- Thread starter twizzle
- Start date
It’s a possibility for me, but depends on location and date as I’ve a trip to Biarritz planned around Easter time.
Just because you found a fancy sign doesn’t mean you’re right 
Sorry - I didn't explain that very well.
Lumb Farm isn't geographically the middle of the UK, but it's a reasonable compromise when considering the need for a large-ish pub that does food, has plenty of parking, camping possible, and is at least an equally awkward place to get to for the vast majority of whiney cry-babies who don't like riding more than 50 miles at a time...
(I used to do an annual get-together there for another forum)
Only 400 miles for me.Sorry - I didn't explain that very well.

In for 50 , in for 550
Right then, so we have enough interest to start getting funky….
Just need to agree a location…. Centre of GB vs centre of Englandshire…
Me I don’t care… early starts, long miles … no probs. ( I live on central south coast, only 67 miles by sea to France…. So it’s all north to me….)

France, now there’s a thought, how about meeting up in Portsmouth, everyone getting on the overnight ferry to say St Malo (a jolly evening for all), a couple of days tootling around Brittany, then repeat for the ferry back to blighty?.
I’m heading out to Josselin and Vannes in the next hour. Should I warm them..?
watching with interest... but no commitment at this time!

"mainland" ? ? I've heard this several times and wondered what it is . . . . . . . .
This is what Ordnance Survey has to say on the subject

We live on the "mainland' Luke, offshore Islands don't count.
Same as that Marcus, watching with interest. Feck the camping idea though....Might make a "Foreign" trip out of it if the timings suit.
I would be up for that
If mine is rebuilt by then im up for it
I'd bloody hope so by Spring
Ok, so my plan is still find a meeting place for coffee and a Bacon sarnie - "in the middle" - i'll be going to Spain in 2024 - so will politely skip the trip around Normandy/Brittany
as for the " middle" lets go Middle of our Great Islands - rather then Middle of Englandshire....
Happy for locations/places to be suggested then we can lock a location and a date - will be a Saturday Luchtime IMO - given people a morning to get there from far flung fields - i'll probably get a B& B nearby and head home Sunday - i cannot be arsed to organise group camping/hotels/etc - but if somebody else wants to.......
