Didnt want to attract any 'attention'. Twas a guess..... My old BM was quicker than you guys... Andover to Harleston (norfolk) 178 mile 2 hours 10 mins - 2 up. (well 2 up half way, dunno where she fell off)

[Jaws]

Dover to Thetford ( 2.30 am leave from Dover ) 1 hour 30..


Norwich to Thetford 60 minutes.. ( Norwich rider )

Thetford to Norwich 18 minutes.. ( Thetford rider )


LOL !!!!

Re Sat ride out.. no charge at all but please.. do not enter the gates !

Come along the private road towards the rugby club but stop when you see the gates at the bottom of the field.. If you enter then we will be charged for you for the whole weekend ! ( we did a deal whereby we are charged per head re attendee's.. In some ways it works well but in others.. wellllll )

[silverfox.xx]

Was gonna come by helecopter, and be lowered down. What if you want to look at any trade stands.... still gotta pay for weekend.. sorry tobug you on this, but would love to call in.

[stan the man]

'tis only £22 for the weekend silverfox....think of the fun you could have for such a measly sum..and all in a good cause.

Is there a Mitchells [CC Camping] near you? if you purchase one of their discount cards [£3] you can get all your gear at half price tent included that's what we did last year for the eosb, our lass is now talking about getting a bigger tent one of those multi bedroom jobbies that you can stand up in.

Derek, - the issue of standing up at the bash is seldom to do with tents! Need I say more?

[Jaws]

You do not have to camp if your better half does not like the idea..

There are LOADS of little bed and breakfast places within a couple of miles :p

halfords do some good (not so dear gear) , might be worth a look.

[Fat Bert]

halfords do some good (not so dear gear) , might be worth a look.


Kate Moss [apparently] does some great gear as well

Not sure if she offers a discount card though

So I take it I can come for the weekend for £22, with or without camping.

Yup thats about it S F :p

Where else can you get Friday to Monday lunacy for that much ! LOL ..

I mean, the ped racing alone ( free to enter and ped supplied ! ) is worth nearly that !

Then there is THE GAME..

Bashers know what THE GAME is.. but Bash virgins have to wait until Sunday evening to find out !

[zoukmachine]

what is the camping like?
is it on the rugby club`s grounds?
is it safe?
are there wolves at night?
does someone come and tuck you in?man8um

[RHINO]

Does someone come and tuck you in?man8um

No, i hear he's not going this year......... anyway...... at most he'll only tuck his hand down the back of your PJ bottoms.

[Jaws]

Camping IS in the rugby grounds and it is safe as long as you do not stray from the fires.. and if you here the sound of a banjo playing do NOT go to investigate.. This is Norfolk we are talking about here ya know !

[the all new REEFER]

whaT if the rain puts out the fires...h1d1ng2 :eek: p0pc0rn41

[Jaws]

No worries
We use new modern fire.. Basically a fan, a lump of wafty cloth and a red light ( all 12v of course ! )
