How do's fellow BoLOCs et al..?

As BoLOC events are a little thin on the ground so far this year (and I personally have no free weekend now until mid-October yikes) then I thought I'd throw this little number into the hat (It's kinda topical right now (Le Mans) and was mooted betwixt myself and Gooby on the Ladies Burger Run)


My In-laws have a field or two in glorious Devon and a spot of camping was suggested (I don't do camping at all but will happily make an exception for this!). The field is bang next door to my Footy Club's changing pavilion so there'll be showers, toilets and kitchen facilities available at all times

Furthermore, my band is headlining an open-air local charity fund-raising gig on the outskirts of the village on the Saturday night. Entry is £10 with a couple and bands and a few solo / duo efforts providing the musical backdrop to the beer & food tents!!!

Happy to serve consensus on duration, but thinking along the lines of:

Friday 31st August - Arrival and dinner / bar-b
Saturday 1st September - Run around some of Devon's finest and then off to the show!
Sunday 2nd September - depart after an excellent Sunday roast at one of the village pubs

Any interest in this..?

After camping the weekend before last in the torrential rain on the Isle of Wight I said I would never camp again. But this is different, put me down as a possible (as long as my tent is not next to Kevin (deepseatiger)the Pernod drinking sheep ... well you can guess the rest. Nothing personal Kev biggrin

Clive, it clashes with the LOTRDC at Donington... but that's unlikely to tempt any BoLOCs away from the South I guess.

If I don't end up going to watch the racing I'd be down for this.

Good shout Tim, but it's the one and only half-chance I'll get before Autumn hits hard!

I also think you're right that Donny won't affect too many. Be good if you found your way down for some R&R thumbup

You heading to Brands Sunday by any chance?

Miss Swiss and I would be up for this, although the only problem is that'll be one of the busiest times of year for us that weekend...we'll have to see, sorry old chap. frown

What a superb Idea - I will be there and I will see which of the family want to come along, Lulu or Dee Dee!

Thanks Mr Janitor. In our own private field, we could let Jake drive the Lotus (your lotus)

Put Mrs T and I down as possibles if we can leave the Tipperettes with in-laws for the weekend. Other problem is I've a nagging feeling that we may have signed up for something else for the weekend but this sounds great fun so would love to be there. It'd be great to meet up- with some of the Bolocs boys and girls again.

An odd question, perhaps, but where in Devon?

Thanks,

Ha ha, if we can get it started again - it's been stranded in the work car park for 2 days!!! hopefully we'll get him home today. Desperately need to tune it properly - running a bit rich at the moment I think.

Not as far as I'm aware. I'm pretty sure Janitors family will be fine if you want to bed down in a hedge, or maybe with some livestock (interference excepted, 'natch).

Oops - get Marcus to slap that SC on it and get it going. You need to drop the ride height too and get rid of that tractor-look wink
