Event Shitefest 7th -9th June 2019

[The Moog]

Is it worth changing the thread title to reflect the date?

Done

[cms206]

He should be used to it now, it's his own fault for not preparing in advance. We even turned up at your office last year!

Try not to do that this year, it'll be a bit of a long way for a shortcut.

Accommodation booked, I am staying here honest!

[loserone]

Our current plan is to get off the ferry at 7pm on the Saturday and drive home in one.

 

We may now get a hotel (after two weeks camping round France) and visit on Sunday morning before returning in one..

Blimey, that was quick.

 

Was Crediton Tool Hire shop, recently now a bikers' (Think of older professionals not biker gang) cafe cum b&b,Probably a lot better than it looks, next door to reputable car sales. I'll enquire about it, nothing untoward reported so far. Opposite Crediton Parish Church built in red stone, not Devon red sandstone as many think but a local volcanic rock. Wetherspoons about 400m up the road. Crediton can have an interesting* night life.

Can this be pinned again please ?

Moto Velo looks a bit different now.

 

There were several decent looking b&b around, but this looked the most interesting.

That looks good now

I drove past 6cylinder's chosen habitation about 10 this morning; it does look a lot smarter than his first picture; the door to the left was open and full of motorbikes, and there was a non biker heading for the entrance.  I'll go and try out the cafe soon'ish.   About 5 miles from SF19.

 

"Crittol Windows" - good job it's June not January, but you will still get the full benefit of road noise on the A377

[dozeydustman]

This may be difficult for me to attend to but hopefully not impossible.

[davidfowler2000]

In a similiar (read exactly) situation to SF18, SF19 does not fall on my long weekend or my annual leave but there appears to be a vacancy in the holiday block that can manage it. I shall give crew plan a phone / email at some point this week to enquire.

[Kringle]

Haven't voted as I will just swap any date to be off, not far from me. I'll go in that panda.

Nae point voting. Date chosen!

Plum, too quick with the tappety tap and couldn't be bothered to read the bloody thread title.

One moment I can't got to shitefest

 

 

 

 

The next I can!

 

 

Pending anything going horribly wrong in my life in the next 6 months of course!

He still goes on about chasing rabbits in the avensis. I don't trust him driving a manual. Yes I was also having kittens. Not so much about hitting any hay bale but I was rather concerned about me six cylinders car parked up!

It'd have been fine* the structural plastic bull bar would have negated any impacts.

[chaseracer]

I was quite relaxed - and I was in the car!

Safer than Bub driving?

[bub2006]

Shut up you slapper

[Supernaut]

I was just looking at the most stupid route I could take to this from Aberdeen.

 

I came up with this:

 

- Drive from Aberdeen to Cairnryan

- Get ferry from Cairnryan to Belfast

- Drive from Belfast to Dublin

- Get ferry from Dublin to Cherbourg

- Get ferry from Cherbourg to Bournemouth

- Drive from Bournemouth to Exeter

 

 

Perfectly* logical*

[beko1987]

Do it!

[anonymous user]

The only suggestion to improve* Supernaut's choice of route, that I can think of would be to include the sale and purchase of different vehicles for the stages of the route. Sell Scottish car in Ireland, buy Irish car to sell in France, buy French car to sell in England and then do the same on the way home.

[anonymous user]

Damn I missed one out, sell Scottish car in Belfast, buy car there and then sell that one in Dublin and buy another there to sell in France.

Bumhats, that's the one weekend I can't do

 

Have lots of fun while I'm walking a marathon!

[wuvvum]

I might book myself into some accommodation this year.  Unless I bring the LDV I probably won't have anything big enough to kip in comfortably, and I think my days of sleeping* in a tent are numbered.  I have friends in Honiton who could probably put me up for the weekend, but that's still a bit of a trek.

[mat_the_cat]

Unless I bring the LDV

 

Why would you even consider bringing anything less?

 

Bumhats, that's the one weekend I can't do

 

That's a shame - it would have even been within riding distance perhaps?

[mitsisigma01]

I'd love to see a cross channel ferry pulling up on Bournemouth beach

[hairnet]

P and o wouldn't
