after setting alarms, 25 minutes and spinning wheels and page reloads, managed to get in. nearly 2 years in the planning. well chuffed.

Still trying to get my tickets 🙁

I’m stuck on the entry screen. Put me and the Wife’s details in, but it won’t let me progress!

I got stuck there too for a while but it eventually let me progress and pay.

Now just to decide on tyre choice…

I’m just clicking the book event button at the bottom. I get the loading circle for half a second then it does nothing…

I’ll keep trying a praying! Missed the 200 last year, booked the 130 then ended up being ill so I couldn’t make it lol.

500 Server Error

I’m getting a mix of that, not being able to progress due to the t-shirt sizes being an invalid choice and now it’s a blank screen.

It’s back, I have an eMail receipt…

Just getting a blank screen now. This is a bit annoying…

I’m not able to get past the entry screen, it seems to just freeze. Do entries normally sell out quickly or is it worth trying again later on?

The 200 sold out fairly quickly last year 🙁 I’m in the same boat.

4 of 4 in my group got in, one of them only got through a few mins ago.

Keep trying.

Right, managed it. I found that any gaps in data fields caused a problem (in my case it was leaving a gap in a phone number).

Can’t even get the page to load in Chrome. Got the form filled in Edge, but button just isn’t working to book it 🙁

Used Firefox, having disabled the privacy software and it worked first time

Those who got in: do you just have to keep spamming the big red “book event” button? It’s a shambles.

Registered, signed up, booked camping, stress free pleased to say, just an expensive weekend as signed up for the Dorset Dash Yesterday as well.

Cleared cache, still didn’t work with 2 entries. Tried with one entry and it went through. Now trying to get my missus an entry and it’s playing up again…

They’re getting a bit shirty on Facebook telling people they’re not “tech savvy” and someone is working on it.

Quicker and less stressful just to download Firefox and entered no problem. Didn’t even have to fiddle about with privacy settings.

Cheers djFlex.

Tried Firefox, Chrome and Edge. All stopping at the same point now, get a loading circle on the book now button for half a second then nothing happens.

Missus eventually got through on her laptop! She just kept trying and it finally progressed.

I suspect most of the fixes tried were just coincidence and it’s just the luck of the refresh 🙁

Looking at booking the camping, but you canny book for just the Friday night! So £20 for one nights stay… 😩

We’ve hired a self-contained camper, but it looks like the camper pitches aren’t on the booking page 🙁

All I can see is the tent options.

K1100t, it’s been 2 nights min at the campsite for a few years. I rationalise it that you’re paying for the convenience of being able to occupy your pitch until 5 or 6 o’clock on the Saturday evening, and take your tent down at your leisure. Rather that than a mad scramble pre-breakfast.

All the hard standing pitches for camper vans sold out by 9am.

Haha, typical 🙂

Guess I should have booked that first! Might have to live on the car park then.

The 200 has sold out already!

Doesn’t surprise me at all. We took our time last year then went to buy a ticket thinking we had loads of time…

Yup, they’ve done a good job promoting it. I managed to get it to work first time this morning. Although I don’t remember a T-shirt size option like what is being mentioned on Facebook.

@sboardman

Mmmnn me too.

I’m in for the 200 and have the camping booked – now I just need a bike…

Dang I wanted to do it again next year. I don’t remember a rush to sign up last year?!

Surprised how quickly it’s selling out now – is it just down to the anticipation of it selling out? In the past I’ve waited weeks before signing up. Quite fancied doing it as well.

they were using a commodore 64 as a server….

Can’t believe the 200 and the 130 gone already!

Will they get shirty if i buy a 65 entry and just do the 200? I don’t recall anyone on the route last year checking?

Brilliant event….

So well managed and supported.

I enjoyed my one time go at it, fabulous place 👍

Was going to camp as the plan was to come on my own. Now wifey wants to come and has booked a £330 water side lodge and apparently I am paying for.

@crimsondynamo I get the reasoning, and thinking about it critically, it’s a good fall back to have. Was just planning on finishing, jumping in the cart and driving a couple of hours to my brothers and kipping there. I suppose this gives me the option of just crashing if I’m totally wasted.

Will they get shirty if i buy a 65 entry and just do the 200? I don’t recall anyone on the route last year checking?

Think that falls under ‘Breach of Rule #1’, to be honest.

And people were checking last year. I was one of them…

2 mates got in but I didn’t after all the glitches, so I’m just going for a ride in the forest with a load of other people who signed up for an event!!

@robbie can you maybe see if you can get on the reserve list for the 200? If there are any withdrawals then you’ll get a place?

I’d suggest that it’s pretty poor form just to do it without entering. If too many people try that then it screws up the logistics.
