Yep, I'll be there! Will be on a white nomadc - number 651 I think. Did the Kielder round and loved it. Real friendly atmosphere and great fun weekend. Just hoping this one is gonna be a bit drier!

Camping at Foxholes Castle on the recommendation of others as it has right posh, new fangled facilities... like running water and showers!! Free camping mentioned on the Gravity Enduro website isn't so much free-of-charge camping, more "free" in the sense of wild-camping! A field plus portaloos...

I'm signed up, but that's all I know. Not even sure where it is. I should probably find out now...

Seems like a long tie since getting covered in mud at Ae. Missed Kielder and Inners but back for this one. Hoping the rain on Sunday arrives late.

No. 736 and trying not to be slowest qualifier in I'd geezers this time

I'll be there on my upgraded Carrera Fury. It's certainly nothing like the standard noe with lots of blue going on. It's quite distinctive! Hopefully I'll see come of you guys around

Me too with my chihuahua for pit support (yes really..) On a Scott Genius LT. Like jamescoulson I didnt fancy the shower-free camping at the eastridge and have opted for brow farm just over the hill.

Cant wait!

I'm coming with Fortunateson and two others. I'll be on a very white prophet. Haven't done any of the 661 ones before but have done the I cycles Inners enduro and enjoyed that. are people able to ride between stages with their mates in this series r is at very structured and timing tight?

I'll be there with the RaveRacing guys. On my slightly wounded zesty, hoping for a bit more luck than the first three rounds...

Mafiafish - if Parr stays true to form, the link stages will be pretty relaxed.

Oh, and it really would be rude not to drink beer wouldn't it?

I'll be piloting my green NS Surge around the woods. Can't wait.

Any other hardtailers?

Looks like it should just about stay dry for qualis:
