Lakes V - Chit Chat
 

Good to see people showing an interest - thank you, it the people that make the weekend.

A few surprises though;

Enduro374 - I thought it clashed with your sailing thingy ?

Pleiades - How.... how did you manage that ? My missus can hardly get finished at 3:30, never mind a day off..

MITCHELL777 - Congratulations, you are the first Lakes virgin to sign up.

Jimf - clearly we didn't make it extreme enough for you... even surviving Keith's smoke signals in Dufftown, or maybe you're going for gold in the NavXT ?

SelinaXC and Omanist - It's testament to the weekend that you guys have chosen wisely...... Maybe get them cats dirty this time???

The Irish Contingent - you guys did rather well in 2011 I recall, another father and son team this time ? or pitting your wits against each other?

Sadly no day off - I will miss the Friday:022:

I'll be with you at some unearthly hour on Friday night, stoked up on coffee, red bull and Kendal mintcake, and looking like a zombie!

I said I'd get there, even if only for a day, and I'm damn well going to do it - even if it kills me!

That's the spirit same spirit that many others have, in fact anyone who attended in 2011, then came back in 2012.

As many will recall, 2011 was the year of the 80mph winds down the Ullswater valley, a destroyed tent and that river that almost broke it's banks....

Well today it seems we will be leaving to Austria on the Tuesday evening following the Lakes, so this may mean I struggle - despite my initial excitement!

Will see nearer the time, but would very much like to attend even if it's just for a short time!

Any chance I could rent some sleeping space for a night?

I felt like I was in the same tent as Keith last year............

I'm planning on resurrecting the Super Off Road TDM850, just to crash a lot off road for the weekend, but if the dreaded "I can't be arsed" kicks in it will be the Tigger (not actually cleaned it yet since buying it).

need any help planning it, drinking your alcohol or eating your food I'm in. but watch out I've a tenere now so watch out!!!!!
