Do bikes and cars camp on the same field now or are they still separate like they were years ago?

A better place to meet would be the pub at Bassets Pole.

Reasonably central. Food for any of you who've ridden miles since breakfast. Close to the motorway for you to find it, and also close to the A roads for a better route to R&B.

What do you think?

SO, J.9 of the M42, head North on the A446 until you meet with the A38, and it's on that giant roundabout there.


A proposed route could be, along the A453 towards Tamworth, then take the A513 up to the A38, then follow the A38 all the way north.

So there's a bit of nice road, but not too much to add any distance to the journey.

Nice one Anna
That looks like a plan to me - I reckon we should be around that area at about 1100 or so, but a lot depends on traffic and the weather.
Both MrsH and myself are quite happy to follow as long as someone knows the way from there to Ripley.

Barely worth it for 3miles of country roads, A38 is just a straight dual carriageway.

Ann's got a hangover, and we're lazing about in bed having not packed yet, and I've bee working all night. Boo!

So, we'll not be ready for lunch. Therefore, go without us, and we'll meet you all at R&B.

Sorry!

hurrah! How much fun did we have? Finally made it off the field after about 1hr 15mins (I'm not joking there was an accident outside and then the organisation was carp ). Had a good run home. This afternoon I have been mostly washing mud off all my wordly goods and me . Had a fantastic time , big thanks to everyone for sharing so generously. Hope you all had a good run home. Need an early night now to catch up!

We got back just fine too - have downloaded the pics form the camera - some really good ones on there

The weekend was really good - and for anyone who has not seen The Australian Pink Floyd Show, go and see them. With out question the best out door set I have ever seen, and I have seen lots!

Overall a great weekend, although a little damp on Thursday - I will put some photos online when I work out how to drive this whole internet thing.

Had a brilliant time and made some new friends. Think the mud and rain just made it more fun.

Should have some good pics to put up.

Roger and I both had a brilliant time - glad you all got home safely... Jon was leaving muddy tyre tracks around every corner!

We've done about three loads of washing in an attempt to remove all the mud, but my boots are still booogered.



for the Australian Pink Floyd Show, they were amazing (even if Jon was far too drunk to really appreciate the music, he has good memories of "pretty flashing lights").

See you all next year
