Somewhere between 4 and 12 depending upon whats in packet
Not desparate like but if you happen to stumble on some
Just saw them somewhere and thought they would be handy - had I bought them
Reckon It will be an early start on the friday for us, just remind me what time we have to be at the station? I'd rather leave early and stop along the way for a brew
My paperwork is at the office, but I think we need to be there just after 12. It's about 3.45 hrs from here, so maybe we should set off at about 8ish, then again as it's good Friday, maybe we should allow another 1/2 hr
More to the point.... how early do you want to get up
Funny isn't it - I get up at 5.15am in order to commute to work yet on a day off with something interesting to do that times seems scary
It's going to take me around 30mins to get to yours from J15?
So long as we have some contingency time in hand - I'll guess at leaving around 6.45am from here - not sure if the motorway will be better or worse given its a B/H.
I am actually off on the Thursday too though so could go the day before and camp nr Dungeness or something. Easy either way
I'm trying to change some things around at work, Thursday could be an easier day for travel. I'll let you know later
Oh, and no joy with the groundsheet pegs yesterday, bl**dy cr*p show
I did think about going to that show but the nipper had a school outing - lucky escape then
I'll hack a few metal pegs down for the groundsheet - a few quid saved
I don't mind too much either way on the travel, let me know when you do and we can ID a campsite if needed
I've been checking out the weather
I think we had better go well wrapped. Looks like max 7 or and min 0 to 3.
only good thing is it will be warmer than the UK - chance of snow as artic winds blow in from the north.
I went to decathalon today and was going to buy a tarp but spent the money on a beach shelter for the wife and boy instead
Looks like the tarp might have been useful
I did pic up a childs fold up chair which is small enough for the bike and big enough for me - should be useful next to the camp fires. I'm going to take waterproof trousers and warm jacket
Cheers for the link - it helps explain whats going on
bobble, I see the road route will have 5% off road. Perhaps we could do this on the sat and the easy off road on Sunday depending upon conditions. That way we will get caked in mud etc the day towards the end of the weekend rather than the start
I went to Decathlon straight after work, guess what I bought?......... yep, a TARP
somewhere dry to sit
Hey good man
I've just downloaded the road routes for the meet etc. from the link above.
Also had a quick look at campsites nr the tunnel. If you've never been before we could get down to Lydd pitch up and take a short ride around Dungeness. I used to go there a lot, well worth the visit if you've never been. 20 miles from the tunnel so easy job in the morning and would mean a fresh face for the Friday.
I'll check here tomorrow to see what the plan is
Did I ever tell you that I don't really like cold weather
