Not really. Just book the ferry yourself anytime. The campsite will take a number of us, I will be in touch with them soon to book that and they are very flexible on numbers.

Hi Stu. It's £59 on the ferry then it's 20 Euro's a night for your tent. Plus your fuel money, food, beer etc.

My preferred date would be the 13th July (fri), returning on the Monday.

Looks like a few will be going further afterwards but as it's open, you can come and go as you please.

Ditto!!

Great story, thanks for sharing!

Buy new boots you cheapskate!

Hold on, let's see what everyone else can do first before booking time off!!!

No I am looking at it now outside the flat. Just being a lazy bast*rd it's quicker to log in :D

Nice one Jo

Looking around 12 maybe as I am on nights Sat night so won't be too early. 12/1pm would be good for me.

Middle of July would be good for me, I think it's Friday the 13th. Will have to see what everyone else can do but let's just kick the ideas off with that date for now.

The weather forecast is not good at the moment. High wind and showers in the south on Sunday.

Anyone doing this?

Anyone want to meet up at the services M/A23?

Well done to them both and of course to you too for making them what they are.

Enjoy your dinner tonight

Ok, so far so good. Not too many going which is not a bad thing.

I was thinking of carrying on down towards Bordeaux/St Emillion area. I was down that way 3 years ago and it was brilliant. Not too far either.

As I said I will keep this open for another couple of weeks then set a date.

You should have left this for a while Vicki, these old people would have forgotten about it by then!

Ok, I will give this another couple of weeks then start looking at a date. So far it looks like July is good for some at the moment.

I have just become a full time biker commuting 100 miles a day. During the recent heavy rain my visor leaked a little. I wiped the outside and I still had droplets on the inside, I also wear glasses and a few drops were on them too. I have a waterproof/windproof neck protector so that should have stopped water coming in from the underside of my helmet, my visor was also closed but still water leaked in.

Any suggestions on products to stop this or what I should do?

Try adjusting the visor, make it tighter, look for the manual if you still have it and tighten everything up.

it's raining and my wee bike is getting wet so I think I need to get a cover for it. I was hoping to get a shed but there just isn't enough space in the garden but what about a tent...?

I know it's kinda pricey but I had budgeted for a shed

It says in the ad that it comes complete with a grounding plate so it doesn't blow away.

Congrats Remy.

Just happy to help out mate

Top bloke Mark

Well it can be done if enough interest. I can supply a drum kit and a bass, couple of amps and a PA if needed. So far we have a keyboard and drummer. Need guitarists.

not sure I'm too keen on drunken rally goers using my guitars though TBH!

Rennie, I see what your saying that you wouldn't want a load of pissed up rally go-ers on your gear but being musicians I expect whoever plays will not be pissed up and would treat the other guys guitar or whatever with a bit of respect, well, that's what I have found in all my years of playing with bands anyway!

So, we still need people to play instruments and more suggestions for a set list please. Let's not write this off yet.

Nice one Dave, congrats to you all

and i aint even that old!!!!!!!! am i?

No, of course you're not. Cos I says so

You both are, get over it :D

Think it got deleted

If so there will be a copy of it in Admin. Most forums don't delete a thread/post forever, they usually just get hidden away where they got deleted. I reckon it will still be around somewhere. Maybe a mod or someone who knows what they are doing could locate it and unlock it for us to see?

You bring your own gear!

 

Not all of us come in Mondeo's to bike events

Hey Pinky, It was a camping weekend, not a 'bike event' and if I hadn't of taken the car then Gin or Cat couldn't have made it.

Whats with the 'rolleyes' smiley?
