To be honest we have very little chance of keeping all of us together the whole way on a bank holiday weekend and would be better off breaking up into groups of 4/5 and meeting at pre-set locations on route.

What we do need is somewhere to pitch together when we arrive and mobile numbers just in case.

Been have a bit of a chat with Jonathan pver this and we (well he) have a;ready identified a meeting point just outside of the docks when we arrive.

I think no more than 4 buggies in groups and pre set meeting points every 2 hours or so.

I will contact the president of the ABC to try and get a large camping plot all together.

Chad, I did all that you said.

Just a note, I see from us putting 'IBW at the gate' I assume or in my case 'have' put the total to pay blank.

Registration has been accepted 

refueling stops just wondering what the worst buggy will be doing as some folks running small tanks will need more refueling stops, the Jas does 150 miles safely between refills but should go up to 170-180 on the fumes so will need a refill about 40 miles before the ferry then 100 miles after so half way to IBW, 
apparently full extra fuel cans are not allowed on the ferry but that may be like our gas bottles in the caravan for the channel tunnel turned off and sealed they will be checked but they never looked just accepted what I said.
just got a new airbed that will hopefully stay up.
just looked at the A7 ( it is motorway) route back over the bridge/dam about 30km long then down the coast as we are in no rush for the late night ferry.

really want to do the dam, only time I did it before fog came down just as I got on there and cleared as I came off so saw nothing except 50 yards of road in front of me.

The range in my orange buggy is only about 100-120 miles, take a look at my map.. I've added fuel stops along the route

and I though our range was limiting as the kango does 200 miles.
good outwards route Jon plenty of stops for food and petrol.

it wasn't easy making room for a tank, radiator and electric fan under there 

Been thinking about a 'cheap'costume to make a statement at the Saturday Night Party.

After some chat at Stoneleigh we did think about something typically British. One idea was bowler hats and bow ties. Found these on e-aby.

What do people think

That's not fancy dress.
That's how I dress normally. Don't you wear that to work as well ??


Anything is better than Flags plan ....

I didn't even know there was a "party".
Is there a plan of events ??

If its bowlers or dressing as a morris dancer i will take the bowler

I like the idea of bowler hats and bow ties, as long as I can wear a monacle as well =) but my favourite was the idea of dressing up as knights of the templar. I am happy with either though.

I've clearly missed a lot !
Knights of the Templar !!??
COOL !!!

That was Chad and Flag's original idea... something like this maybe £11 on ebay

I did like the knights templar but everything I looked at was £20 plus.. IF you can find a link for £11 I'll do that 


Dan,

at the IBW there is always a big marquee qhere they serve the food, with a bar for night time sessions (generally at 1 euro a bottle).  But on the Saturday night the host club puts on a 'show' and its the main party night, but saying that Sunday night is always a big night too being as Monday is bank holiday in the Netherlands.
