Be good to have you there :D

Would a move to Ludlow be unpopular? I can hopefully use work as a venue for not much coin and the alternative is rapidly starting to look like ringing round dozens of farms to use a field as I'm not getting far with proper campsites.

If it became a regular thing we could possibly alternate between here and the place in Leicestershire but I'd rather do something localish first.

Just all pop round here, last time I did an oil change and got spooked by a bloody cat running under the car, oil all over the floor, my neighbour just came straight out with a hose pipe - very enthusiastic he was too.

:D

But in all seriousness, I'd be up for a bit of a drive if it's a case of a good get together and maybe a few answers or experienced pairs of hands with some issues (with the car alright, I don't need experienced hands for any other issues ta!).

Ludlow would be fine for me - not a million miles away and Lana used to live there so I know it reasonable well. Might be heading over for the festival this year but it's a toss up between that and Camper Jam.

Funds permitting I'd like to pop along - I'd probably be in the (yet to arrive) AX, which all no doubt benefit from a fettle.

Ludlow isn't a million miles from here either, so no problem!

Ludlow sounds good. Beautiful scenery around there and good roads. Carding mill valley particulary lovely.

How does August 24th-26th sit with everybody? I've just managed to convince my boss that we can hold it at work :D

Even better, they're not charging a hire fee so it's a free event. We just have to make sure not to make a mess or irritate the neighbours.

Awww. I'll be away. But I'll be there in spirit. I like Ludlow (near to where my folks live, actually).

I am very interested in coming along, I have so much to learn! I just need to get out of a prior commitment on the Sunday morning first though. Am I right in thinking that it's the bank holiday weekend?
