British Muni Weekend. Whos going?

I'm going, and yes they are great fun, my first muni weekend was last
year and it was great to be with people who didn't consider my hobby
strange.

On a more serious note...

I've had a few emails asking whether there's an age limit for the
weekend. To (hopefully) clear up any confusion:

There's no age limit for the muni weekend - BUT - remember that unlike a
unimeet or convention there are no organisers to look after you; you
must be able to look after yourselves for the entire weekend, from
camping and eating to what to do if anything should go wrong.

The muni weekend is more like going camping with friends than a
convention, so if you cannot go camping on your own you *must* drag
along a parent or other person who will be responsible for you. There
will be other people there who can lend a hand but in the end everything
is at your own risk.

<bump>

Just to get this to the top of the page where all UK MUni-ers can see
it, get yourself along, you know you want to!!

As mentioned on the other thread, we are going to have some disposable
BBQs to do dinner for the saturday night [weather permitting of
course!!] so bring along sausages, burgers, veggie food, whatever you
want and I'm sure we'll find a place to chuck it on for you!! This is of
course, for those who know me, if you trust my cooking 😉

on Sunday (in the slow group 😎 )

Probably around 10-ish I should think. There's a very good tea'n'cake
room in Holford, so if anyone is late it's hardly a catastrophe... 🙂
Drop someone a line if you end up being earlier or later.

Cwmcarn? Funky. I still haven't muni-ed that, just on two wheels earlier
this year. With reeeeeaaally powerful binoculars you might have been
able to see me on Sunday; I was just over the Bristol Channel riding
from sea level to the top of the highest point in Somerset, Dunkery
Beacon on Exmoor. Cor blimey was it steep...

My kids are definitely staying at home. The youngest rider I remember
was probably aged around 10 (this was a couple of years back), his dad
is also a rider. He struggled on Snowdon and they turned back relatively
early.

Last year there were some mid-teens, I am not sure how many because I
joined the longer route on the first day of which Phil was probably the
youngest! Again on the Sunday the group I rode in had no teenagers as we
did a long ride.

What time is everyone planning to arrive on Friday night, and which pub
are we meeting up in? (I'm assuming we're meeting in a pub, sounds about
right). Will there be parking at the campsite and is the pub a uniiable
distance away?

Phil, could you could PM me some contact details to help with In-Pub
recognition? I haven't met any of you before so I might end up wandering
round the pub asking everyone "Excuse me, BMW?" and get some funny
looks.

Thanks lads.

I think people will be accumulating throughout the day; Adam and I are
planning to get there early afternoon for a bit of a bike (eeeeeek!)
reccy around the place, with most people arriving at some point in the
evening.

Part of our reconnaissance mission will be to find which pub is the
nicest. There appear to be two, the same distance from the campsite but
in opposite directions. I've heard good things about the one in Holford,
so there is the most likely candidate. They are both a rideable
distance, which is handy as this is generally the chosen mode of
transport. There is plenty of room for cars at the campsite.

I'll have my phone on me, so give me a ring when you get there; my
number is 07813 443394. If you end up wandering round a pub you'll
probably be able to see lots of helmets and helmet-hair... 🙂

It'll be great to meet you!

Wee... muni weekend!!

OK, now that excitement has calmed a little...

Rob: I PMed you about your previous offer of a lift from Bristol... is
that still there?

I'm coming down on Saturday and staying to Sunday, from Bath. If anyone
is driving down past Bristol or Taunton etc it would be great to have a
lift - riding 50 odd miles on a muni with luggage isn't the most fun
thing in the world... 🙂

See you guys soon 🙂

P.S. Don't tell phil, but I've been riding in Nant-yr-Arian this week
already, and plan to do it again on Friday 😄

.....I think you just did 😉

And LooseMoose.....Phil will, more than likely, be wearing his legoman
T-Shirt. You can't miss it, no other fool would wear a legoman on a
t-shirt 😉

Now that's just mean, you heartless person! Even with the
dead-easy-but-not-particularly-interesting climb half way round
Nant-yr-Arian could well be the most fun 10 miles in the entire
universe, ever.

Remind me to push you in a muddy puddle at the weekend... :p

Adam, I believe you meant to say "No other fool has enough class, style
and sophistication to wear a legoman on a t-shirt".
