Can anyone hoping to attend the WWB please just make themselves known here. It'll help in finding a suitable parking location.
I've also produced a detailed intinerary to help anyone who's a little unsure or undecided.
May the bridges you burn light your way

Bit wordier than usual there Stu. Couldn't be bothered to read it all
, but I noticed the sketch of a new bike that you've presumably acquired for the occasion? Unless I'm much mistaken it seems you've treated yourself to a retro cow-horn job.

I was thinking more along the lines of a fairing in case of inclement weather...
We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost. You are only lost if you need to be somewhere else and if you really need to be somewhere else then you're probably in the wrong place to begin with.

I'll be thinking of you guys whilst I'm tucking into my my three course Christmas dinner... no doubt followed by a good quantity of *** ahem *** "Christmas Sprit(s)".

Deeply contemplating it Stu....
On my fat bike...
I usually ride on my own (none of my mates can keep up with me.... but there again they are suffering from age related stuff)
So it would be nice to have some craic or is it crack...
But I don’t want to end up camping on my own in a sheep-sh#t infested field on farmland... (hate farmland, prefer the moors or middle of nowhere)
A pint or two would be good too...

Be good to have you along Eric. I usually find us somewhere more interesting than farmland ... not always but usually

What no carefully prepared itinerary or dinner menu? I feel someone’s been led astray but I’m not sure who

That looks like the sort of place that is normally covered in sheep eggs
