For help with directions and also for those with trailers, see the site maps and entrance photo below. Best to approach from the south if bringing a trailer as the turn in is tight through the gate and to the left.

Thanks H, payment received

Okay, bit the bullet !!

Looked at the long range weather forcast and don't like what I see.
Clutch is not reliable
Steering iffy.
Crank seal leaking like buggery.

Providing I can get there and the truck let's me down in the process of, I'd be more
of a liability to others and my enjoyment would quickly go out of the window.

My own stupid fault I left it too late to sort the truck out.

On the upside : get ready for IOW and since I'm allowed two events so Cheapfest looms large.

Sorry guys. (Gaz, attendees list amended)

Thats sad news mate, was looking forward to catching up

No chance you take a ride up in the Grand ?

JamesH · « **Reply #154 on:** May 13, 2013, 01:30:06 PM »

..or can Maf stick you on a trailer / you tow his up or some combination? Would be good to see you but understand the dodgy truck issue completely AND the running out of time.

I am coming but without the jeep. A touch of camping some BBQ food and a few bottles of Merlot I think. Plus one of the Dogs. I will bring some wood for the fire aswell, as I will be in my van. See some of you on Friday when I get there.

Happy days Rob

Cool. Will be good to see ya Rob.

JamesH · « **Reply #158 on:** May 14, 2013, 04:54:06 PM »

Glad you can make it Rob.

A couple of queries for those that have been there before and have better memory than me:

1. Is there a water supply on site (drinking water)?

2. If you've driven a trailer there before do you have tips on routes to approach the site or a convenient place to drive past, turn around and come back towards the site from the south?

Everything else should be organised, just turn up from lunchtime Friday and set up camping stuff in the grass field. I'll be there mid afternoon if all goes to plan.

Bring your own water/beer
Easy access with a trailer
Take your fecking rubbish home with you

The trailer thing was at Warthog really, I know he had to drive past turn around and come back to site so he could make the turn into the gate. I just wondered how easy the turning around was.

I've pulled into a McDonalds before with 16ft bed trailer on and then had to turn around - not quite as simple as it sounds

Thanks for confirming no water on site, please note everyone.

If you come from the Steep hill side. Just go past and turn into the Farmers gate 100yards past Site entrance. An irate Mut, is the only thing that will give you aggro....
