Good plan, with that many going there's enough for two groups for sure.
BTW, anyone got a spare tent space?
I could bring one but would prefer to be able to move around the bike on the way up and back.
With a tent, sleeping bag, airbed and clothes it all gets a bit cramped.
If I could scrounge a corner to throw an airbed and sleeping bag for Friday night and Saturday night it would be appreciated, mostly with beer!
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Plenty of tent space tony, there will be enough tent space for your bike to sleep inside too

Can help me out?
Of course mate, plenty of bed space for everyone. Flatty has a massive tent, and I have a large 3 double bedroom tent and I'm not even staying in it since I only live 5-10 minutes away. I was going to go down there after work on Friday in the car and get it set up.
Tony, bazza and Jonesy (and anyone south of Derby/Nottingham). I'll be heading up to Derby on the Thursday to visit family. If you are riding up on the Friday, I can meet you on the way up if you fancy it?

There will be a few mate, and it's pretty secure around there anyway, there aren't any pikeys for miles. It will be some sort of fairly major bike gathering there that weekend, and there will literally be hundreds of bikes. It's a massive area, and I kid you not, on a busy day, you can't get a bike in to park there are that many there. I wouldn't worry too much about your bike getting messed with, but if you're really worried about it then I have a garage you could park it in and then get a lift down in the car for Friday night.
ah right sweet mate i just had visions of there being like three of us in tents and rest in a comfy B&B and the trailer folk seeing what we brung in the middle of the night
Seb, if the weather is good just getting in or out of the camping area/car park will be tight. Just don't park near the helicopter landing pad as last September some of the bikes got blown over. Keep the picture in your mind of only three bikes being there, you will be rewarded with a great view of the place rammed with bikes and people of all sizes and shapes when you get there.
