Arranged for the same B&B again. Sorry, not a camper but I'm just down the road. 

 

Actually last year there was an accident that cut me off and the detour was a 45 min off road adventure in the dark, down and up a narrow winding road with a white van insisting on driving in my back seat 😳

If it's possible I'll be up for buying at least one extra shirt for my passenger(s).  Bit too far in advance for that now, but thought I would mention just to get it in this thread.

Sounds like a cracking weekend, and this year I can fit it around my shifts. So I'll be there. 😃

 

Seeing as I'm coming to a couple of events this year I reckon it's time I upgrade my membership and start chipping in to the costs. But I'm a bit dim with tech, so it's, umm, delayed.

 

Quick question. Do people camp the Friday night before the event, cos I could do that, or I could just have an earlyish start from home near Sheffield on the Saturday morning.

Hi Iain, yes, it certainly is a cracking week end! 😃  One books the campsite direct and as many nights as you fancy. Make it it into a little hol if you like , I do, having booked 6 nights this year! There are possibly more events either or one side of the week end as well such as green lanes, or other things depending what you fancy!  Its a lovely area with lots of variety one can do. 🤠

Hi UKTJ, I've booked from the Wednesday night, but may change/cancel/add a night depending on what's going on in the week before or after the event weekend.

The one reason I don't wear white is because my T-Shirt likes to taste my food too 😋
