OK folks, lots of people have been asking me recently whether we are gonna have another this year? We didn't get many on WCT6 last year and the weather in September was crap We even lost a tent in the wind

Well I can't do it in September this year (as I'm off to Stelvio ) so it looks like mid July or August. Most schools break up on 22nd July so it's gonna be busy after then.

I've still gotta fit in a Muppet Camp to the Lakes, (which looks as though it could be 20th Aug.) and I'm busy 12/13th Aug. so if you fancy coming say what dates you CANT make and I'll see if we can work around it.

Only detail decided at the moment is that we are planning to use a different campsite, so no 'Pheonix Nights' this time

 

Thanks for the heads up charliewhiskey, I'll check my calender when I get home in the morning.

Last year was somewhat soggy to say the least. Actually, come to think about it, I've still not fixed the minor damage to my tent from that night

I can't do...

July 9/10 (flying back from Italy )
July 23/24
August 6/7

The 16/17 July might end up busy yet too (seesh, can we have four day weekends please?).

 

I'm in, but W/E of August 20th may be no good for me.

Martin.

 

MCT and WCT - hmm can I do both?

 

i can't do any dates until last weekend in July, August i should be alright for.....i think should have my car fixed by then

 

Well that seems to discount every weekend till October

 

so when is it
and i got new car this year a black 05 wrx sti
and so has matt but its a baby evo8 260 (tuned up to 360ish bhp)

 

Cheers for the invite chris, I'm up for it!!! Only really dates i can't do are 5th-14th August

 

all sat/sun are good for me

 

And no rain or wind please

 

I can't get 9/10 July, 23/24 July, 30/31 July, 13/14 August (same reason as you I suspect), 27/28 August, 17/18 September, 24/25 September. Oh and the MCT...

As for Flat4 getting his car fixed.... what, all of it at the same time?

 

Have you got a new tent then Neil?

I tried to do a bit of a recce on Sunday, but forgot to take my wallet so only got as far as Whitchurch

I have something planned which will hopefully be a little different to the past few years, but just as much fun!

 

no not yet need a good one me thinks

 

Looks like we're having a merging of the two trips

Any date is good for me, as long as I give the misses at least a weeks notice

 

Sounds cool

Going to Barcelona 15 - 17th July, folks going to visit sometime after, I'll post up my availabilty once I figure it out

 

Will Matt be allowed out to play though Neil?

 

So far Austen's proposed date of 30/31st July is the favourite. (Sorry TonyG)

Still awaiting a few peeps, who have said they were interested, to advise dates but hope to firm it up by this weekend.

May be off for a recce on Thursday to see if there is any suitable 'new' stuff we still havn't done yet! I also have to find a new lunch pub somewhere.

 

30/31st good for most of the west mids boys me thinks about 8 of us i believe holidays permitting etc etc

Mark

 

yes but gem got a baby on the way

 

yes but matt and gem have got a baby on the way

 

30/31st July sounds good.

Only July date we can't make is 16/17th.

Hope to see everyone there, and possibly a bit less rain than last year. Might carry some breeze blocks around with us to help hold the tent down (just in case!).

 

30-31st july sounds good to me,
chris.

 

30/31st good for me

 

Not managed to get to Wales today, windows got in the way!

Looks like 30/31st it is then

I will try to get to Wales at the weekend, between applying coats of Sadolin

 

Bollox, that's TOTB weekend, yet another one i can't come to

 

Sorry to here that Kev, you're not running your's are you?




Cancels breakdown support crew

 

Can't make that one either - weekend on standby. Oh well, when's MCT?

 

yeah sounds really good, put my name down

 

Just got back from the first recce

Good news: There are some great new roads for you , and a bit of the old favourites

Bad News: Campsite I was gonna use, the original one from WCT1 & 2, no longer takes tents

So still gotta decide where exactly we are stopping, there are a few choices. My two favourites to try are both fields adjacent to pubs!

A few more things to sort on the next recce...
