Thats a bummer mate, it looks like I will get back from France in time to have met on the way, so see you again sometime! cheers Marcmark1150 wrote:Well after looking forward to it for some considerable time, I now find myself declaring myself out.
Work issues that I know are going to crop up will see me working my tits off and getting home too late on Friday to roll up there, (I'd be too knackered after 03.00am getting up followed by a few hundred miles round trip and a days work on top),
And to go up for the day is not an option, and to be fair even if I did; you lot will be out and about anyway.
So that's it I'm cattled!
Too many Cagiva Elefants, Gran Canyons and Ducatis!

Re: FIRST TO THE BOIL RALLY
First a huge thanks lads, although I can't go it has made a huge difference to me reading your posts.
Turning up late is a non starter, my day starts when a lot of you are getting to bed, in fact this week alone I've had one 02.30 two 03.00 and the rest have been lye in's at 03.30 starts, by the time I'd have got home SSS, and out the door I'd be cattled, and that might not end well if I fall asleep.
To go up for a day wouldn't be on the cards, as for me it will just add to the torture of what I've missed.
There will be another time and soon I hope, as I have a good bit of holiday left over for the last year, and I love the lakes.
Have a great time and keep 'em SSU, Oh and lots of pix please, you do know that pix please my simple mind!

Re: FIRST TO THE BOIL RALLY
Silly question from me - where is the nearest fuel station from the camp site?
Also, silly question No 2 - what range of food shops will be open on Saturday afternoon, possibly late afternoon?
Thought I'd ask now before being caught wandering aimlessly round K-Stephen like a homeless wreck
:whistle:

Hi Steve,
Don't worry you won't be pushing your bike or having to kill a sheep and cook it for your dinner
There is a Fuel Station about half a mile up the road, open seven days a week until 9, I think!
There is a Co-op supermarket about five minutes walk, open seven days, there are three chippies, two chinese's an Indian and numerous cafe's.
Cheers,
Paul

I have cut a lump of old ply into 4" squares, so if you forget your stand puck don't worry.
I think Jesse and the girls are planning to get the food ready for 7.30ish, hope everybody will be there by then.
If you cant find us ring Paul on 07711 882112, I will guide you in, you shouldn't have any problems though.
