It's not the Oxford services we're meeting at. It's a layby on the A40 heading west between the M40 jct 8 and the Oxford ring road.

Hey there folks.   New to ALL of this..... Tell me, have I got this right? M40.  Come off at j8 on the A40..... Heading west and - BINGO - !!! Layby!   12:00   Friday.    ------   How am I doing so far?!!                                                                                                                                                                             

You're spot on Wonnie, but we are planning to leave Oxford by 12, I'm getting there at 11-30 so i can have a late breakfast at the burger van.                                                                                                                                                                             

Looks as though we're getting a good crowd together for the ride to KISS.   Just to remind anyone down here on the South Coast, Kent or Sussex, Bill, Colin and myself will be leaving Bexhill around 8.00, travelling along the A27 to Brighton, and up the A/M23 to Pease Pottage services, hopefully for around 9.30.    So if there is anyone else who would like to join us there for the ride up please do, this will only be a brief stop, leg stretch and a quick brew if anyone wants one.                                                                                                                                                                             

Okay.  Forgive me if this is appearing twice....  (It's gotta be said; I don't find this site easy to manage.)   But hey.    It's prolly me!  ----  Ragnar No 1 ---- Yup. sounds like a plan.    I'll join you for breckie.  I'll aim to be there after 11:00.     -----     Can't remember the last time I used a tent.  I must be outta my mind !!!

Watching you and XJ putting your tents up should give us all a giggle                                                                                                                                                                              

Do you think we should take pity on them Chris and help em after a suitable period of course .                                                                                                                                                                             

After about three pints we should give them a hand with useful advice like "try un-zipping the bag first" and "no you can't have a beer until it's up"

Oh it'll be up by the time I've had some beer.  Then I'll get on with the tent!!!                                                                                                                                                                             

Bad plan mate, i can't remember the amount of time i've tried that. One time i woke up in a puddle                                                                                                                                                                             

i know how to put me tent up, i just haven't tried it yet. worst case scenario is walking to the premier inn one mile down the road. simples.
