All very impromptu, here's the outline.
Oldrat identified that Sammy Miller's is having an Italian bike day this Sunday, so we're both heading off to that. https://sammymiller.co.uk/event/italian-bike-day/
As we're going to be in that neck of the woods and as the weather looks peachy, why not go down on the Saturday, have a chilled ride and camp in the New Forest, have a bit of an evening, and then ride to Miller's on Sunday for the event?
Sounds like a bit of a plan.
Ok the detail (there's not much)!
Because it's summer, all the NF camp sites will be open, but will be busy so will require a full weekend booking if we book in advance. So rather than pay for 2 nights when only one might be needed, the plan is to call a few sites on Saturday morning and find one with capacity for the Saturday evening. If we fail at that, there is always the Seven Stars at Wool where they have acres of space, and they always seem pleased to see us. https://sevenstars.co.uk/ We'll choose somewhere camper-van friendly.
A Whatsapp group of potential attendees would be alerted early on Sat morning once the venue is confirmed.
Saturday night can be pub grub or possibly a BBQ (we'll probably have the kit for that) and definitely a few beers and a chat. We could even have a live video call with our mates at Sid's to see how they are doing!
If you're at a loose end this weekend and this currently sounds like the least bad idea, let us know and then DM myself with your mobile number so you can be added to a Whatsapp group for the event. Because we're not really booking anything, there's no obligation even if you change plans on the day.
Anyone up for a mini-mini-adventure?
