Just found out that I have the 21st and 22nd off, but have to work a late on the Sunday, so will get a ticket for the Sat, and if anyone fancies meeting up on the friday at a local pub, or fib about where I am sleeping ! so I can come in to say hello  Steve, don't know if it is just you or you and Sarah, but either way you are more than welcome to crash here (6 min from Gaydon) we have sofa's and airbeds which ever you prefer.

I have a spare ticket and space in the tent if anyone needs it. My mate is bringing his car and all the comforts of camping that that brings..Big tent, Proper cookset. Comfy chairs etc. We are smokers, fart a lot and eat plates full of dead animals for breakfast ..so not for the healthy living types... Let me know soon if you are interested..Paul

Plan A:
Jahel will come and get me if I want to drink, and drop me off early on Sat morning (7am!!!)
Plan B,
If anyone is camping in a small tent and doesn't mind sharing, I have a several big tents, full cooking stand, and may even be able to supply some beds!! So you wouldn't have to carry lots of gear down/up (only your sleeping bag)!! Only draw back: I am told I snore!! As I would need to run that lot up in car, I could bring a few packs of beer as well (bribery or what!  )

I can only agree as my lil sis is now coming with me. she´s got a big tent,all the gear and is following me up in the car from Luton.
Which means that i don´t have to cart everything over from Germany

I was wondering about the meeting up thing... the only problem is that we're coming from all over the place... I'm wondering about getting there, booking in, and then waiting in a corner till more of you guys get there. However, I'm riding up with the TOMCC guys from down here, and I suspect they'll wanna get their tents up and off to the bar.... if you al aim to get there for 430 - like we are - the3n I'm sure we'll find each other...

Went out for a ride today and thought I would see how far it is from the Heritage Centre to the M40 - Exactly 1 mile!
Also went to collect my camping ticket from Jane this evening - Yippee
But it got me wondering: What colour camping tickets has everyone got?
Mine and Jane's are white - which means we are in the field opposite the Heritage Centre!

Oh great.... I dunno what colour we have... but does that mean the whole camping together thing isn't gonna happen??? I could say I'm ok as I booked for the tomcc people.... but biz is riding up with us and he didn't even have a bike when i booked them. I might make a phone call tomorrow....

I don't know, it was just that it said on the back of the ticket that "this WHITE ticket means you are camping in the field opposite the entrance" or something like that, left ticket in car and can't remember exact wording. It just got me to thinking maybe there were different colours, so thought I would ask.

My mate breads/keeps/shows sheep as a hobby (I know - weird) and I keep telling him he has an unhealthy relationship with his flock! Will borrow his double strapped velcro sheep dippin' welly boots for a couple of nights of romance in the meadow with the woolly back of my dreams.
Can't wait

In no rusg Paul, but if we set off here and keep stopping for a smoke etc etc, we should be there for around 2pm, but I dont think they open the campsite until later anyway....
We may even meet later if the campsite opens late....
