Nick refuses to take my panniers and I refuse to get rid of the pink tinkerbell so I will be riding my own bike complete with the tinkerbelled panniers :D

There's plenty of room to spread out, have you seen the size of the "overflow" site? :eek

Rumour has it that the furthest end is in a different county. :D

Don't sleep naked !!!!

Just got back from the N.A.B.D. rally and about thirty tents got rifled ( there is always a parasite )..one tent had a married couple fast asleep when said scum entered the tent and then entered their bedroom and stole £120 from right next to naked wife :eek: Her sister was telling me it had (obviously) spooked her big time that blokes could enter their tent and then the bedroom partion and then steal from right next to her...and they never heard a thing ( to much beer - devils poison )

Apparently 4 young men entered the tents and if disturbed flashed a torch in the occupants face and apologised for getting into the wrong tent..then walked away. Security didn't want to know. Organisers didn't want to know either:(

Of course there will be non of this at Baskerville:thumb2

Now, Little Beemer, you were talking about camping and living with nature.......:augie

This sort of thing seems to be on the increase at music festivals too. At one festival the dozy twits robbed the tent of some senior policeman, who was most unhappy and actually managed to get the thieves caught. Although they did take pictures of themselves with a stolen camera, which was perhaps unwise.
 
:aidan:aidan The passport has arrived in time so it looks as if I will be able to join you lot.. I have booked in at Turner Towers, c/0 Flipfly and Liz. I also hope to be bringing "Lill" the 80 and just to make proff happy, She will be sporting the "right" tyres.
I believe the off roadf run is fully booked but is there a fords run ,or similar? and if so where do I book in?

Had a "trial pack" last night, as well as trying put my new tarp in the garden. Tarp is bigger than I thought; I might be able to sell tickets to watch me put it up as a slapstick comedy routine. :blast

It's reminded me how much I hate having untidy packing.

It's been a while since I put my little tent up. Can anyone remind me - do I put the inner up first and then put the outer cover on, or the outer first and then hang the inner?

I'm sure I'll remember when it comes to it. :thumb2

Is anyone taking a hammer I can borrow to drive my tent pegs in? I don't want to have to take my own.

BBC weather forecast looks a lot better in Tregaron than in Hay on Wye...

Our pile of stuff keep growin in the front room, feck knows how we are supposed to take it all :augie

Feck, If it rains I'm gonna have to pitstop & change my slicks to wets & keep my sliders of the deck. Not a problem, at least I'm not camping...:aidan

Tried putting my new tarp up the other day - I don't think you'll be the only one who looks somewhat incapable to the untrained observer.
