Sounds like a top weekend ahead, Cant wait, Carl any thoughts on the way up there instead of the M5 M6, David

you can arrive on friday and purchase week-end tickets including camping, for £25.00 per person, under 16's go free. erna

We will look into the route today for you.

Helen & Carl

carl & helen
dave & erna
ron & linda
nina & nigel & lee

Route up there:

How about A419 to Cheltenham
M5 for a bit to J6 Worcester
A449 Kidderminster
A442 Bridgenorth
A4169 Shifnal

Or head towards Wolverhampton & then Shifnal.
I don't know what the roads are like but are willing to give any route a go.

Anyone got any thoughts.
Good to see that Nigel & Lee are coming too - thanks for looking at our points last night

Helen & Carl.

Hi CARL. Bridgenorth route looks fine, i guess it would take about 3-4 hours with a stop somewhere, what about leaving about say 10-30 ish from Burbidge Petrol station, everyone thoughts on this, David

hi dave yes sounds like a good time to meet up,were make arrangements with ron and linda tomorrow and see you friday morning.any news about russ getting day off or not?

Hi we are going up in a straight line to try and stop the dog from puking maybe heading up thursday night so will see you guys up there, Tom and Bea looking forward to seeing everyone

Does,nt the dog like traveling or is it your driving

were see you up there then mate,were be in family camping.cant wait.

Hi All,

Yes 10.30 at Burbage petrol station is perfect for us.
It looks like the journey is about 3.5 hrs on a steady run and we can cut this down a bit if we do a bit of M5 to between Gloucester & Worcester. Otherwise we can stay on the A38. Can discuss tomorrow morning.
No doubt we will stop some where en-route to stretch legs etc.

Our Derby friends are planning to arrive after school, but have parents reserving them a spot in family camping, so we need to look out for them so we can camp together. Family camping is where we are heading for but I guess we might need to behave when it gets late - always difficult I know.

Looking forward to it. IF any one knows a 'sun-dance' for Saturday can they start now please.

Logging off for now, will look at the forum tonight - Carl's making me paint the underside of the bus again!!!!

Hi Guys

Bad news i`m affraid, i am going to cancel going to camperjam, 2 reasons really, 1stly i am having a lot of problems with my Ribs as those who were at new forrest will know that playing rounders was great but when i fell(drink related---somewhat) i was not just winded but broke some ribs, still not healed blah blah blah and very sore, 2ndly dont think i could drive that far with the pain.
Sorry folks

Ron

.

Our saluki greyhound, just doesn't seem to be able to hack going round corners, we were trying to break her in gently but with the all VW events shes in at the deep End! Gonna keep all the windows open and the air flowin through the bus sure she will get used to it!

really lookin forward to parkin up and crackin a beer open! SEE YA THERE

Hi Ron,

Sorry to hear that you've cracked your ribs. If Doctors tell you to rest...don't stop breathing.
As we were somewhat less than sober we didn't realise how badly injured you were. I knew that you landed with a thump.
Hope that you heal up quickly & see you soon

Helen & Carl

Have a great time all of you. We are off to cornwall next friday so thought this weekend would be to much to soon, plus the car has cost a lot this week had to have brakes all round and was told our rear shocks were leaking oil so its been a pants week.

Ron you take and hope you are better soon. No more drunk athletics for you

Thats bad drills Ron, get better soon mate.

The rest of you have a great time hope the weather holds out for you . . .

Thanks for kind word all, GUTTED not to be going,hope you all have great time.

Ron
