As a prologue to the Afghan Rally....

Who's up for a weekend of camping, drinking and general merriment?? YAY!

We touched on this idea during last weekends ride out and I know some of us are bursting for a few nights under canvas <waves at Tracey> :lol:

I was thinking of Forthampton because they have everything on site (pub mainly :-D

) but if anyone else has any other suggestions let's have them.

So, when and where folks? Let's get it on! :lol:

could also do Wainlodes in Tewkesbury as they do camping and have a pub on site too. Plus not far to go, if the weather turns bad.

I am interested, depending on dates.

Hmmmm.... heard some not so good things about that one.... I'll leave it there.

Anyway, Forthampton isn't that much further away.

What dates Les??

Ok, I am happy to go with Forthampton, as for dates....not to sure we have the NW200 coming up soon. How about Whit weekend at the end of May?

Any how, I will try to fit in with the majority.

For those who haven't managed to find it yet, this is the Lower Lode Inn, Forthampton.

I have emailed them this morning to enquire whether they have space available for the holiday weekend.

sorry guys at rally in coalville this weekend :roll:

RFdemon · **Posted:** Mon Apr 26, 2010 9:46 pm

After some discussion regarding the weather this weekend, we have decided to go for just the Saturday night. Meet at the Concorde cafe in Bristol Road, Gloucester at 9:30 am for breakfast and from there go onto Forthampton.

Everyone is welcome even if you just come for a drink during the evening.

I'll give this one a miss i think.......i'm washing my hair/bike!!!

Think if i go it will only remind me how much I HATE camping and put me off going to the Afghan rally.

Hope you all enjoy it and maybe catch up for a beer on Sunday sometime. :lol:

Have fun.
