Sorry John should've made it more clear, I've got my XT600 in the back of the van to get muddy on. :woohoo: But I'm on my way home to Kent from Cornwall so travelling on 4 wheels. (All the toys, all the time!)

Don't want to book into Bunkhouse and deny someone else the bed when I have my van with me anyway. Besides, I'm recovering from a cold so don't want to pass that on to anyone.
Don't stop me now, I'm having such a good time!!

I think you said it was the same local guys as last time (TRF) taking the offroad ride?
What time are we setting out?--and can we get a breakfast in the cafe beforehand?(although I can self cater without a problem).

Weather looks better than last time--couldn't see much last year through the mist and drizzle--and only a couple of us survived to the end!!

I'm coming down in the van (with WR250R in the back). I've spoken to the site about a hard standing and they have a couple so I'll sleep in the van--I snore, cough etc and its not fair on others to inflict such bodily functions on them.

Looking forward to it and some challenging lanes--although I have CST knobblies on and they are sh1t on slippery rock slabs so will have to watch myself and pick lines carefully. If I could afford it I would fit trials tyres for that neck of the woods!!
