if your going al is it ok if i join you riding there ?
Yes, will be a fun ride there, some great roads...I go after work Friday, so you have to put the tent up after dark.... but I will expect some contribution to the fuel if you are going to slipstream me :lol:
can i hook up on this convoy? I'll need to get used to seeing a yellow one ahead, but hey ho, the price you pay! :wink:

Tent pegs
Mallet although between us I'm sure we'll have at least one
Waterproofs
You'll be on a firestorm right? Don't forget fuel money. :P

Can't think of anything else.

a karrimat type thing may be better than an airbed, better insulation and if you're well padded anyway* saves on the luggage

anyone going Bear Grylls style - a knife and tarp and bike?

*no personal aspersions intended, just a thought :wink:

As long as cheeky Kev, sue and ads are there, you don't need to take cooking stuff, as they travel in style and bring an aga with them :lol: But incase they are not, I take a single gas ring and basic pots, a cup and a spork...although you can wander round to the pub that is also a B&B and they will do a full English for you, but where's the fun in that?

Other things on list should be:
a head torch cause it will be dark when we get there, and they give you both hands free to put up tent....also handy when you have to get out in the night to piss on Benny's tent :D
You favourite hangover cure
Some dry clothes
Waterproofs
Baby wipes......best invention in the world
A couple of bin bags to keep things dry
Black and clear visor
String, cable ties and some tank tape......incase the sheep struggle :lol:
Lighter...for the spliff and to get the disposable BBQ lit
