I'll bring the eye bleach.

He's got a 6 pack now, so it might not look too bad.

Weather is looking might fine!

Luggage sorted for the kids bikes!

Testing!



This will all seem folly when the Barringtons turn up with fully fitting TX21 fabric frame bags in Urban Camo!!

One more sleep to go.

This looks like great fun. Kids are too young here and its a mission to get up there but I'm still jealous

Weather should be great for you guys

Anyone know the midge forecast for tommorrow night ???

Hmmmmm, we are low down and near a swampy inlet.

Could be bad......

Could be fine as we are close to the sea.....

Thanks a lot Matt for sorting this out . I had a cracking ride out with my son Rory; we cycled we cooked we camped I drank .
Good weather good company good fun.
Thanks to all who came.

What a great weekend. Sunshine, sea, sand, fat bikes, ice cream, fish and chips, ice-cold beer, midges, banter, kids tearing round, international space station, bacon rolls, marshmallows, open fire, wild camp. Ace :)

Thanks Matt for organising, and thanks everyone for great company.

vaguely exciting weekend; thanks to Matt for organising and everyone else for making it a truly memorable weekend for the whole Gair Family.

Kids found the travelling in the heat a bit much so we're planning one more local to Chepstow for August 16/17. Anyone up for it?

The Peregrine Trail looks like our best bet: http://www.sustrans.org.uk/sites/defaul ... nepath.pdf

Campsite here: http://www.syecampsite.co.uk. with pub nearby if required!

Good photos!

Was a great weekend, thanks to everybody who turned up. Our two girls loved it and gave it 10/10 now they want to do it again.

Looks brilliant, maybe next year when ours are a little bigger???

Nice work.

Looks great, gutted we had to miss it but what with politics and an expected trip back home for a funeral my whole week got turned upside down.

Luca was particularly gutted as he wanted to win - I had explained many times it wasnt a race but he wanted to be in front of whatever it was!

Makes me want to have kids again...

Still, grandchildren are both in their second year now, so maybe in a couple of years.

Wildgecko, that site is on my comute; the Saracens Head Inn is adjacent (owned by a mtber) and the site owners do canoeing. The Peregrine trail is level but a bit 'there and back' though can be incorporated into a little loop including a ferry crossing and a wire suspension bridge
