The guy has a point to be honest peeps! Rallies are a bit rubbish lol! That's why I don't go to them anymore.
And yes, bikes aren't very good for camping at all. If I ever go camping again it'll be in the car with the bikes on the trailer, but I doubt I ever will.
Hilton? Maybe not, but at least somewhere that has a real bed (owt inflatable or packable isn't a real bed!), room to stand up in order to get dressed and undressed, a toilet and shower in the next room (that isn't shared by two hundred others!) and a chef who cooks your breakfast for you in the morning. Because, the truth is that you don't have to actually pay £300 a night for somewhere that's comfortable. Indeed, the cost of a small hotel isn't hugely different to a rally!
And all those who think that you'll miss the camaraderie of a campsite clearly haven't sat in a hotel lounge until three in the morning with a group of mates, laughing and talking nonsense! Which is pretty much the same as sitting in a muddy field in the pitch black with a group of mates, laughing and talking nonsense but without the cold and the rain! And the ever present smell of cow poo that no-one ever actually talks about because they don't want to diss the rally in any way lol!
And believe me, when it's only six degrees outside and the rain has been bouncing for twelve hours non-stop, having such facilities as a restaurant and bar, an indoor pool, sauna and spa and the odd naked austrian lady goes a long way to easing the pain of not riding your bike.
Oh, what am I thinking!! Rally goers only use their bikes to get there and back anyway lol!!
