There will be lanes suitable for standard and modified trucks. Im arranging 3 routes, none are particularly difficult but as always the possibility of damage exists on any lanes and the possibility of scratches is always present.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!

:drink: me never :oops:

The ball and chain,tent + bugs + a little bit of mud = something that would scare the devil. She still thinks that Wales is for the green party to save...


she's blonde, she once tried to save whales but they began to make the shed smell, so her dad made her throw them out.

true story..

we went to spain a couple of years back.
We were a bit short of pounds(for the cab when we got home)...so she went to a cash point and came back with a handfull of euro's.
She said "I tried 3 times to get english money out of that and it kept giving me this (euros)"
I said "what did you expect a spanish cashpoint to give you"
she said "it says HSBC on it"

I slept in the fronty at the march weekend it was ok nice and warm just left it on tickover with heater on half an hour before i went in

Right, With currently 11 folk signed up and 3 possibles can we have a show of confirmations please.

We will also need volunteer leaders for the groups. Ideally 4 or 5 apart from myself which will give us a backup leader or 2 just in case anything untoward happens.

Also I want to know what time everyone is thinking of rolling in on Friday and what days everyone is planning to attend. Im going to arrange payment up front on arrival if possible this time as the campsite ladies maths arent very good.

Ta folks ;-)
