Dunno Beany. Given how crusty and accident prone most of us are, planning a whole year ahead is just wishful thinking. It's going to be a challenge getting us all to Sort this September alive and well, let alone 2020...
Meet Up in Sort, Catalunya 23-27 September 2019

Re: HISS events
The campsite was clean and well kept in general. I think there was a small cafe/bar The bars are all down in Sort ( the ones we used) That bloody river can be noisy. Some nice bars and cafes in sort pizza take aways. As you will know no campfires anywhere. I do prefer the Hostel Josep I think it was about 35 quid a night bed breakfast end four course eve meal. We parked a van with bikes in outside but Rosa the landlady said we could used their underground carpark garage if we had wanted. I love the area and I would also like to publicly thank Simon Rice for all his help over the years with tips and guidance. The smugglers route is good fun but turn back at the tarmac in andora and come back. Andora is a dirty bottleneck- fags are cheap they say. See yer there I hope to get me mate coming too. 
. I am possibly going past it in march so I will do a quick reccy and ask questions etcc.

Re: HISS events
That sounds perfect. If you could ask them about availability for about 2 or 3 vans and maybe 6-10 people (ish) camping with bikes between 23rd and 27th September - that would be very helpful.
Cheers, Dave
Re: HISS events
It's quite a big campsite Dave, can't see end of September being problem for a few vans. I've got the contact details somewhere at home, the guy running it a couple of years ago when I stayed there was very helpful and spoke English, checked weather forecast for me and had knowledge of the pistes etc.daveuprite wrote: ↑Tue Feb 19, 2019 10:30 pmThat sounds perfect.

Re: HISS events
Yes Dave could be up for this, it's still a long way off and not sure of this years plans yet, hope to do some more TET stuff.
I'm still in Spain/Portugal, had some fantastic riding down here this winter. Heading back home next week so hopefully meet up for a day on the trails before too long, looks quite spring-like up there in France at moment ...hope it lasts.

Re: HISS events
Hmmm, I am interested as well since I missed the last HISS'es due to circumstances. SteveR, it would be good to meet again.
