That just leaves where and when to meet?

No problem, heaving 250kg's of dead iron out of deep water isn't exactl;y my idea of a good time either....

It is the deep mud that is more worrying.

Helped drag this young lad on a DT125 out of a deep mud filled pool.

He decided to go in without thinking.

It was up to his exhaust and very deep silt like mud.

It took four of us with a tow rope to drag the bike out.

Luckily the bike started and he went on his way.

An easy RV point is Burbridges Bakery in Andover (155 Weyhill Road, Andover, SP10 3BH); it's a minute or so from the main A303 interchange & a petrol station so everyone can top up with fuel. Plus, there's a cracking byway that Mav & I started at a few mins ride away......but I'll be happy just to hooly around with all.

Can there also be a fuel stop planned with the lunch stop, as my KTM only has a small fuel tank

I'm sure it's purely coincidental that chocolate Danish can be purchased at said rendezvous point

Really? What a stroke of luck......if it's open on a Sunday

That sounds good to me, it works whether I come down the A34 or off the M3.

Wheels roll c/w pastries at 9:30, is this okay with everyone?

OK with me.....I may even stay over on the Saturday night so I can avoid leaving @ 06.00 on Sunday morning.....

Make sure your Go Pro's & cameras are charged

FYI.....Burbridges bakery isn't open on a sunday......but there is a McDonalds near the interchange roundabout where one can purchase a double sausage & egg mcmuffin, hash brown & cappoo

Just out of interest.......does anyone fancy camping on the Sat night? I can make enquiries with the Bell Inn @ Weyhill (where the Hog Raost will be on the 4th July)......if the camping is a goer, could be a cheeky opportunity to have a few hours on the Sat afternoon on the plains....double the fun!!!!!

This is sounding like a great weekend!!! If you lot can put up with another 1150 GSA on Tourances i'd be up for a bit of fun on the plains. Not sure about camping on Sat though, could be up for meeting on Sunday

Camping wouldn't be an option for me but if you wanted to share a twin room bounce that could be good as I'm in Banbury on Saturday so was going to get up early and ride from either reading or Oxford.

Good idea.....I'm OK with that

There's a Premier Inn near the interchange, next to McD's for brekkie

Do I need ear plugs?

I guess you will probably arrive before me so do you want to book it?

No ear plugs required

I'll make enquiries.......

With yourself that could put us at 7, so it comes down to the outcome of Bounce asking is mate at the hog roast.

I'll be seeing Stevie @ the Hog Raost so will see if I can pre-book a parking space @ his manor, and he might be back from Iceland by then so he may well like to go & play

It then might be better to split into a 4 and 3 with a gap in between meeting up for brews and lunch?

Though with around a month to go there is usually some attrition, perhaps see what happens on the day and what the actual number is?

 

[Bounce]

7 in a group is no drama on the plains....plenty of space to see one another & follow

And lots of opportunities for piccies/video too......I'll pray for some nice weather as well

 

[Mav]

I've been shafted by work so won't be able to make this anymore

Sorry chaps

Novice GS friendly is good.....your welcome to join us James. I think we are potentially at 6.

 

[speedfour4]

Ok sounds good to me is the plan to still meet at the bakery and head off from there, I'm heading down from chippenham if anyone else is going that way,

I think so, although I'm going to go to muck d's for a bit of muffin munching.
