I for one found it a good weekend, I only knew neil, kate, sue n zip (oh n young jack n doggies) before I went there, I didn't know anyone personally from the Yorkshire convoy, only from chatting on here, when I got to steve's (b20wnx) house first I was greeted with a cup of lovely tea, then met up with the rest at wooley, me n sarah has some fun on the way down with the cb's (well rachel sang to me lol) you would've thought we were all old mates when we arrived!
the greeting on arrival by everyone was fantastic was made to feel welcome, as said before the name tags caused problems twisting round (did say I was gonna put my name on both sides but never got round to it) once I was sorted I meandered down to the marquee, met some more folk and got chatting to most, I thoroughly enjoyed it, soz I didn't make it to the disco on sat night but my vertigo got the better of me, so just sat round my firepit.
I do as lot of bike events and I am yorks rep for a bike club, we have a bandit national rally every year (similar to landyzone event) when it first started not many people attended, but as the years have gone by and the club has grown we have loads n loads attend now, because we have area reps what we do is arrange it every year to be somewhere different up and down the country, this year we are off to bonny Scotland!! But we also pay a yearly membership fee that covers the event cost plus a free meal on the sat night for full members.
Now I know this isn't possible with landyzone but as a biking fraternity we obviously have problems getting places to pitch the tents and have a good weekend, if you decide to hold one in Yorkshire I don't mind helping out, we could ask squires café bar, as they have huge fields, caravan pitches, showers, loos n a café/pub!! they hold allsorts of events there, so a few landy's I'm sure wouldn't be a problem and as a few of you will know some fantastic laning round there (I'm sure sue and a few more locals would sort the laning out)
the laning was good, the food that I had was fantastic, was great that when we rolled up on Friday we didn't have to **** about cooking! and the curry n chilli were gorgeous on sat, whish I had known there was so much left would've purchased some to bring home with me.
I always take my own beer to every camping do I go to, I'm from Yorkshire and too tight to pay for it lol
I had no problems with the music, loved watching peter dancing round on friday night lol
I had no issues with doggies, I don't think sleeping near the marquees is a good idea cos of the noise n those early birds getting up n going for a cuppa
I agree that we could've done with a blue loo at the top end of the field (ladies n gents one)
I have no gripes what so ever n think everyone who organized it did damn well
