Right then - I have set the day for the long awaited
"Dave & Vals Princetown 2018"
It is over the weekend of 31st August to 2nd September 2018 at the Plume of Feathers Princetown, Dartmoor. http://theplumeoffeathersdartmoor.co.uk/

This is aimed at mainly our Bike riding friends but that said all our friend are welcome to come along (Bikes, Vans, Cars, buses, trucks I don't mind) and enjoy a weekend of banter, food and drink and or a day out in Devon/Cornwall.

A fair bit of Camping available on site at the Plume or wild camping on Dartmoor! Campervans park on hardstanding (not sure if there is any plug in points)
Within Princetown there are Bunkhouses & B&Bs including at the Plume of Feathers - see links below for some. If booking in the Plume please say it is for Dave & Vals Event.

So the plan will be low level over the weekend
Arrive Friday afternoon - settle in, meet up, drink, eat and be happy.
Saturday - Breakfast, Ride-outs (tba), Day out are required on your own, in family groups with mates etc. Saturday night more Banter food and drinks and Bed.. Sunday Breakfast, Coffee/tea, pack up and head home as required.

Ah, Dave & Val - my long lost relatives. Long time no-see.

Glad to see you resurrecting the Princetown meet. We will be there subject to getting accommodation booked so hope to see you there.
 
Wow, this takes me back more than a few years. Hi Dave & Val,hope to be able to make this weekend. Would be fantastic to meet up again with all the oldies :rob

If any one who’s going has an hour to spare, go to the Church near the prison gate, very very interesting history of the prison, it even held American prisoners of War :thumb2

Yes, lots of them return on coaches to view their ancestral home.
 
I wore my Princetown 2004 T shirt yesterday. :D

2004, where did the time go...... the rain, the rain.

 
Date Clash

Hi Dave

Would love to be there but it clashes with The Overland Event up in Oxford.
 
The dates may work for me, I’ll have a ring round the accommodation later this week :thumb
