Seriously though, what is on the agenda
Normally -

You pitch up on the Friday and find a spot for your tent.
Mingle with the folks and chat about bikes.
Pay for your stay.
Friday eve head down to the pub for a cup of tea and cucumber sandwich.
Friday eve stay at the camp with a can of diet coke and chat around the fire.
Saturday morning - Go on one of the ride outs (green or asphalt)
Saturday monring - lie in and do your own thing
Saturday eve - Off to the pub or around the fire.
Sunday morning - pack up, wave and see you next time.

A very basic synopsis mate.

There are no bands, no paid talks and no mosh pit. A very chilled-out affair that places the focus on the riding of the bikes and not so much about what bike it is.

Please, please please will you fix it for me Jim?
I'm afraid it's my Son's birthday the weekend after and the weekend prior my Daughter is due to be born - so I'm on a knife's edge as it is mate! So sorry :( and I feel your pain as I have missed rather a few due to work and commitments last year.

Cheers Felco -

Yeah between the bikes and the graft this is going to be our 6th - someone's tubes are getting cut, I guess we will have to flip a coin to see who has the op! :unsure:

Just wanted to follow up what someone else siad, I didn't see an answer to the 'can you just turn up or do you have to book in?' question. I may or may not be in the country, but if I am, camping with beer and fine countryside in February and a daft amount of bikes sounds like my idea of heaven. I'll be looking out me tent in case!

One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. "Which road do I take?" she asked. "Where do you want to go?" was his response. "I don't know" Alice answered. "Then," said the cat "it doesn't matter."
