Shitefest Shropshire 12-14th July

[catsinthewelder]

I think most people are going up to the RAF museum at Cosford (about 40 mins north).  Possibly after going to the blacksmiths.

News on the site, we're going to make the fixed loo the ladies and the portable one the gents (who are also welcome to pee in hedges).  This is due to the tank being a bit higher than is ideal and a desire not to flood the site.

I'll spend an hour or so swearing at shit camping equipment in an effort to protect ourselves from the severe July climate. 

Once that's done I'll attempt to make myself a cup of tea, only to discover I've forgotten to pack the milk. 

A few hours later, I'll have sufficiently exhausted myself enough to sit in a folding chair, staring into space while I consume a delicious tin of warm, cheap lager. 

Sounds like your lad is going to have a cracking weekend! 🤣

Prior dispensation to be antisocial, that's a new one.

...and the weekend after I am at Brownhills near Brum with yet another different car.

Give me a shout, if you have time - that's less than 5 miles from Chaseracer Towers.

Pretty please

Excellent news 💪

Does anyone need gas for your camping stove?  A friend of mine got a little worried during COVID and stockpiled 56 canisters 😳

I've just agreed to swap it for 3 hours work so we've got plenty to use and please take some home because I don't want to blow up my shed!

Ill take a couple if its the usual aerosol can type

[cms206]

I have done zero preparations.

All that stands between me and Shitefest is half a trip on the 409, a rounder on the 17, a rounder on the 83 and a rounder on the 59.

Hoping for a quiet shift...

Is there running water on site to make tea?

[Ghosty]

Shopping done, which consists of a ham sandwich assembly kit, 0% beer, snacks, Gun Gum, and petrol.

Setting off around lunchtime.

[HillmanImp]

I've just tried doing some last minute 'repairs'. So obviously I've totally broken it. 😄

Have fun everyone.........wish I was there

I should still make it but for fuck sake, why didn't I just leave it alone.

Will pop down to Moss tomorrow and get some mutha fuckin' bitch ass hose as the one on the throttle opening sensor is split.

Sorry...... I did see this, but we're in the E46 coupe so it won't fit I don't think. 

We can drop by the seller and try it - but can't promise it'll go. 

PM me the address and I'll see what we can do.

PM'd him - but as it's the coupe it'll end up on its side - so will need draining of oil etc... 

See how it goes. 

On another note - anyone live near RichK who's attending? I have a full set of brand new Boxster arms he may want if I can get them over to him. I'll throw them in the car, just in case. 

 

[twosmoke300]

If it can get to SF I’ll have a go at getting it running on sat eve 😂

I seem to remember talk of a kitchenette or something like that. 

My forecasting app says there won't be any falling from the sky, which is nice.

Yes, sink with hot + cold water next to the shower.

Getting ready

[KruJoe]

For anyone pondering whether to go or not, don't overthink it, just do it. You won't regret it.  

Safe journey everyone.  

[beko1987]

Have a great weekend everyone, I'm gutted to not be going! 

Will see how many shiter looking cars I see on the M4 as I drive to Cardiff for a mates stag do in a bit. I'm terrified... 😂

Prep
