Not currently but... I live 3mins (by bike) away and (if you need to) you can shower here.

After a shower, can you apply my ointment? I can't see behind me so need a hand.

Ghost Pepper Powder mixed with toothpaste should do it.

I’m always lurking to see if another one of these ever happened again! 
 

Put me down! Potentially for two! And although I’ll bring my bike, I won’t be making the full journey on it

I assume that you do not want me to kill you!

Please use the 'vote' button at the top of page 1 - It makes it easier to keep a count of who is coming.

I'm putting me down as a yes! Not sure on if I will be camping or hotel yet though  

 

Don't think the missus is going to be coming though  

[rennie]

I seem to have generated a bit of interest in this on FB! 

We're hoping to attend but can't commit yet

2 of us and a dog... need to be certain pub and camping are dog friendly

Dog friendly = YES!

I'll be interested if on site camping is confirmed.

It would be great to see you again.

 

Still waiting confirmation regarding camping but it looks likely.

You going to organise it?

[Grumpy Old Git]

I am meeting with the owner to finalize things on Thursday.

 

Currently we have 9 attending (not sure how many will be camping but there is plenty of room!

So there is definately camping space? as it hasn't been confirmed and could be putting people off  

[Grumpy Old Git]

I'll update following the meeting with the owner. Camping will either be on-site or, a 10min walk (public footpath) away. 5-mins by road.

 

[Throttled]

I will not be able to attend. My father pretty much needs constant care and there is no one about then, so it is up to me.

[Grumpy Old Git]

OK - Meeting held and the result is:

 

Rally is booked 1st - 3rd September.

If the weather is ok, I'll make a day visit of it on the 2nd and say hello. I can't stay the night as I've got a work thing on the Friday evening and a family thing on the Sunday, so hopefully it will be dry!
