LOFOs August 2nd ride out.

[devilsyam]

assuming i survive the usa trip might be in as more local then the usal lofo's

[bri h]

Did someone say little old ladies im supposed to be working but may be on holiday so im just in if I have the time off. 

[Punkstig]

I can comfortably put up 3 focers for the night, but we are still weather dependant anyway!

[stevie-g1968]

Its going to be a last minute yes or no from me, got to work it around kids, work and my holiday.   

[HarryHornby]

Watch this space....I could be up for this.  Punk, can I bag a bed/sofa/space on the floor for this?  only coz I fancy a night away from the wife and I like the sound of your gold coated windows 


It's a focing long way for us real (north east Kent) LOFOs though.


How about a camping pitstop on the Saturday eve God knows if I'll get a pass for that, but worth a thought.......

[Dead Eye]

I'm definitely in I find myself usually in a similar position to Nick, where South and South-East just aren't as accessible (granted I'm closer than Nick)

It's still a bit of a leg over to Oxford, but it's not that bad and I don't have to use a single mile of motorway - I get to use several roads that I know and enjoy

[esetest]

I would like to tag along for part of the route. Start at Eynsham then drop out at Chippenham .

Course you can  Still not sure we'll actually do Chippenham itself, but will go not far from there.

Camping? Overnight stays in boats? Keeerist, what have I started?!

Harry has first choice of bed (mine is excluded for obvious reasons!)

[midden]

Sometimes being the only member of the WWF (west wales foccers) is tough....last year we had a bbq & I had too much bucks fizz and then knocked myself out......nobody helped me!

anyway lets cobble something together, im wiling to B&B it up somewhere so that I have greater reach so who is up for doing what from all of this then......could Wales still be on the cards to a certain degree from the East or from the North East maybe because it sounds like a couple on this thread could be interested when we get towards the West?

But as is on your current route plan it looks like dofo going would be:-

Nick
noggy
punkstig
red ceri

maybes

Dazza
slim
deadeye
arfa

if the maybes turned to defos then that would be 8 which aint bad so longs as some of the defos don't pull out

Hey Nog each of the rare occasions I've been available to sort my wwf  pt  membership you've been working or massaging the cats arse

[noggythenog]

Midden.....we all have needs.......you have needs, i have needs.....my cat has complex needs


Just tell work that you have a funeral........noggys cat has died & you are one of the coffin barers.


Big thanks again to punkstig for the offer of a stay on das boot...plus Red Ceri for the camping offer....as much as i know id end up steaming & falling in the river & having fun i think i am gonna go with a B&B somewhere close to the start point because i want to travel light without sleeping bags or camping gear or all the big trip gear...ill already have my far from home bits n bobs anyway so i want to minimse baggage and a B&B is perfect as i dont need to pack a towel or food or various gubbings...all ill need is spare scants and t shirt then.


Looks like this is pretty much a green light then is it Nick?

[Hedgetrimmer]

Yep, assuming we get half decent weather for it. PM'd ya.

[dazza]

Think I'm going to pre book the Sat and Sun night off work and come along to this one.
Might take you up on your offer Punkstig if you still have room.
I know Nick's put a bit of thought and leg work into this one and I'm sure he's planned a cracking little route for us, so would be rude not to + Noggy's coming all the way from a foreign country.

[Hedgetrimmer]

Well done dazza 

Now, where's that red98 fella? Seems very reticent about all this, what's he afraid of? Worried you might bump into an old flame in Chippenham, Paul? 





 

[red98]

what am i afraid of.....mmmmm.....thinking back to last years failed attempt at sammy millars,not getting there due to too many tea stops etc.....what sort of problems are we going to have on this ride ?.......wont be the tea stops holding us up,or bacon butties,or fuel stops for the thirsty thou`s,or piccie stops,or chatting to the older generation  ,or waiting for the slow yellow ones.......no, MR NOG  .....now hes a pretty chatty foccer on the keyboard,what the foc is he like in real life  ......meeting at the garage services,are we going to get off the forecourt ? 


iam in.....cant miss a chance of meeting foc-u`s scots/welsh legend    [size=78%] [/size]

[Hedgetrimmer]

Great, red's in. Now, am I expected to line up a date for him?  Noggy, can you bring a sheep with you? 

[noggythenog]

Luckily im much quieter in real life.


At least im understood via keyboard.....ok even that is debateable


Just nod....or keep the helmet on.


As for talking to the older generation......well i will be if you come along red.


Would you take the thou or 600?

More than welcome, you'll fit nicely under my daughters bed!

Bit harsh.....dazza is a human being....not a goblin........or is he

[red98]

Didnt realise you two had already met......

[noggythenog]

Lucky im on a red thou....all the cheek i dish out im due a few hidings

[noggythenog]

Anyway....Nick has also kindly offered me lodgings at Crisp Manor House so not only are these LOFO's the most 2 wheel sociable but are also the most accommodating...my grandfathers family did hail from ye olde isle o shepey though so perhaps im drawn to my roots..........nah.....i dont do London


Still hefty journeys to either punkstig or Nick but Nick unlucky for you you're lodgings are a whole 1 hour closer.......but ill be having an epic warm up for sure via some of Wales finest roads.....and eateries of course .....gotta get in proper training so i can show how foccing much of a fat bastard i am

[red98]

Mmmmmm...just thinking, we call ourselves lofo's  , london fazer owners, looking through the list of attendees I cant see many from london 

[HarryHornby]

Well, it's looking good for me (those lucky flowers I bought from Tesco seemed to have done the trick  ).


Punk, get the beers in, looks like I'm coming to visit!


Noggy, you'll get reunited with your old screen
