Good move doubling up on the Pure gold.

yeah, especially if Ton does come 😉

I’m interested. I’ll see if I can get the good lady’s approval.
It looks a long way from Wakefield, though.

brokensoul – people have traveled further and said it is worth it. If you want to stay longer you can stay at the camp site, you just book iut with Avon Tyrrell. I know a few families make it a weeks holiday either starting or ending with the Big Bike Bash. Gives you a cheap holiday which I am sure the good lady will love!

I’ll see if I can get 2 nightshifts off.
If I can, I’m in.

What’s the difference between a Pump track and a Gravity track then ?

Sensible (boring 😳 ) question, there be a ‘quiet’ campsite/area for those of us with young children?

Would be great if I could bring the family.

and what time does it all kick off/earliest we can setup camp on friday?

Pump track goes around in circles on the flat. A Gravity track is like a down hill BMX track.

LoCo – the main campsite is reasonably quiet in the evening as the noisy folk tend to be in the beer tent and listening to the live music until late / early and then settle down quickly. We encourage the ones who are likely to be noisy to camp down in the arena.

You can turn up from about 3pm Friday. Turn up, put up your tent and then head down to the beer/admin tent to get your wrist bands etc.

Ok thanks, shall have a chat which Mrs L tonight. 😀

Google it. There are various threads on here with view from parents. I remember one from a lady with an autistic son who said it was the most relaxed and enjoyable event they had been to.

loads of stuff for non-riders too

I am so flipping gutted I’m missing this… 😕

Don’t worry – there is a firkin of Bullheart Ale so you will be there in spirit! 50p from every pint gets donated to your Team Bullheart just giving page.

So drinking beer and raising money for a good cause at the same time, great combo

Is the cake stall there again this year ?

muke – I will ask Mrs Treviss if she will be there or if she will bring a cake just for you. what type?

I must say the cakes were top notch last year, well all the ones I tried were and I had a fair few 😆

Yeah Luke – She was worried that if she came back this year you would eat her tooo! Only joking. I will as Matt if his Mum is coming along

BBB. Will we be able to camp on Sunday night too?

No need for special service for me, as Luke said last years cakeage was very good. Coffee/walnut and Lemon drizz were the business.

UPDATE: timetable of events uploaded on BBB website

http://www.bigbikebash.co.uk

That’s good.

Can we get the site plan up there too once we have made it up please Jimmers?

In fact, we should the welcome packs ready by Friday with various other bits in them like camping instructions. I will try to get these to you in a batch on Friday and perhaps you could get them all up loaded in one go.

Provisional band listing from Avon Tyrrell…..

Red India – local lads from brockenhurst/bransgore, indie stuff with punk/joy divison type sound
Jo Oldfield – folky soloist
Foul Geese – middle aged blokes from Deptford, weird electronica with a great stage presence
Bakstreets – 2 brothers but not sure what they are like
Black Circles band – all in black and sounded like the Queens of the Stone age.

Broken soul the answer is yes but you will need to pay and book with Avon Tyrell

brokensoul – you can stay for the following week if you like. It is a proper permanent camp site with proper brick built showers and toilets and hot running water all weekend. Extra nights can be booked direct with Avon Tyrrell at extremely reasonable rates.

There is often cheap beer on Sunday afternoons too!

Great stuff, thanks.
It’s the cheap beer and lake jump I’m coming down for.

What’s the best town or postcode to use for checking the weather forecast?

Bransgore village I would say or Avon Tyrrell postcode is BH23 8EE

No fypast of the Vulcan this year,its been grounded by a leaking fuel tank 🙁

Maybe a few of these about though…
