Yes indeed. Arriving Friday lunch time and packing up Sunday. Sarah may bring the car so we can have a "mother ship" tent, or we may both come on the bike and have the little tent depending on weather. Either way, we will be there.

The cider is great, and the catering is super value. Overall a cracking weekend.

The catering really is cracking value for money. Last year there was nothing but positive feedback. Just the thing for the discerning Tosser with a healthy appetite.

The brew at the Banham Barrel is lovely too, and the entertainment usually good fun. Well worth a punt.

Matt

I'm in

Bump, It's next weekend

Hi folks,

I was at Banham today, as we ran through the Saturday ride-out. It will suit Tossers as there is lunch and afternoon tea on offer, so it would be rude not to go!

The site is looking as good as ever, and I think we must have used up all the rain in Norfolk today so it should be lovely next weekend

Matt

We'll be there. Booking in post (forgot to remeber to send - d'oh)

Would like to come on the Saturday trail ride if that's ok, not able to stay over. Have been up a few times to ride with you guys but it's been a while.

If you take day-trippers, let me know where to meet. Ta.

Your welcome to come along as a day visitor, or camp (Plenty of space available, Rideouts leave by 10 am, hope to see you there
