Re: WRT 2012
Right, I know it's still a long way off but certain things need to be put into motion pretty early. There's various ideas floating about in my head which may or may not happen. Here's one to start with ... would it be of interest?
Local campsite avaliable on the Fri night and maybe the Mon night too. Would no doubt require booking/paying directly with the campsite in question. Less than 1.5 miles from the start.

Re: WRT 2012
Local camp site would be very welcome.
Re: WRT 2012
With the extra bank holiday, there is the option to spend 3 nights out. Any plans or are you going to want us gone on the monday?

Re: WRT 2012
Yeah I guess a local camp site would be handy its a good 4 hour drive for us so an extra night maybe an option?

Re: WRT 2012
The WRT itself will remain a 2 night out affair but the option to camp on the Monday night may well be there (if the camping idea comes off)With the extra bank holiday, there is the option to spend 3 nights out. Any plans or are you going to want us gone on the monday?

I'm now working on the idea of bacon butties before the start :)

Re: WRT 2012
Well it appears that there will be camping at this years wrt. The campsite's just over a mile from the start so it should be handy enough. Not sure about prices yet but when I know so will everyone else
All being well on-line entries should be open at the end of the month ... woohoo contain your excitement!

I read that as more swearing and muttering to myself as I traipse through a bog up to my knees.Best may mean different things to different people

Re: WRT 2012
I know a good path for that
Re: WRT 2012
I know where that one is, so I think I'll avoid that thanks.
