Make it later Ray. The site isn't open to campers till 5.
Yes I know I'm aiming for 4, but I don't know what the others are like with riding fully laden... so it's to allow for extra stops for them.

Ok well due to an oversight on shift patterns, I'll be going up on the friday, pitching the tent with you folks and then heading back to pick up Sandy who won't finish work until later that night. Then head back in the morning for all the fun and festivities.  Steve, If you want a tent for the friday night then you can crash in ours as it will be free. Dave, Nick and whoever else is tagging along, On the way up there you are more than welcome to meet at my house and I'll knock up some bacon sarnies and tea before heading up to Gaydon. It's about 45 mins run from there. Just let me know so I can figure how much bacon I need to shoplift. 
Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"

there will be a sheep in the field - subject to the weather... if it's sunny Shaun is going. He's getting a bit fussy about the weather he goes out in these days... And I'll see if I can get some magnetic stuff and make some stick on Triumph badges to hide the s word...

So if anyone with a WHITE ticket wants to pitch by us, look for the car with the boot up!!! Once Jane & Keith arrives I will come home and get bike!!! Sad I know, but only 9 mins away!!!!! Or my mobile is: 07944 255715.
See you all tomorrow, and ride safe!!

Have a great time in the White zone whilst I enjoy the solitude of the Billy Nomates meadow with the woolly backs in the loney, distant Green zone.
Did you tell them I had chopped my Bonnie in for a T'bird?

Talking of getting lost, think i lost the thread to this site!!!! 
Now i have finished dusting off my halo - corse the fact the parents told me there could be beer involved in the giving of the spare camping ticket to the "big bother" had nothing to do with it!!! 
Keith being tempted by bacon butties - will go anywhere for food! 
Don't we get fluffy sheep in the white field? 
i have a bandit to hide!!
