It's a bit too late to book now so just turn up and pay on the gate.

Any convoys?Don't know about a convoy but I'll be leaving around 10.00am on Thursday. Thought maybe M25, M3, A303 and find somewhere nice to stop for a late lunch. I'm 'running in' the new engine though and the car is pretty loaded up so I won't be going particularly fast. Should reach the campsite before it gets dark though
That works for me, I've just put the top end of my engine back together and it'll keep me from being too silly on the ride up.

PM sent. Happy to travel in convoy although judging by the look of your engine compared to mine I think it will be a case of "shoot me, shoot me, I'm slowing you down"

Ta Louise. Anyone want to join us for convoying? We're passing through J26 of the M25 anticlockwise at about 10.20 Thursday.

Have you got your parking permit for the M25?

I still have a name tag(worn around neck) that Alex kindly made last year for site members who requested one. Whilst this is a last minute mention of them has anyone thought of wearing their's this year?

I actually lost my own one! I had thought of doing it again but it's a bit too late now.

Alex, why not upload a blank badge that people can print off and fill in themselves?

Anyone fancy convoying down from Bristol area on Sat Morning?!
Im leaving 8-9'ish from Gordano services heading south via A-B roads. Dont think the M5 will be good due to glastonbury Festival.

Watch out for the speed cameras along the 50mph single carriageway sections of the A303 from Stonehenge westwards

Thanks for the warning Mike!
I've decided that I'm leaving first thing on Friday morning (well, about 9ish so should miss rush hour)
Oh, and can whoever decides where the website camping is try and post it up here?
I'll do it when I get there if no-one else has

Last year there wasn't any problem in finding the websiters - I just asked where they were when booking in and was directed there. I think Lou & Jon will be at the site first, and Lou's got the banner, but I'll try to post something here tomorrow evening to let people know what's what (if I make it there in one piece and can get a reception on my dongle )
