Hi all, due to an enforced change of circumstances am pretty certain I wont be able to make this event. I am gutted about it.
So I have a place available for a tent, if anyone wants to purchase this how would we go about selling/ swapping names on the list etc?

Thats Mike paid up for the weekend. We will be arriving on the Thursday so fingers crossed we get a bottom of hill campsite less distance to stagger back to the tent.
Will be great to meet up with everyone again.

Rough time at the moment. My own fault. Will be alright in the end though. Just means I cant get to this event. Disappointed as it would be my first.
Cheers

Dam.. I can't bring my XR650L to play on the lanes. The donor engine blew it's rings on the way home from Donington.
So, I'm brining my almost finished Dominator up. Sadly, on road tyres and also a totally collapsed rear shock. No speedo, no Dash etc. Half it's wiring still not finished so just tucked under the tank. haha.
I'm bringing my AA card with me for sure
See you all there

Make sure you pack your DL and conterfoil too. Test a CCM ? I will. I'll be on Af Twin and won't be greenlaning either. Lots of super paved roads up there.
Arriving Fri evening, hopefully before dark.

Seems like fun Ted! Grab a test bike from work for the weekend instead, I can just see you getting round on a shiny new GS smothered with TT gear
Well as luck would have it, I'm snowed under with work and the house hasn't sold. Cant believe 12 months has past! The weekend will be awesome if it goes remotely close to the inaugural meeting and I'm sure Danny and family will see to it! Obviously I'm going to miss it, otherwise Ted, Stan, Andy and I would have had a skin full at the Swinging Arm by now! To all the lads in the methane forest, Cheers Dave.

Just got back from Danny's place now. What a great weekend that was.
To all I missed saying goodbye to, I apologise. My hangover was kicking in and the 12 pork steaks I ate the night before seemed to be not sitting well on gallons of real ale.
See you all again soon I hope

Concur with the above sentiment. Top weekend. Super organisation by Danny and Cathy. Thanks for all your hard work and everything the helpers did too.
