I can’t make it. I need to spend next weekend elsewhere. My campsite fees are paid for, if anyone would like my spot they’re welcome to it.

That is very sad.

I had to make a choice and I am so sad not to be seeing everyone, but it is just more important to be elsewhere. Have a wonderful time everyone. It’s an excuse to make plans for another time anyway 😎

Don't worry ... Cycleman's snoring will drown that out.

Must be a bank holiday week end.

It does tend to stick, doesn't it?

Strange isn't it 🤔

Oh dear, oh dear. oh dear...... there is some sort of debauched festival going on in the nearby hamlet of Ockley...https://www.ockley.org.uk/blog-2/beer-and-cider-festival-1

I'm sure we'll want nothing to do with that sort of thing....

Sounds terrible. I'm sure Kim must have had this in mind all along.

What could possibly go wrong?

Would you like the list sorted alphabetically, or by amusement value ?

I fully expect Team Slow to return from the coronation BEER festival wrapped in bunting and singing an erudite and smutty version of the national anthem, and then get lapped by cycleman in the hill climb the next morning.

Meanwhile I'm trying to work out what I'm in the process of forgetting to pack. First camping trip of the year, and in a car, which means I can't work out what I've forgotten by the suspicious empty space. Bike shoes are too obvious, and we don't need the Official BHPC Jam-Filled Babbage-Engine or any extension leads for this one. I'm leaning towards trousers. Or some decent weather.

Say hello to the Surrey Hills for me. I'm not entirely sure that I miss them, but it would have been nice to come along this weekend. Have fun.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #141 on:** 05 May, 2023, 03:18:26 am »

I shall have to give this some thought tomorrow.

Polar Bear · « **Reply #142 on:** 05 May, 2023, 07:08:31 am »

Pangs of envy here especially as our plans have changed due to a fragile oldie.

I shall do a bit of kit buying later to compensate then go and panic buy supplies allowing me to hunker down tomorrow thus avoiding all of the royalist frivolities. 🤣

Hot Flatus · « **Reply #143 on:** 05 May, 2023, 07:11:41 am »

Not coming, but I hope that around the storm clouds and rain there is a consistent opening of the sky and radiant sunshine over your campsite.

Canardly · « **Reply #144 on:** 05 May, 2023, 07:21:22 am »

I had hoped to have been away early this am but I have just been notified of a delivery of 4 tonnes of paving slabs today that I have been awaiting for some time. Law of sod. I might be out guys. If so apologies.

JBB · « **Reply #145 on:** 05 May, 2023, 08:53:24 am »

Dan and I are breakfasting in the field at Night Pastures camping near Fernhurst, weather OK atm. Looks like I shall sleep all day tomorrow....

cycleman · « **Reply #146 on:** 05 May, 2023, 09:11:43 am »

I'm in currently finishing breakfast in Abinger hammer. Not to much further to go. See you all soon

andrewc · « **Reply #147 on:** 05 May, 2023, 09:59:16 am »

I’m trying to work my way across London to Victoria Station for the train to Dorking. Of course Google routed me via The Mall…. Half the UK’s police appear to be here.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #148 on:** 05 May, 2023, 10:13:09 am »

I have had no more than about 5 hours’ sleep on the past 28. Will let you know if I decide the whole malarkey is too much.

I'm about to set off from home, unless I remember something else I haven't packed yet.

See you mid-afternoon-ish.
