That's excellent news. Got to work til 2.45 tomorrow then back to St Annes to get ready and we should be on the road by 4, most probably in the rain

why didn't we buy the rain legs in time

Getting excited now. Bags are packed, bikes are serviced and raring to go, weather forecast is crap but who cares. Being on the road again with a tent and few belongings is just such a good feeling. The fact that we will be heading for York under our own steam for the first time will just add the icing on the cake.

Anyone camping at the little site at Fishlake near Doncaster, Thursday night on route? I am hoping to get there late afternoon.

Look me up at York I am on LW23 and will have the new Fell Club flag attached to my tent.

We'll be packing tonight so I have tomorrow to panic for the kids. Haven't yet decided whether to take the camping stove or just eat out. It may come down to space.
Haven't decided whether to take Fred or the tractor (probably the tractor). Kids will get given one pannier each tonight and told to pack everything in that except sleeping bag (that is what the other one is for).

Oh what fun..

Hope to see you all at York this weekend

, no baking has been done, will have to go to Tesco's to get some cake and biccies, unless someone else is going to take some homebakes.

Hope it doesn't rain too heavily for all those cycling there, lets hope the DLWG works.

I have just offloaded the dog at the kennels and driven back through a downpour of the tropical type. Standing water across the road, cars down to twenty miles an hour with full headlights on, the whole works. Its eased off a bit now but our four o'clock departure is getting uncomfortably close now.

Could be interesting making camp tonight.

On the bright side, tomorrow looks a bit nicer, just a few showers according to the met office.

The forcast for Sat is sunny, wet on Sun.

I shall be coming in with one daughter, looking forward to seeing some of you (although I have no idea how I shall find anyone).

Somebody, Alan, I think, suggested a list in the registration tent with names and pitch numbers. Seems like a simple solution to me.

I read that as

I have just offered the dog...

I don't think pagan sacrificies will appease any loose connection with the DLWG

remember,you're not living in Wales anymore

So if I turn up for the day and ask for toekneep, Clarion or butterfly, I'll find you? lol
I might wear the dreaded icecream jacket.

Well maybe not but you could always ask for Tony P

The other York Cycle Show thread lists some peoples pitch numbers.

David Martin · « **Reply #112 on:** 18 June, 2008, 11:59:23 pm »

I'll be on LW 16 with daughter (11) and probably son (10)(though he had a nasty bump on the head today - fell off a log and caught a picnic bench with his head on the way down - mild concussion and a cut but is apparently OK now)

We'll be getting there about 9.30 on Friday night.

Butterfly · « **Reply #113 on:** 19 June, 2008, 08:26:29 am »

We're on LW 97. We should get there around 9pm tomorrow, trains willing.

tiermat · « **Reply #114 on:** 19 June, 2008, 08:54:12 am »

We will be there, that is me, Mrs T and TLD, unfortunately no bikes though as other events get in the way (such as swimming lessons and birthday parties...

)

does anyone know if there will be shuttle bus from the station to the race course? I don't fancy driving into York and TLD loves going on the train (plus it is quicker for us to use the train!)

Regulator · « **Reply #115 on:** 19 June, 2008, 12:49:33 pm »

I'm on LW56. I should be arriving between 4-5 p.m. on Friday. Not sure which tent I am bringing, but just look for the van Nicholas Amazon parked outside.

MSeries · « **Reply #116 on:** 19 June, 2008, 12:59:16 pm »

~~LW83~~LW82, red Hewitt. I'll wear my blue Vecchio's/Campagnolo hat or LEL one.

Butterfly · « **Reply #117 on:** 20 June, 2008, 01:35:44 am »

Clarion will be wearing either an ACF jersey or a T-shirt with Clarion on it and his bike has Clarion on the top tube

. The tent will have a glass butterfly outside and somewhere on my bike is likely to be a scarf with butterflies on it unless it really raining.

Okey-dokey! Get the tea on!

tiermat · « **Reply #119 on:** 20 June, 2008, 09:09:03 am »

Hopefully (if you are not all out on bike rides) we will see you tomorrow afternoon, I'm thinking I'll have a meander around the bike auction, see if I can pick up something for Mrs T (and maybe just maybe something for me

)

With any luck I'll find clarion first then he can direct me/introduce me to the rest of you....

alan · « **Reply #120 on:** 20 June, 2008, 10:44:39 am »

We will be leaving soon so will see you later

Regulator · « **Reply #121 on:** 20 June, 2008, 11:30:31 am »

I'm packed and leaving in about half an hour. I'm on the 13.33 Euston to York.

Isn't it normal to go from King's Cross?

gordon taylor · « **Reply #123 on:** 20 June, 2008, 11:44:50 am »

Looks like I'm not going, sorry. Too busy, too tired, too many brownie points needed for my summer tour, too scared that I'd buy something expensive.

Have a nice time, everyone.

Whoops! You're right....

Show's how infrequently I go north of the Watford Gap, into the badlands...
