Suffolk Long Weekend

[Bob Pinder]

Right listen up playmates

I have spoken with the YHA hostels and they want to charge ?3.75 per person per night.
This accomodation is in a dormitory which sleeps sixty and has bunk beds.
There is no extra charge for peeps who wish to sleep on top.
We will share two showers, two toilets and one kitchen with the female dorm.
Normally the female dorm is hired out to ramblers, the social services or girl guides.
The only slight snag is that they have a curfew of 22.00 which I said would not be a problem:dunno:

Regarding transport I have spoken to Reggie and Cyril and they want ?125.00 for the hire of the twelve seater sprinter for, four days this includes everything except collision damage. This is for anyone to drive.

Cyril is coming back to me with a price for the extra long wheelbase van which he reckons we can get 8/10 bikes in.

Does anyone have any tie downs or will bungees do?

Thats all for now and I'll post more when I get it.

 

[davet]

am I going to need any dressing up things?

Yes sam
Just bring wot you normaly wear sling backs & rugger shirt:}


Thanks bubba for the loacl tips we will be sure & look you up as we might well need a guide.





:beer:

 

[Bob Pinder]

Reggie's just come back to say that if we hire both vans then they'll throw in a trailer so we can take our luggage.
This means you will be limited to one medium size suit case each.
Is this enough space:dunno:

 

[davet]

Van & accomodation sound good bob & i am sure sharing our dorm will not be a problem!!!!!!


bungees will be ok to tie down the bikes

 

[D.S.]

Bob, all sounds good to me!

Musical Instruments Anybody?

Just thinking out loud really should I bring my electronic drum kit along?
Anyone want to bring any other instruments?
With the two vans and trailer we have quite a bit of room.

[Bob Pinder]

B-B-Q

I now have the offer of two 40 gallon oil drums converted into BBQ's (only to borrow for no cost)
Do I say yes or no to these:dunno:

 

[Supabird1100]

If We Have Room In The Van Bob.............

Chuck 'em on !!!!!:}

Love's a barbie, I do !!!!!...Can I help with the cooking ???:dunno:

 

[PsychoBikerBen]

Should you include some 'women's products' in the list ???

x1 vibrator , a set of jump leads and a Landrover battery.
Don't over do it with the sherry!


I can only make the trip if the laquer on my hard luggage has dried.

 

[Bob Pinder]

Steve

If you are going to be the cook do you prefer oil or lard:dunno:
Just let me know and I'll arrange

 

[Supabird1100]

For A Barbie, Bob............

It just has to be oil !!!

Tell you what would be good ???....Can we get some of that sunflower oil in a spray bottle ????:dunno: Makes life a lot easier cos you can spray it on the B-B-Q rather than having to brush it on.

At a push it can also double up as chain lube if anybody needs it.:bow:

What do you think ????

 

[Bob Pinder]

Sounds Good

My local Safeway are doing a buy one get one free on the large (750ml) size.
I'll just go ahead and get two - should be enough no:dunno:
