I'll be camping, or rather stumbling into my tent or car on the helipad again. No doubt jono and the Radcliffe posse will be on it too with thd love bus.

Wanting to go on this but looks like i'll be making my own way down, anybody got a spare bed for the Friday, will pay for my share of digs?

Going to camp the Saturday.

Left it too late to get a cheap room for the Friday.

Anybody ever got the train down to MK

I am thinking of getting the train down Friday morning/afternoon then coming back Sunday, after getting the train to the London Rad Ride, booking the bike one was easy and I can get tickets there and back for less than £50 and no changes, first class coming back a cheap as £38

Staying over in hotel with on the Friday and camping on the Saturday, how much stuff do people take. Tent/sleeping bag is a must plus change of clothes and basic toiletries. Do people take food or just find a pub for breakfast etc.

Just thinking might be a squeeze with the luggage on the train and its about 3 mile from train station to the lake in MK. Can drive down but cant be arsed with the drive back on the Sunday.

I've get the train every year, it's a doddle getting there, getting to MK Stn on the Sunday is a killer though, I won't lie, always seems to be a headwind riding back. Riding to the Hotel/track from the Station is ace though, the excitement and adrenalin seems to make it go really quickly.

I always do it with a big rucksack on, I have done it with a tent etc, but a Hotel means travel light, and shite in a nice bog.

fook it, a few miles riding to train station rough is nothing, just cant be arsed driving back home rough

Going to decide this week and book tickets or not then buy a tent, this is going to be a fooking adventure

It's a good adventure too mate. I have to change at Crewe, if we plan it right, we can meet there and travel down together.

Couple years ago everyone seemed to favour the Holiday Inn... so we chose the Premier Inn... D'oh

Last year the majority were in the Premier Inn... so we chose the Holiday Inn... Double D'oh

This year we have stayed with the Holiday Inn... its safer/easier to get Benno home in one piece at the closest hotel.

We only changed last year due to the Holiday Inn doubling their rates due to 'other events' being held over the weekend of MK.

This year they're back to about £50 a night i believe

£18 tent bought from Halfords for the Saturday night and BMX booked on to trains.

Fooking all done now, sharing a room with Dan in Room 19 on Friday

Does anybody camp on the Saturday night? or you all in hotels?

I don't think you need to worry about that Pete, obviously with your comments in another thread it offends you that we have food and drink for the members.

So I can't see how you can partake anyway, otherwise it would be a tad hypocritical of you.

It's only FREE if you don't have a SST and refrain from making a decent donation to the honesty jar/raffle on the weekend, but still partake and enjoy the hospitality of the forum and organisers.
