Just filling out the calendar with planned trips next year and wondered if it ok to start getting excited about next year’s WRT and what weekend it’s going to be????

Bottom of page ... it's worth checking the main site from time to time

My Mrs ain't best pleased with the date.
At least I can still annoy her on the tuesday. :D

My Mrs ain't best pleased with the date

Tell her we'll return to the end of May again in 2013 ... next years June date's not my fault. I'm told it's all to do with some celerbration down in that, there London place.

Looks like I may be able to make it, its now between two weddings. I was worried I was going to miss it.

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.

Bugger can't make it, I will be tackling the extremely mountainous Rrijwielelfstedentocht!

Local camp site would be very welcome.

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?

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?

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)

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

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!

Right thats it, Im making it my mission to get to you chaps this year, Ive been talking about it for 2 years...!!!!!

That's the sprit, I'm working on what I hope will be the *'best' set of grid references we've had.

I read that as more swearing and muttering to myself as I traipse through a bog up to my knees.

I know a good path for that

I know where that one is, so I think I'll avoid that thanks.

Aren't they b'tards Network Rail ... fancy not keeping the platforms clear

Is it too early to speculate the general area the event will be heading this year?
