Camping available?bonj said:Can I just suggest - the one place that's more central than any that anyone else has suggested so far - Mansfield.
Berry Hill Park, just off southwell road west would be ideal.

Errr not many would make the effort to travel from all 4 corners of the empire, let alone Dayvo out in the colonies to attend a 1 day meet?bonj said:Christ you like your modern amenities and creature comforts don't you??
what about getting back to nature? though that's what camping's meant to be like.
anyhow there's a jet garage on the corner of windsor road for anybody that gets a craving for a ginsters early in the morning. and there's probably a travelodge nearby for anybody too bourgeouis to camp.
and since when has this been an overnight job?

Ok, this is just a scenario ok?, it is not the agenda/plan ok?.We meet at a pre arranged place(camping) on say a fri/sat.We only need one day for a bike ride, the rest of time can be spent SOCIALISING with your new found friendsbonj said:well i don't see why he would make the flight from out there anyway if there's no schedule of activities planned, but i seem to be the only one that sees boredom as a genuine risk/possible downfall of this...
Usually on forums, the 'get-together' is based around an activity. On car forums i've been on, it's been go-karting. I once went all the way to bristol for go karting and it was great fun!
with us our forum is based around an activity so the obvious one is cycling, but then I don't get how is this any different from just a normal bike ride. An overnight bike ride? It's effectively a mini-tour then, but... camping in the same place every night and just going for successive rides round the same area every day?
dont' get it, someone please explain the intention...!

Bring your best top trumps card thenbonj said:sorry but that would bore me.
There has to be SOMETHING to do, you generally socialise WHILE doing some communal activity. You don't JUST 'socialise'. What about tenpin bowling?

Sorry Bonj, but do we really need to be camped next to cinema/bowling plex?, whats wrong with just having bbq, or a wander to/stagger back from a fine hostelry?bonj said:oh bob! that's not an activity!
