  1. Steph's just tested the next one up. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iIELV7mh3r0
  2. I can't see the bike being an issue on the track up to the field so long as its not being noisy for too long or late (there is a next door neighbour). I've been thinking about Saturday activities. I imagine a few folk will want to go to Cosford RAF museum which is about 40 minutes away and only charges for parking so it'll make sense to car share. @Scruffy Bodger is kindly trying to arrange a blacksmithing demonstration in the next village, parking there is a bit limited so again, car sharing would make sense. Train fans have a bit of a choice, the SVR runs from Bridgnorth and there's a cliff railway too. Alternatively Telford Steam Railway is a bit more Autoshite, likely to be cheaper and I could have a word about doing a group thing as I used to volunteer there years ago. For the active types the campsite is at the bottom of the biggest hill in Shropshire if you want to walk/run/cycle up. There's a bit of industrial heritage up there but including the pub would make it a long walk. Or.....There are canoe/kayak hire companies that put you in a boat in Bridgnorth and fish you out downstream and hand you a ticket to get back on the SVR. I did it last year with work and really enjoyed it despite falling in. This needs booking a week or two beforehand. Obviously you can also just chill on site and wait for the hangover to subside or find something else to do.
  3. I know what you mean, I've done my 405 behind this house (after driving a van up and down it the day before). Helpfully fixed by Darren the blacksmith a few posts above.
  4. Wouldn't that make the bottles of Bud rather warm? Its bad enough cold.
  5. @mat_the_cat It's not that bad, I've been up there in the Focus dozens of times. Might be a bit tricky with lowered/sporty stuff. Likewise on the width, I've been up there in plenty of vans but they tend to brush the hedges a bit. I was there when a 7.5t truck arrived with the heating oil and the fact he got stuck was only because he went off the side of the hardstanding! I'll definitely be up there a week before Shitefest but not sure if I will between now and then.
  6. He's a good bloke is Darren, he's the fella who welded the Jinling gearbox back together. One thing to bear in mind when choosing what to bring is the track to the field. It's a lot better than it used to be but is a bit bumpy and the hedges can get a bit close (I'll try to swing by with the shears beforehand). I've edited the first post with detailed location information so its easy to find.
  7. Only one slightly negative point was that me and the chap I sold a ticket to had screenshotted and printed out the QR codes from the tickets. When we got there the guys on the gate didn't have a scanner and needed to see a different part of the ticket so we were madly scrolling through old emails to find the right information (helped by the free WiFi). This is massively outweighed by how helpful you all were about swapping a ticket round a couple of days before and how brilliant the show was.
  8. Rightio, the nagging has paid off and I've got it booked. Location is my mates field/woods/campsite near Bridgnorth in Shropshire. Should be quite reasonably priced so long as we tidy up afterwards. https://www.powkesmoreholding.co.uk/ Edit #1 Lets make the location easy to find. What3 words to the entrance. ///bungalows.next.windmills Which looks like this The open one on the left. From above. Access is from Ashfield Road, the track marked on Google heading South East doesn't exist as far as I know. Further out.
  9. Can't find the thread just now but just got confirmation that 12-14th of July (same weekend as last year) is Shitefest weekend.
  10. @dollywobbler Please do a roadtest of that ^^ 🙏
  11. I can see the use of AI for medical research but it just seems to make life worse in every other way. I'm just glad it can't take my job (because no intelligence is required).
  12. Glad someone took a picture of the possibly amphibious weird camper.
  13. More fittys from indoors. I wondered if it was ex GPO due to the epic pogweasling and you can just make out the ghosts of post bus lettering on the side. Ford Escorts from either side of the Atlantic Well done for making the journey @juular Tempted to go back for one of these Loving the security sticker. Little and large
  14. These were in the regular carpark, spotted on the way back to @MondeoBlues wonderful 960. We got nattering to the owner of this Renault Rodeo, hes had a proper job getting it back on the road after "doing a Barrett" ( buying a plastic car thats rusty as fuck). Fit stuff from indoors The 2nd oldest all Vauxhall's are shit The owner of this is a proper legend, it's been on a road trip up to the arctic circle towing a trailer! Love the TR2 Local to home (River simple used to be based in Ludlow)
