That's a shame @LightBulbFun I was looking forward to meeting you. Don't worry you won't have to pay for any accommodation you don't use and if anything changes at your end it sounds as though  @beko1987 would pick you up and there'll still be a bed for you.

Looks like @BL Bloke might have the accommodation to himself but that's not a problem either.

indeed I was really quite looking forward to my first shitefest, especially as it looks to be quite the turn out!, (I have also never been to Wales before, Or Scotland for that matter)

I was even wondering if I could get REV there and back on the back of a trailer or such

I had an idea in my head that if I got her back in time, with possibly meeting up with a shitter who has a trailer once im out of the London scary zone, and plopping REV on the back for the rest of 6 hour drive (that way I dont have to worry about an un-proven reliability record or lack of driving experience)

I also liked this idea as it gave me some means of personal transport, and something to fall back on should everything else go south!

but its all a bit irrelevant now

 

some day ill make it to a shitefest, im sure people know by now just how stubbornly determined I can be!

this'll be my 1st shitefest / meeting...have met a few members before- Ceri, Inspector Morose and Mr&Mrs 6c, as well as Cavcraft in another life (LOL) so I am both excited and Bricking it...

I hope all goes well with mothers op..

[Cord Fourteener]

This will be my first too!

Likewise I've met a few folks but nice to meet more. And nice to bring the kids camping and nice for it to be close to me of course.

I'll put dibs on any spare space in the chalet if it comes to it, then.

[hairnet]

shitefest 22 just turned into a long holiday

not quite how it planned but meh

heres hoping i can ride the bike

[Sunny Jim]

@Supernautand anyone else who might be interested in off-site accommodation. The accommodation is 20 minutes drive from the site at my place of work. It's a three bed cottage and now that Lightbulbfun has had to drop out there are two ensuite rooms available with @BL Blokein the third. The cost is £25 for the two nights.

If we give Supernaut dibs on a room there's one still up from grabs; first come, first served.

At one of the Field of Dreamseses last year, myself and @Inspector Moroseheld an impromptu TV Theme quiz that went down quite well. Could do that again.

[bezzabsa]

my attendance is hanging by a thread - caused by hot start shenanigans by the van, also throwing its self into limp mode...

bought code reader thingy and its throwing EGR fault..even tho its blanked..so may need deleting from ECU, and looking increasingly posible I need to sell a kidney to purchase a set of injectors!

[Lacquer Peel]

Can I join in - both nights, sleeping in van. 

[sdkrc]

I'd also like to join Saturday night, sleeping in my car

[Sunny Jim]

Yarp! Of course 😁

[maxxo]

i personally have no idea which vehicle i shall be attending in

now the XM, seems to run well enough but needs a cambelt which i don't get the chance to do before we go

or the C5 with a dodgy autobox.....

[stripped fred]

It would be jnteresting to know what vehicle people are bringing. I'll be in my 1997 micra 1.0. That's my son who does the autotests with me.

[Sunny Jim]

Listen up shiters, what do you want for breakfast? My celtic brother @davidfowler2000 is bringing Scottish delights for the Saturday morning, otherwise there's cafes in Cwm Y Glo (2 mins walk) or Llanberis (half hour walk along the lake) that will be open.

On the Sunday morning Tom the owner of the on site bakehouse is willing to open to provide breakfast for us. Egg or bacon roll for £2 and £1 for a brew. It would be useful for him to have an idea of numbers in advance so if you could let me know asap please. I'll update the list below as replies come in.

Tom (obviously a good bloke, dailies a K11 Micra) has kindly offered us use of the bakehouse on the Friday and Saturday nights after 9pm so we've got some indoor space to gather in in case of inclement weather.

Not long now, really looking forward to welcoming you all (fingers crossed the weather will be better than it has been here this weekend). Jim
