Hoping to, Tim


(just did not want to commit and disappoint .. as dependent on weather and other things)

Hi, assuming bike starts on Saturday I’ll be there. Did one a while back. Cheers Mike

Something has come up so I am going to have to put this off for now.
Sorry for inconvenience to any that were thinking of coming.

[garyboy]

thanks for letting us know, Tim … too unsettled for me, anyway, as I wanted to camp for the weekend .. er .. I mean .. I wuz all ready and raring to go, like, innit, …

a bit later in the year perhaps, when the weather is better and the scenery perhaps more flourishing?

[mktmhoward]

No worries thanks

Found the source of my woes.

Started bike up to take to station quick for a fill up and found coolant pissing down side of engine.

I have never know it before but single ear hose clamp had somehow stretched and wasn't clamping tight .

So have stripped bike back to try and effect a good repair. But this is a carbs off job.

It's gonna take time

I might make it out for a bit tomorrow if I have a long late night in garage.
Sorry guys
Next Month???

Depending when your thinking next month and what I'm working I could be up for a weekend on the plain, I'd have to find somewhere to stay though

Having a look I can probably do the 21st/22nd weekend, my mrs doesn't like me sat around the house anyway

too expensive for me tho .. I camped at the swan pewsey last year at £6 per night .. but shit tho .. I mean dog shit everywhere on the grass? .. pub was good.

would want a cleaner camp site .. any suggestions … north or south of the plain ?

I went to camp there two years ago and found it an utter mess and moved on...
