[witchywoo]

[John@DNA]

well that sounds good too! :D

[Blugg]

Put me down for the stand. Everyday ;)

[billybug]

We'll probably go down to St Ives that weekend then cruise over to RTTS on the Sat/Sun, that way it'll be a nice peaceful weekend if we want it to be :)

[Vickie]

We're going John! Not brave enough to stay at the camp site though and get robbed by pikeys so staying in a funky B&B nearby that we stayed in last year :D

We'll be there fri sat and sun nite though so give us a shout if you go!

[Blue_Smoothie]

i havent been for 2yrs - last time, i had small wheels :D

St Ives maybe quiet. but....... busy !! Bank Holiday Weekend :) :) :)

[witchywoo]

i've had a look at the website but i'm a bit confused (doesn't take much tbh! :rolleyes: )
do people cruise on the friday?
i might be going to this but don't know what i need to pay for.
is it an enclosed site? :confused: is it too late to get a hotel and wheres best for camping?
thanks for any help ;)

[Doodlebug]

Dunno, me and Vic r just going down on for the weekend, there is no club stand Blugg.

[witchywoo]

can anyone help me with advice on where i would be able to book camping for this?
i'll prob only be going for the sat to monday. is it dodgy on certain campsites?
thanks for any help. :)

Yes i'd like to know this please, think i may look into staying in a brick tent (Hotel) if it's dodgy or just leaving Blugg at home and getting the train down. Is it really that bad ?

[Doodlebug]

Yeah it does get rather packed there, plus i dont know if at this late stage there will be much accomodation left.

Try different campsites in and around Newquay. I've always steered clear of the 'official' one for RTTS it's a rip off and really horrible. Most other campsites are 'family orientated' as in, they will only allow couples and families. Hendra is really close to town 01637 875778 . Bit of a Butlins feel to the place but clean and close to where you want to be.
My personal fave is Trevella http://www.trevella.co.uk/touring_tents.htm
again, a 'family' campsite, but less of the Butlins about it and very peaceful and out of the way even though it's just a mile or so out of town

[sharkbait]

No problems hon, let us know how you get on! :)

U should come along Leia :)

[sharkbait]

You know what babes, I'd love to.. but I tend to go to Newquay to surf these days, and it's waHay too crowded bank holidays for me to consider it. I'll make my trip down there about a month later, there's always loads of dubs down there anyway :) Another reason is that the boyf can't make it, and I don't wanna go on my lonesome (just call me Billy).

[witchywoo]

booo! i tried hendra but as me and my mate are not a couple, or even if we were, they don't allow same sex couples (surely thats against the law or summat?) so gotta try somewhere else.
i also didn't realise how far cornwall is!! it knew it was far from up north but it still is from essex. deffo not having a hangover for the drive home!! ;)

[witchywoo]

ok i'm booked in at a campsite, wooooo!
can anyone help me with tickets for the event. i've looked at the website and the only advance tickets i can see involve camping too.
the website is totally pap, not informative at all!! or i'm being a dumbo? :confused:

appreciate any help! thanks!:D

I'm pretty sure the show and shine on Sunday is free to get into?! I can't remember paying last year! Either that or it's only pay on the gate type thingy like some shows do! It's really cool with loadsa nice cars and stalls etc.

The Trevelgue 'book in advance' kinda thing is booking your tickets for that particular campsite and all the bands, event etc that are going on there. :)

[witchywoo]

thanks vicky.
looking at the run to the sun forum it looks like it will be £27 to get into the campsite for the day which is a bit steep so not sure if we'll do that although the entertainment doesn't look that good really. although i did like the idea of a 70s night and getting dressed up. :)
i've never been to newquay in my life so is it easy to find somewhere to go?
can anyone recommend anywhere that we can go during the day/evening?

ta very muchly!! ;)

[steve chubb valeting]

hi there ive just booked traval lodge in st austell just a shrt drive awayand cheaper from newquay for 3 days and its not as mad as newquay steve

[Vickie]

Holy bejesus yes! There's loads to do in Newquay - basically pubs/bars/clubs all along with something for everyone I'd say. You'll have no probs! :)

[witchywoo]

lol cool. i'm really looking forward to it, lets hope the weather improves ;)

[halfpint_fighter]

As far as the show and shine on sunday goes it is usually £5 per vehicle. It is in a car park at the top of town so no need to go into the chav ridden main site. Also means you can walk into town on the sunday without paying more parking.

There is normally a cruise from reading M4 services on the friday which leaves at 9.30am. It does cruise at 55mph though. Lunch at Taunton services about 12.30pm.

We will be in our campervan and black sheep in their NB and also another friend in a NB. We are cruising down and staying at Hendra.

If you are joining the cruise or staying at hendra come say hello!

thanks for the info, we're staying at somewhere called watergate bay which is close to the main site (2 miles) and the sea. unfortuntely can't do the friday but hoping heading down early sat morning won't be too bad.

[Amy x]

Same sex couples lmao chick, you did tell them that it would be separate beds???!!!

[witchywoo]

Same sex couples lmao chick, you did tell them that it would be separate beds???!!!

[Amy x]

LMAO you sooo should!!! surely they can't be blatently homophobic though??? they could turn around and say ooops sorry we've no space left but no sorry we don't take people who shag the same sex??? tut

not really but it does tell you where it is at least! they have a forum on the site which i found a bit useful.

[steve chubb valeting]

no prices etc but its a break from work are ther many from club going steve

[witchywoo]

on the forum it said it was £27 for one day and camping!!!!!
so i won't be going to the campsite, athough the entertainment looks a bit pap IMO, apart from fri night stanton warriors.
the show and shine on the sunday is maybe £5? think thats whats said in this thread.

[steve chubb valeting]

try the show and shine then i will as im stayin in st austell at traval lodge so not far newquay can be to mad steve

[Vickie]

Yep there's plenty to do in and around Newquay -with a great atmosphere with lines and lines of vdubs cruising through the streets and everyone honking and waving- fab :)

The show and shine is the best thing to go to on Sunday and yep - it is defo in Tregunnel car park.

Hope to maybe see some of u guys there and around! :)

[steve chubb valeting]

will it be ridiculous if we set off at 8am from essex?

[Black Sheep]

I'm cruising down on the Friday with the volkszone lot.
Should be a mad cruise, i'm told there are usually about 100 aircooled's (plus at least 2 newbies :D ) hopefully i'll forget we're cruising at 55mph:laughing:

Anybody want to join us, meet at Reading services on the M4 9am, look out for 1 silver and 1 black newbie.

[steve chubb valeting]

Yeah i heard that as well lol, oh well, sod em! :)

[halfpint_fighter]

The police have cracked down on water pistols but there are still plenty about.

The problem is the few who spoil it for the most.

ie
Gravel in water bombs or paint stripper in water guns

People who squirt you just because your window is open are annoying, if it is a mutual water fight where both sides have a gun then fair enough.

I had one guy who pulled up next to me and he had turned his windscreen washer so it squirted sideways, I couldn't close my window because the roll cage got in the way of the window winder. I see the funny side now but at the time with water stains everywhere inside my baja i was pissed off, also if i had a pistol i couldn't have got him back as he was hiding in his car with all windows firmly closed.

Assssssss Hoooooooooooole.

[witchywoo]

yeah thats not fair! i may take a sneaky one that can be concealed ;)
although looking at the 10 day weather forecast, we may not need them! :laughing:

[Trinytrog]

i'll be there. going down thursday afternoon, haven't read the whole thread. are there any plans for an evvo get together while we down there.
