Mates please take as many pictures as you may, so who can't get there can share a bit of joy. Also it would be very nice to put some faces to the names or nicknames. Enjoy your time there.

One thing that I sort of am considering, since we'll be that side of the country, is hitting the Dr Who Experience in Cardiff on the Monday.  This'll mean finding camping in Wales, or asking to stay an extra night at the Retro Rides site, then heading over to Cardiff.

It's probably too much to aim to do, and I'd seriously miss the opportunity to drive back home somewhat in convoy, which I'm guessing will be later on Sunday after the events?

Does anyone else fancy it?  Website: http://www.doctorwhoexperience.com/index.php

Money will also be an issue, as it's not that cheap, but... 

Also, what are the plans for convoying on the Friday??

We are cutting our holiday short and driving back from Dorset on the Friday morning to home . Then I will load up the 126 and head on over. Last year I set the sat nav for shortest route and it took me from here through Aylesbury to Bicester then turned off on a cross country route which was a wonderfull "back of nowhere" drive.  ;D

Hi Lina...thansk for the loan of the tent...I'll defintely take you up on it (PM to follow)...let me know what wine you prefer (red or white) and I'll bring you a bottle as a small thankyou!  ;D  I've been really busy with work so I've not had chance to look for one...although I've always got my carcoon as a standby (!!)  :o

PM'd back... I'll take white please, sorry Lad, too slow!  :P lol

It's a fishy tent - literally, has fish all over it (thank Ted Baker!), so you'll be nice and noticeable ;) The front door pole got a little squished at one corner, but otherwise it all works just as it should and will keep you dry for the weekend.

Is there anything else you need that you know of?  I may have an extra sleeping bag, but I'm not sure - I've still yet to dig around in the shed to see what's out there.

126Blackbird has got my spare ticket now, so we'll be heading out of Colchester way at 9.30/10am ish on the Friday.  Will anyone else be joining us for convoy purposes along the way??

Thanks to work commitments, we won't be arriving until Saturday morning so I hope you early birds can bag us a couple of pitches in the 126 camp!

 Stuey what are you trying to say about us.
 To be honest I did consider buying a PINK Seat Marbella recently :$

 Oh and I`ve got the Club 126 pass today. Very nice, this Pete guy is well efficient. :thumbup

I've got something to put in you..... i taught this song to my son when he was tiny and would sing it at home!! tips to kipping on the floor,  1) never sleep on your stomach. 2) never sleep with your mouth open. 3) never sleep near me.... ;)
