Thanks Ste I feel so much better now..not! This is beginning to look like an endurance event more than a fun biker weekend. Hang on, if I go on my bike, do I get my AWB ???? (tbh there's no other way I'm ever going to get it LOL).

Some 'not so good news' fresh from the RnB web site - the event IS still on however

[Mrs_Hippy]

Hi all

I think my new furry helmet is going to get a tad damp...

Well i know you regulars will still be coming - we all know that whatever the weather it is still great fun and a good laugh even if it is a year where most of it is spent in the camp - Remember Pirates dont fear water!!

Those taking cars (including the Hippys assistants) will be parked apart from the camp but Hippy and I will be providing lifts and carrying dutys on the blackbird when needed or Lilly (if she isnt too damp). The blackbird can carry a bungied gazebo across the back easily as there will be no road rules so you can effectivley take most of what you usually do.

Please bring any spare bungies straps you have for us to use

I think the weather is supposed to get better by the weekend so I guess its just to prevent the scenes of a few years ago when the ground was sodden and people didnt know how to drive the 4 by 4's they owned!

We will be taking a spare tent and sleeping bags in case it is as wet as it has been and somone elses fails and dont forget to take a complete set of dry clothes and shoes to store in one of the cars! Oh and dont forget sun lotion - God Bless the British quick change weather.

And remember bring nice warming drinks like....... like vodka, whisky, mead......

well you can forego the air beds, just mould yourself into the mud.
no point bringint changes of clothes showers will be frequent and free.
oh, most important, bring with you all either a good puck or a piece of floorboarding to put under your stands. I dont think crushed beer cans willbe up to the job.


were rethinking what we are packing, deffinatrely bringing the foldaway chairs. We bought some waterproof bags from aldi a while ago along with some head torches so there gonna come in handy.

I have a feeling I will be living in my 1 piece waterproofs.

[Mrs_Hippy]

Whos on about cleanleyness? (if cleanlyness is next to godlyness we is screwwed) I was maning clean dry clothes in case everything else gets totally cold and soaked!

It gives you a dry set of everything to change in to one last time before seeking shelter in the campsite for the rest of the weekend to drink!

[queen of string]

And just for the record I still have no idea how to drive my 4x4

You still did a hell of a lot better than those huge muscled tatooed blokeys with the full kit, spotlights and winches on them and had the sence (*cough* female sence hehe) to think that perhaps that wouldnt be a good idea to drive it over that particular bit of the feild *grin*

[JonB]

I hope the weather holds out for all of you.

[Ste]

Arse @ not being allowed cars on site, means having to put more thought into packing.

So I'll be there sometime from around midday(ish) and will tape off an area in the campsite somewhere that isn't at the bottom of any of the hills in an attempt to not end up in a flooded bit or where sliding bikes/cars will be.

Wonder if they'll let cars with disabled badges onto the site.

[Mudskipper]

Update on https://www.rockandblues.uk.com/

Now NO parking on site for cars or vans!! Bikes n trikes only on site...

[Ste]

Hmmmm so to find somewhere to park in Ripley that doesn't result in a ticket or being towed away.

Will be taking my XR so I can ride from where ever I park then.

[Ste]

CARS - VANS

PARKING SPACE FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE IS VERY LIMITED AND THERE WILL BE NO CAMPING WITH YOUR VEHICLE YOU WILL BE ASKED TO GET YOUR CAMPING GEAR AND WALK TO THE CAMPSITE BUT WE STILL STRONGLY ADVISE YOU TO GET ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORT INTO THE AREA OR GET DROPPED OFF AT THE EVENT.

[PsychoHippy]

Hopefully you will be ok then Ste - especially with your disabled badge. Remember, leave anything in the wagon, we can always walk back down and pick some stuff up
