much noise as possible!!

[Ckennedy]

Why you bringing the missus or just a magazine?

I do not know why I have been thinking about dates so much, I have a years notice and all I'll have to do it put in a days holiday worst case or see if I can swap shift's. Not rocket science

Anyway I have come up with the dates of 30th May 2014 - 1st June 2014. That is Friday night to Sunday. Any problems let me know, as usual the vast majority get it.

I have just phoned the camp site at Barrow (proctor pleasure park) and I have found out prices and that the mobile disco shouldn't be a problem as they have VW campers and other groups turning up throughout the year doing similar things. The price is £7per night per person but she is going to get back to me to see if they can offer a better price but she has told me that is the max they will charge. I have told her that I shall let her know the final date by the end of next week. Money is payable of the final day (sunday) where I will do a collection and hand it over. I have given her rough numbers so far saying that numbers are likely to change but she said that wasn't a problem.

[Ckennedy]

Any dates where people know they have free for this time next year please let me know.

Flatline is wanting to hold his again next year on the same dates so mine shall be after then. Maybe end of June? what do people think?

[lloydie]

When ever as long as its at least month away from any others .
We need to get out and find some good roads :-)

You know.. It's never a good road unless you can enjoy it just as much on 33 ponies
