[Paddy_NL]

Sander didn't get to speak to her in the end. Asked him yesterday, and he said he will forward her email address to me to get in contact with the right person via her.

You can now count me in also for the Silverstone LMS.

What's the current situation regarding camping? Whittlebury Hall?  Friday night?

[DelBoy]

Just watch this space, Steve.  We're waiting on a response from a French LMS lady (via Paddy), to see if we can get the infield.

If this is a no-goer, then it looks like it will have to be Whittlebury Hall.  I've already been in touch with them - tents will be separated from caravans, although 'not far away'.

Wherever, I'll be getting there probably lunchtime on Friday.

Look forward to seeing you there

If tents are going to be seperated from caravans/camper vans (presumably because of electrical hookups/waste outlets etc) then I guess the communal gazebo area will need to be with you Del?

I'm meeting Bobblehat for lunch tomorrow. Although he had no joy with the BRCC, I'll ask him to reccie and other campsites nearby or maybe pubs with large gardens that might be accomodating!

Paddy & Rick will also be be with me, so I guess we'll work something out if that's where we end up.

I've located a few of these around the area but all state, in Camping & Caravan Club terms, "Own Sanitation Essential".  ie they have no shower/toilet facilities and whilst this may not be too much a problem for the blokes, I think the ladies would object .

I thought Paddy was selling his Camper? (OK, I know Rick keeps saying he's selling his too but it's been on the market for three years now!  )

As for own Sanitation on the other sites, hopefully a pub type site would open the pub loos?

Having stayed on many pub sites, it's a bit of a lottery.  Some open the loos only during pub opening hours, others have separate access 24/24... Unless you know the pub/site, you don't know till you get their.

The one pub site near Silverstone I tried (New Inn at Abthorpe) only had a small field - not big enough to cater for the dozen or so tents/'vans or so expected.

However, if someone can find another suitable site in the area, it may be worth a try.  Don't forget that it is not exactly a 'tourist' area, and there are not many sites listed in my book(s).

If loads come in 'campers' etc. If they all park closeby and wind out awnings, that would make a decent 'clubhouse' and a cover over us in sleeping bags.  So all we need is a car park!

[Lazy B'stard]

Any progress on the camping front?- the barrel-o-monkeys are getting restless!

[Steve Pyro]

Yes, I've only just packed away my finally dry tent after LM!

[alibongo]

Looking ahead a bit, I am thinking about attending the LMS event at Silverstone.

Who else is going?

What/where are the camping facilities (I'll bring the 'van)??

[Paddy_NL]

Yes, it is: http://tinyurl.com/2wczxq

But I will probably come by company van though, so I'll be prepared for a 2005 repeat!


Mail to that lady of the LMS organisation will go out tonight (have been rather busy).
