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

[rml2345]

Looks like I'll be Saturday only for this due to other commitments but still coming.

BRING IT OAN M9S!

[Guest Hooli]

There is a possibility I'll be in the ex-SiC Saab rather than on the bike (depends on my other half's health) so ready for a major* prep session I've parked 2ft further back on the drive so it's level. Means I can check the oil when I do the tyre pressures.

 

Bike needs a wash to get approx 1/2 ton of midge off the front of it as they weigh so much they affect the handling!

Myself and Ghosty have our place to park up for the night on Thursday thanks to Bavarian retro! 130 miles from Tebay, 133 miles from shitefest!

[davidfowler2000]

Bavarianretro is just down the road from where I am now. That said I'll be kipping in the new gaff in the city centre of Glasgow about 10 miles down the road as I had promised sloth_in_a_bowl the use of the second bedroom as recompense for using his back bedroom the time we went to the Electric Train Museum.

[Ghosty]

Scottish convoy?

[beko1987]

Sounds like we should schlep up the road to Glasgow for breakfast doesn't it...

[beko1987]

Infact Dave, I could drop your dyson off on the way, one less thing to lug to shitefest for both of us!

 

Then you can show me a good Scottish fry up!

[AnthonyG]

Sadly family commitments mean I can’t make the trip up now - hope everyone has a good time and maybe see some of you at the Festival of the Unexceptional/Field of Dreams in July.

[beko1987]

Oh that's a shame, you won't see your old dyson being given to Mr fowler!

[Bucketeer]

A proper shame that is Anthony.

That sounds like a cracker idea however, given that I've not actually moved in yet, cooking supplies at the flat are limited so we may have to wander along to 'Spoons in the city for a breakfast. There's a little Tesco Local at the top of the road so I'll see what I can do.

 

Myself and cms206 usually rock up at Shitefests at about 1500hrs therefore we'll not be leaving 'till lunchtime as we're not bothering with the scenic route. I don't know what Mr _bowl will be doing regarding routes north.

 

So itsupty yous.

Wasn't expecting you to lay the table, was expecting to find a cafe but it's one less thing for us to have sat in the field moving from car to car, especially if we will only be 10 miles away! Myself and Ghosty don't really have any plans so we're easy!

[cms206]

I'm up for a breakfast or whatevs on the way up, still not sure what I'm taking though!

[Guest Hooli]

Lidl has cheap camping gear in this week for those who are planning in advance*

Ok then how about you all head to my new gaff for about 9. Drop stuff off then we can walk in to the city centre. There's 2 Wetherspoons near Central station, about 20 - 25 mins slow walk away. Do breakfast then walk back for our transport. Those doing the scenic route can do that, I'm doing the direct route so I can afford to kick about until lunchtimeish

[Ghosty]

I'm tempted to go direct as I've managed to misplace £100 cash so the fuel saving would be welcome.

[beko1987]

Yea im not fully up for the scenic route, want to just get there, plus fuel as Ghosty said.

 

Breakfast plans sound good to me though! I'll buy you breakfast max! If it's spoons I'll have that rolling around in the coin holder in the car!

[Supernaut]

I checked my garden shed earlier this evening.

 

I do indeed still have some charcoal and kindling for my barbecue.

[beko1987]

I've just washed my car! When did I buy it, November? First wash! Most of it was crap from when it snowed, and lots and lots of moss! Bollocks to drying it though, didn't even clay it,

[Bucketeer]

Due to the appalling management at my place of work, I have now not got Friday off. This means setting off up North straight after work (6-7pm). It's a 10hr drive so I should be rocking up about 5am Saturday, just in time to point Mat the Cat in the direction of his bed.

Make sure you spin him around 3 times before doing so

Does that time allow for numerous piss stops?  I'm afflicted by peanut bladder syndrome, so need to stop every 2-3 hours which is a tad annoying.

 

I also need to buy a car in the next couple of days as Mrs T is using the Cavalier next weekend, and the Rover has developed a few more creaks and groans from the front end.  Will probably be alright but I don't want to kill another Ronda within the space of two months...

[Flat4]

If I had a spare day to get to Shitefest say leaving from Glasgow. I would take a totally crazy and impractical route (surely the A.S. way?) as detailed below. Very scenic in bits

Has this route been decided on yet? I have also had to change my plans and need to head home on Sunday evening unfortunately which means it's be a faff and a half bringing the caravan for 2 nights. Going to take the camper instead so probably more suited to a scenic drive.

 

Ellon Indoor Market?I was wandering around in there again the other week, while getting the tyres sorted.

Can we go to both please?!

2-3 hours? If only I could last that long.

 

Do you want a loan of a car to take to SF Rob?

[captain_70s]

The world's worst tent has landed.

 

 

The cotton inner is badly mildewed/damp stained. I've tried various solutions to no avail, at some point I need to drive to the supermarket and buy some white vinegar once rush hour finishes... I'm just going to leave it up to air/dry out. 

[captain_70s]

Just been woken up by the police.

 

"Do you know anything about a tent?"

 

Apparently somebody phoned it in as they thought somebody was squatting in the yard. My tent is so shite it attracted police attention within 6 hours of arrival...

[Saabnut]

It will fit in well here then!

[beko1987]

Strap it to the roof of your car whilst erected, it'll air itself out on the drive up...
