Event Shitefest 2018 (U.K.) Chez Saabnut 9-10th june

[Sloth in a bowl]

If Conrad turns up in his mini. He is officially a shitefest hero.

[davidfowler2000]

The only way that could be beaten would be if wobbler turned up in the Invacar.

Just realised this festival of Chod is North of the Border.

 

If Rover McRoverface passes his MOT next month and isn't a cube by then, I'll be there.

 

Is the format all day Sunday, stay over and meander off on the Monday? It shall be daylight until a spectacular time that far north.

 

I'd also be travelling from just North of Glasgow so if any shiters can get to Glasgow (or even Edinburgh) airport, train or bus stations on the cheap I'd be happy to give a lift from there.

I'm bloody working all weekend - other folk had already booked the week off before I put in my request

Sounds like you'll be mysteriously ill that weekend then.

 

A particularly graphic description of your symptoms should help put any suspicious bosses off the scent.

Go up Friday. Overnight. All day Saturday. Overnight. Some of Sunday. Drive home.

Go up Friday. Overnight. All day Saturday. Overnight. Some of Sunday. Drive home.

 

Or for those of us south of the border, drive for several days, arrive Friday. Overnight. All day Saturday. Overnight. Try not to think about how far away home is. Some of Sunday and the following few days. Drive home.

What wobbler said! I have Thurs to weds off work, so my plan is to leave Thursday and go to the midlands, stay at Bub's, then leave Friday morning for the long schlep. Then leave Sunday late, might book a halfway Travelodge and get to my dad's on Monday, kip over then home on Tuesday!

 

Or something like that

[davidfowler2000]

Yous are all making it sound far away

[dollywobbler]

Are you going to tell us it's just very small?

[beko1987]

Don't forget you svm lot are used to it, you pop to London for a set of radio speakers, or ports mouth for a bus... I'm lucky if I can be arsed to drive 25 miles to work in the morning

[bub2006]

Anyone got a tent for sale silly cheap? Hard to sleep in a trike!

Just remember that if there's seagulls / sound of the waves / laughing / or other general shite in the background of your call about being so ill you cannot get to work, your boss 'might' not believe you....

Decathlon probably will do you alright.

A mate suggested the Tamar 2 man from Blacks to me as well, they're about £40.

Bunch of wussy poofnuggets aren't they?

Bub, I can bring a spare tent with me no problem.

Put a gazeboo over it & you'll be fine

[bub2006]

That would work!

[bub2006]

I need to buy one at some point buddy anyway.

[M'coli]

What size of tent are you after?

[bub2006]

Ideally one I can stand in as crouching and crawling is a pain in arse cos of me disabilities. I am also keeping an eye out for a trailer tent also.

This is why it's crap that autorail is no longer a thing in the UK.

[beko1987]

If you find an tent beforehand and need space I don't intend to take a metric fuck load of stuff this year due to the distance required, and if I'm kipping at yours Thursday night you can have car space for stuff that's too big for your tricycle. Will probably come home via yours too as I'll want the M1 to Northampton or the a1 to Peterborough depending on my flip of the coin, both of those go near yours I imagine

[bub2006]

I will be doing no more than 55-60 for a steady run so scenic way may be an option?!

[beko1987]

Fine by me, will bump my mpg up, and I'll not be in a big rush, if we leave early enough on Friday we can make a day of it. Nice country pub for lunch, romantic dinner then arrive at shitefest!

 

Would need shopping en route though for breakfast Saturday morning, but I don't plan on doing that far from the destination.

 

Are you midlands lot organizing a convoy?

[bub2006]

Sounds nice especially the romantic dinner Hun x

Let you know though I'm not an easy type to put out on a first date

[beko1987]

You'll be fine, the rohypnol will take care of that.

 

Do you know the 'scenic route' from yours though? I have no idea but choosing avoid highways on Google maps added only 40 miles but the added about 5 hours travel time...

 

Could I not tow you? I'd keep it below a ton...

[davehedgehog31]

Sorry, don't know where I got the idea those dates were Sunday, Monday - It did seem a bit odd to me.

 

I will confirm attendance 100% in the next week or so. I know a grand total of 0 shiters so will be good to meet some.

[Sloth in a bowl]

My current plan was to drive part way on Thursday after work and find a cheap B&B somewhere near the Scottish boarder. Then back on the road & get to Aberdeen for Friday lunch.

 

If I was doing the whole thing on Friday then it would need a dawn start.

[dollywobbler]

I still have no idea what my plans are. We've no idea when we're getting back from the Bulgaria trip.
