I managed to get 2x Houx Rank 29, places 7 + 14, a friend of mine got 6 + 15 and another friend of mine got places 2 + 19.
Is there anybody here who got 5 + 16, or 8 + 13 and wants to swap places so we can have 6 adjacent places?
Beers will be provided for the generous people who can make this happen!

Thanks in advance,

Vincent

Your other options are:
1. Get there first and just move the little plastic pegs. In general the 'guides' on bikes don't know the alphabet, can't count, and goldfish joke about them having short memories so won't click the spaces in rank 29 go 5/8/1/2/3/4 and 13/16/9/10/11/12 (though obviously if the swap involves 'good' and 'bad' pitches you should take the 'bad' one as if you move someone else's peg from a partial tree pitch to a clear one they are less likely to complain than if you swap them from a clear one to a partial tree).

2. Just be friendly and make the 'others' part of your group.

I'll try the friendly option at the time, but would be nice to have arranged it upfront. Don't think it will be a problem.

Haha this made me laugh. I remember when Houx was not marked pitches.

Arriving one Friday evening in the early 90's there was no space anywhere, even though we purchased the camping permits at the gatehouse, so we unpegged a few unattended tents and moved them closer together to make enough space for our tents.

Cracked a few beers with our neighbours later an no one seemd to notice.

Contrast that with how bloody difficult it is getting Houx tickets now.
