Frogchod Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I've found my tent exactly where I left it. It's been up in a barn loft for around three years. Probably not been used for over 15 years. Suppose I'd better check it for mouse holes next weekend. If it's raining it'll get it's first outing on the 7th... Saabnut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatharris Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Still haven't taken the tent out of the shed yet. Too drizzly. Sure it'll be fine. twosmoke300 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skattrd Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I wouldn't say no to a shot of pastis, please, thank you, merci. I'm still not definite for this but currently my only legal and running vehicle is the Cherokee, so about erm, £130 or so in pez for the roundtrip. On the plus side, I think it's big enough for me to kip in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saabnut Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I will bring a very nice, very limited edition and very cask strength single malt to keep the pastis company! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsinthewelder Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 On the plus side I test erected my teepee last night and it was still intact, lets see how it survives 3 nights of full occupancy in Wales. I'm still hoping to be in attendance but will be a sorry sight with 3 kids and a mk2 Focus unless their mum pulls her finger out and returns the 405 ready for its 3rd SF.

catsinthewelder Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 No MOT at the moment and very little tinkering time. I know I'd theoretically have some if I didn't go camping but I'd probably end up working if I don't get myself away. Just to add to the fun the electrical gremlin that wobbling the fuse used to eventually cure has returned and it's harder to wobble the new blade fuse. Nothing is written in stone, I'd love to bring it but FotU is the meet I'm working towards. Six-cylinder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 450 mile round trip. Is that a bit of a stretch to come down for a few hours? Got a feeling I may be over stretching it slightly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 700 round trip for a weekend for me. That's without accounting for picking up richbraith, Ghosty and diverting by Luton on the way back. I would say that's fine mate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chatsharris Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Could we not fix it at sf then present it for a test on Sunday? Like a group project thing?We should buy a fucked motor on the Friday, then spend the weekend fixing it up and then draw straws as to who gets it tested on the Monday.

wuvvum Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 So when are people thinking of arriving at this 'ere knees-up? My original plan was to drive down Friday morning, arrive lunchtime-ish, then bugger off Saturday evening and spend the night with my folks in Somerset before driving home on the Sunday, but if that means I'm going to miss most of the shenanigans I might have to rethink.
