I cancelled my room a month or so back. Nothing to do with the forum, just have other commitments, but if things change, I'll camp somewhere and come along.

Have removed your name from the "Confirmed Bookings", if you do end up camping, see the link on page 1 of the thread for a campsite nearby.Casbar wrote:I cancelled my room a month or so back. If things change, I'll camp somewhere and come along.

If anyone else would like to join us, it may be worth regularly checking for any cancellations at either the Travelodge or Premier Inn in Tewkesbury.

Is this event on Sunday 9th July of any interest to anyone who doesn't live too far from Bristol, https://www.ride4gwaac.com/
As Shirley & I are booked in for the Sunday night at Tewkesbury, it's something we may consider doing.

Re: RT Meet at Tewkesbury - 08/07/17
Had an email today from GWAA.
"We have yet to confirm our ride with the councils however we are hoping it will go out around Bristol, down to the Mendip lakes and back up to Clifton Rugby Club, Bristol via the Portway Road. The Lakes are an area of outstanding natural beauty and it should be a smooth ride around some of the most beautiful areas of Somerset and Bristol."
Have asked the GWAA to keep me posted, could fill half a day if anyone is looking for something to do before heading home on Sunday.

Yes, David, that GWAA (Great Western Air Ambulance) ride out is being led by our Blood Bike group (Freewheelers) treasurer. About 50 miles total, taking in the Mendip Hills countryside, ie Blagdon & Chew Valley reservoirs, all of which is very scenic. The return up the Portway follows the course of the River Avon, going under the famous Clifton Suspension bridge. I understand they will be crossing the gorge via the Clifton bridge on the ride out. I'm hoping to attend that event, either helping out or on the ride itself! Not forgetting the music festival afterwards, good value and for a very worthwhile charity, the GWAA!

That's okay David. Will do. Re joining you on the Sat ride out from Tewkesbury, I can't commit to it as yet, but when I have a definite answer one way or t'other, I'll let you know.

Unfortunately I'll have to bail out of this one, and have cancelled my room for Fri & Sat nights. There may be one available if you're looking.

That's a shame Chris :-( hope your dodgy top box hasn't fell off
The GS 'is' the better bike :-)
