Premier Tents, it's a new line. Guaranteed no sleep.

And no, I shan't be going as the trip is just too much for the time available.

Plenty of fields for your tents in Suffolk Roy, and they're flat!

How did you persuade the sixth form to attend Roy? Main thing is make sure they are over 18 before buying them a beer.

Hope to go, not pre-booked. If I just rock up will there be room? I'd plan to leave early Thursday morning and take it very steady then leave Monday morning, I'm sure the website said that is possible so makes four nights.

Still only done a little over 100 miles since fitting the relined barrel and new piston so may not pull the trailer and will go for the old worn out throw overs. Have run up to indicated 65 mph for a couple of short spells and cruising at 40 - 45 so hopefully no nipping up to occur on a longer ride? I'll bet I get a warning from Rob H. Anyway it's all downhill from North Yorkshire.

Plan to ride up to work at Bishop tomorrow, Ron, unless it's very wet. So that'll be another 70 odd miles.

Alternative will just nicely see me up to enough miles to pop off the rocker box and torque the head bolts a little.

Not for the Alternative you can't. I think you're getting confused with next year's Jampot.
