DrP - What about LittleP? There is a ticket but you left out their ID details on this thread.

PS Mankini wearing requires a full Brazilian on stage on Saturday!

I think my group numbers 10 adults and half a dozen kids. I have no distinguishing features beyond being a bit skinny with not much hair. No idea what bike I'll take. We'll be one of the clusters of camper vans 🙂

Have a great time everyone, it sounds great.

Big hello to WCA & Dr P, and someone say hi to the Elf if you see him.

Fingers crossed for the weather for you all.

Truck battery charging. Tvr loaded and good to go.

Sorry about missing you Rob but the beer delivery guy at South Western (supplier of the bar gear) said you had forgotton to borrow the van so I guessed beer would be late. As it happened my truck died so I was even later.

I should have taken my reliable TVR instead (For Sale at the BBB!)

I think we should all chip in to buy the TVR on the understanding WCA uses it to do the lake jump.

All packed, now the wife is at work I can overrule her insistence we don't need a coolbox for beer and one for food. Can't wait for this afternoon!

Working this morning, have this afternoon off to get my hair cut (I don't want to look scruffy on the lake jump), pick up one bike from shop, maybe unpack one bike that might be arriving today, shop, choose bike to take, pack and hit the BBB road in A Camper Called Clive 🙂
