I really wanted to do this event but work changed so I'm now unfortunately out :( guess ill have to do it on my tod again in may. Good luck everyone, it's a hard route but very rewarding :)
I'll be there. This will be the first event I've been to so looking forward to putting faces to some of the names from here.
I'm driving up on Thursday and staying at Lobb Fields camp site. If anyone else is staying there come and say hi. I'll be easy to spot, I'm the bald bloke in his late 40s who'll be constantly packing, unpacking and re-repacking a bike whilst checking the weather forecast every 10 minutes trying to decide how little kit I can get away with

I don't think that's going to narrow it down much! ;-)

We've got a red toyota yaris which is ideal transport for 2 adults, camping kit and a bike
Did the Craigie not sign yours? I'll have a word if not...
We've had our share of inappropriate family vehicles too! Anyhow come and say hi if you spot us

We've got to find somewhere to eat as well. I see there's a couple of pubs in town so one is bound to be OK. I'm more concerned about the weather forecast for Friday, hopefully it will change by the time Friday comes round.
Good luck everyone. Hopefully the weather isn't a repeat of last year's Storm Katie.
sean_iow: there's a couple of pubs and a couple of restaurants but being Easter they can be busy so booking would be advised. We ate at SQ - one of those "we can fit you in if you are reasonably quick" seatings.
