I have heard back from Tony and another low loader will not be a problem.

Ive just looked it up and Lincomb is around 150 miles away so about 5 hours in the mog. Is anyone running down from Lancs/Cumbria West Yorks?? Id do it in convoy but be pretty grim on my own!!

Are we still looking at the 12/13th July? I just had a moment of panic, thought a friend's wedding was being arranged for the same date but the mrs has just calmed me down and assures me it's not! :D

Are we any closer to getting the forms sorted Brian? Time's passing fast and I'm getting excited now!

Edit... I just checked a motorway free route to see how long it will take and I'm looking at about an hour and a half. Better allow two in the mog?

yeah, should have it up by the end of the week :)

And I don't know really, we often find that it's not really that much quicker in a car than a 900, but I would just as a precaution :)

Now I've spotted that one of my brakes is constantly on I reckon mine will go a bit faster once that's sorted! :D

As a side note, do we want to advertise the meet outside of the forum at all? There will be a few people on Benzworld who I'm sure would be interested, and maybe a couple on Arbtalk too. There are plenty of users who haven't even found this place yet, so maybe pulling a few in this way could be good? I don't know how many we want to have there? How many could it comfortably hold without us getting out of hand?

It is up to Brian as to how big he wants the event.  The current area that I have earmarked for camping will comfortably hold 8 - 10 tents and trucks but if the event grows bigger than that then we can either park the trucks in a different clearing in the woods to the camping or set up in a different part of the farm altogether.

When we have held Land Cruiser events there we have had 40+ vehicles and tents.

Thanks Ian. My main concern was that we could be over doing our welcome if too many of us showed up, so that's good to know.

I'll wait to see what Brian has to say on the matter before posting elsewhere. For now I shall crack on with my attempt at a PTO powered spit roaster... 8)

It looks like about half a dozen people are interested but, as you have said, there has only been limited exposure.  There was talk of a few coming down with several Mogs on a low loader.  I don't know if that is still the case. 

Nudge  - can we have the form up soon please so we can get a better idea of numbers?
