Gauging Interest

Gauging Interest for camping weekend

Just gauging interest to see if anyone wants to have a cycling & camping weekend in East Yorkshire. We have a small paddock near the coast, which has a public toilet block next to it (open 7am - 7pm), or possiby camping at a pub garden depending on peoples preference.

I was thinking of the end of July, as there's some cycling events on in nearby Beverley.
National Circuit Race Championships on Friday, July 24,
Big G – Grimpeurs des Wolds Cyclosportive on Saturday 25th
East Riding Classic Premier Calendar Road Race on Sunday 26th
For those not wanting to go to Beverley, there's plenty of nice quiet roads & the Trans pennine trail to cycle

I might be up for that, all depends on how the PhD is going, and funds and stuff like that.

Definitley! I've already got the Beverley races pencilled in my diary. It was a great evening.

 

[velocidad]

yep, count me in solty.

What happens if you need the toilet after 7pm? It stays light too long at that time of year to pee behind a tent!

 

[Danny]

I was worrying about that too.

You could always invest in one of these and go in your tent.

I could have a word with the attendant & see if they could leave it open a little longer, as they only live 2 mins away, or if it's an issue, the pub garden might be a better idea as the loos will be open till after 11

It'd be a sort of CC rally, wouldn't it? Mrs Uncle Phil and I might ride over.

We might form a York posse for the trip?

Or we could camp in the field and spend the evening in the pub using the facilities until the sun goes down.

A posse? Do we get star shaped badges, and Colt 45's and stetsons?

 

[Amanda P]

Only cardboard ones.

 

[Arch]

A cardboard stetson isn't going to be much use in the rain.

Hmm, I wonder why I associate that part of the world with rain....

It's not like that often, honest.

No sometimes it's too cold to rain & we have ice

So the tip is not to go on a ride you have anything to do with. Oh no, I've said I'll go on the 29th.
