[PistonFest]

It would be great to see you guys 'n' gals, come join the fun & festivities.......any takers?

[goodlife]

Yes. But might not be on the bike...

[rsvnigel]

Sadly not, its over 350+ miles one way

[s2ooz]

yeah, Im looking at going, whats the deal anyway, it seems like its more than just a PH meet? whats going on during the weekend?

[PetrolTed]

See www.pistonfest.com for the details. It will be updated as the planning unfolds...

[DennisTheMenace]

hummmm yeh might have to bring the kwack up sounds like its going to be fun , Ted do we get in half price if we are on 2 wheels

Denny.

Might I suggest avoiding the motorway route. A couple of weeks ago I went to Gaydon near Warwick using M4 Jcn 17 upto Malmsbury, Cirencester oop north via the old Fosseway etc. You can obtain some truely ballistic 59mph stretches, the sceneries not bad when stuck behind numpties although on the kwack I'm sure that's not an issue.

Cheers Daz i was thinking of a route avoiding the motorways they can get very boring on a bike

You riding up aswell then ?

[dazren]

Going by car mate, but hopefully making progress at a similar rate as some of the more enthusiastic motorcyclists might achieve. Numpty quotient permitting of course.

Daz nice porker mate might have to get a southwest convoy together then

[dazren]

I'm doing both days, if you're up for the saturday as well we may as well do a southwest convoy, it'll be a laugh.

DAZ

[DennisTheMenace]

I will be doing the 2 days as well , when will you be travelling up ? will it be saturday morning or friday night ? also daz where abouts in the sowf west are ya ?

[dazren]

10 minutes from Gordano Services on the M5.

I'll probably head ooop north saturday morning aiming to get there for about 10.30/11am.

DAZ

[DennisTheMenace]

Ok mate going to get hold of Bob the (flying flat cap) planner and see if he's going up , try to get a small convoy could meet near chippenham or is that a bit out of the way ?

[dazren]

Just north of Chippenham south of Jcn 17 of the M4 will be great.

DAZ

[DennisTheMenace]

Just booked my ticket meet you there Daz

[Tim2100]

Probably going but unsure weather on Bike or in Westfield or Car.

[hertsbiker]

...interesting... maybe a reconsider is in order??

[rsvnigel]

Are there any bike friendly B&Bs near?

I'm not that keen on the outdoors thing, and lugging a tent down from Edinburgh on the mille is a non starter.

[PistonFest]

There's about 50 B+B's on the main road (B4632)from Stratford heading towards the PistonFest site (Across the river Avon, turn right at the Shell Petrol Station)- you could always take a chance en-route. Or alternatively, if you want to book somewhere in advance: www.hotels-in-england.co.uk/warwick/strat-avon.htm#jump
