We have family friends in London, it is worth giving it a thought, sending the mrs and kids by plane and me taking the long way around.....
It's all greek to me....

Unless someone treats me to a trip to the German F1 that weekend (doubtful) I will drag the old beast there. I may even take the bike.

Having discussed this with significant other..

"Wanna go to Lincolnshire on the Buell rather than Eastbourne 21st July?"... "Erm.. can do"...

We might be attending too, but on past experience something will happen to stop it (I will be telling my Mother to stay in bed and not break anything for the month before.. after she broke her hip last year 3 days before a gathering! :doh: )

With reference to camping at East Kirkby Hideaway - http://eastkirkbyhideaway.webs.com - I contacted Julie, the owner, and she confirmed that the normal camping/caravan site is still available for you/us to use. It's only their separate rally field which is booked for the 20th & 21st July.

Please quote 'Chris Jessop - UKBEG' if you make a booking so Julie knows you're staying for the Buell event at the Aviation Centre.
