My last work day before I start helping the set up. I know of at least one family who are guests but have turned up early already!

Please post up questions and and any advice for newbies to the event.

I will start with : NO DOGS, No worries, bring beer money and a card for the auction!

Can you turn up on the day or is it ticket only? Might ride over from Southampton if we can get in (Saturday) 🙂

Ticket only I am afraid – and sold out since about March with approximately 300 people on the ‘waiting’ queue.

It is frighten how successful this has got since the original Singletrack Southern Festival in my garden

I’m marshalling this year. So get to ride my bike round all day every day heckling those at the back.

Hurry up chaps!*

*might need to work on that bit

I was at the original Garden Festival all those years ago…. hope its drier than it was then.

We have started many lists of things to pack….

I’m working Friday, plan to leave the Shire at 18:30 and arrive Friday evening.

SSCX here.

I remember firing the BBQ up under tha garage door and still having to drill holes in the bottom because it was filling up!

Fond memories

WCA – any chance of streaming via Red Bull TV the last round of the UCI XCO from Italy onto a big screen somewhere ❓

streaming via Red Bull TV

I will check out what is possible. I have a spare TV in the garage so might be able to rig something up. Will look at it tomorrow

We can’t make it this year sadly. I bet it’ll be ace!

Loading the truck.

Anything I have missed?

All packed and off to Avon Tyrrell for the weekend!!

I’m now questioning why I didn’t buy a ticket..

In a perpetual web loop, I am linking to my ‘DrP failed to spot this thread’ thread….
