2017 UK Meet 24-25 Jun

[Geoff W]

I will travel down on Friday after work, so I will arrive late, I will book into the campsite and bring tiny-tent. Yes please on the Saturday night dinner.
Where will you likely be on Friday night so I can find you lot?

[Geoff W]

Sorry Nick, it's a no-goer this year, I've gotta spend a few weeks getting back into 'er good books after disappearing to the TT for 10 days. The other 2 have no sense of direction so wouldn't make it on their own!! Ted probably won't be allowed anyway as the Tiger has now gone and has been replaced by an MT10.

Next year hopefully.

Gav you and the IOW boys will be a real miss. Given that you live on a postage stamp in The Solent, you lads are seriously hard riders. You were the only lads who made it for the Friday afternoon and did the long ride out on Saturday last year. Give my best to the lads.

Bridge camp site, is three hundred yard from town and if my memory serves the lady said pitches were eight pounds per person.

Lady! What did she look like?

[JayDub]

Sorry mate but my knees ain't up to crawling around in the dirt at the moment. 

Yeah but... being on your knees means less weight on your ankle H

If you do whatsapp I'll add you (and any other interested person) to the group conversation. Drop me a PM with a mobile number.

Either the New Inn, Crown or Swan Inn....all within staggering distance of each other

[Nick Calne]

Weather permitting, I'm going to Lechlade tomorrow to 're-appraise' the local eating and drinking establishments.  I'll write up my findings.  I seem to remember that there is a particularly good one down the half a mile down river from the town and that you can walk to it easily across the fields that adjoin the river bank.

For those of you that know what I do for a living these days, you'll be pleased to be assured that I'll bring my fullest professional attention to this matter on your behalf.

Will do Geoff

I does get a bit boring over here, roads are crap and too many grockles. We need excuses to get over to the big island a bit more, but unfortunately this years meet is just a bit too close to our TT trip to negotiate another weekend pass. Al and Ted are both coming to the TT with another couple of chaps tagging along.

We've heard this before at the first meet. 2 miles along fly infested bridleways and across wheat fields we found the pub.

[John Stenhouse]

The pub Nick is referring to is called the Trout. Is was an option for the meet as they have a field in back they use for weddings, group meets, etc. unfortunately it has but one toilet, and no showers!

I thought you all might like a modicum of comfort in your camping field.

Could you put my name down for a meal (& beer! ) please Nick! 😁 

[PeteH]

Should read....Beer, meal with beer....then more beer...+1 Nick.

I take it your booking a table for Saturday? so do we just fend for ourselves Friday??

[mat-tiger1]

I'm sure men of our calibre should be able to scout out beer & food on a Friday night Mr H?  (Probably more beer than food though!  )

[Nick Calne]

Been sick as a dog this weekend. Only managed 5mins on the bike up the road. I'll get over to Lechlade next weekend and find options for both days.
