Of course, "bestest mates rates!"

We might be able to make this. Great idea

Not long to go to this event. As the unicycling didnt happen at camperjam, maybe people could bring any circus equipment to this, along with earlier suggested kites. I'll dig out my diablo's and juggling balls, and possibly my stilts for any children attending.

We might be able to supply a couple of clowns, son and daughter in law want to come.

Sounds like an excellent idea... clubs, balls and unicycle will be supplied!

We could be lucky with the weather if weatherxtra.com are a few hours out!

Fingers crossed for decent weather in South Wales for Dubs at the Castle Friday and Saturday too!

We'll see you on our way back on Sunday.

Gutted - sadly can't make it as I will be on my way back having hopefully completed my Icelandic Lava Trek. Anyone who wants to know more or who would like to bung me a couple of pounds can visit the link below. Have a fab day everyone.

Propably have to cross more than that to get decent weather in Wales

We are off on our summer tour on Sunday, everything is ready, a wet suit each, thats it, nothing else required!!! Have fun everyone.

According to the papers this morning, looks like you may hit it just right Irishman, good weather from weekend on, here's hoping they are right. Have a good time.

Yep, BBC weatherview last night said a high was going to be on us for saturday and sunday so should be fine. They did say dont expect a heatwave, just a couple of nice days.

For those of us living around the southampton/portsmouth area wanting to convoy, what route do we want to take. The fast route of A34/M4 which should be around an hour, or the scenic Salisbury/Marlborough route, up to 2 hours?

I'll personally prefer the faster of the 2 routes only because I'm a tight git and dont want to use up any more fuel than necessary!

A34 is good for me, I can get there from the A272. What time you thinking of heading off? Will probably be best to meet at the Sutton Scotney services. Just before the A303

Sutton Scotney sounds like a good idea. A chance to pick up any last minute picnic items is always a bonus.

How about looking to leave the services at 10, so just before that.

Sounds like a plan

Sorry guys but think I'm going to drop out of this one now.
Now we've finally got a dry weekend I can catch up with all the outside jobs that need doing. Might be the only one we're going to get

That's a shame, Oli was saying only yesterday how much he was looking forward to jumping all over you!

Afraid I'm going to have to give this a miss too now. A busy week at work has hampered prep for my holiday so it's all happening this weekend now. Sorry to let you down at this late stage but needs must. Hope you have a fun meet.

Due to Kiteman not coming, and Harryhornet now coming from another direction, there is no convoy forming at sutton scotney, just in case someone was thinking of meeting there and hasnt said.
Have safe journeys and see you all there.

What time is everyone aiming to be there? I'm thinking of arriving about mid-day.

Looking to get there around 11ish
