Yo this is the latest route im thinking. Eddie its more like 130 miles and RV, how does this look for rendez vous izing? If its 130 miles we're up for a bit of a detour to meet up. A mate charlie is interested in riding in the van if you have space as well. Eddie I have a GPS but no lights as yet. I have a mega maglite that ill just gaffer to the side of my head! er? Stone HENge!

I just would like to warn everyone about the layout of my van .Its a transit 3 seats in the front . The back has a bulkhead seperating you from the cab and there are NO windows at all . So It's pretty inhospitable, fumey, disorientating and unpleasant . Any extra riders should be made aware of this in advance , to save any whining noises 3 hours in . Ask Rick and Will as they experienced my van for the Oxford to Cambridge last year .

is the guy who cycled down to london on saturday to watch the polo on this thread ?
hello sir
fuji track ?do you think there might be room for a little one in that van ? just thinking in case we get any exhausted cyclists needing a bit of help back to london on the sunday morning / afternoon ?
i fully intend to cycle back but there might be one or two who push themselves a bit too much ? -

Maybe talk to Will to use something more luxurious instead. We can get loads of people and bikes in , but just warning in advance that it is pretty dire in the isolation ward in the back. Didn't want to leave it till heading back to discover that some of you may have delicate dispositions .
Can't offer any lifts to London as we'll be heading back up to Cambridge via Oxford way reverse of the ride ,stopping at a cafe somewhere . The van will be a good distance from the stones anyway so probably easier to cycle to a train station to get back to the smoke.
That'll be Slamming Matt on the fuji ,Actualmatthew on here. -

There will be the usual fight/sulking/recriminations/jostling/moaning to decide who sits in the front i imagine. I'm also open to bribery.

Unless you want me to paint your cat with fluro green diseases, worms, spikes and hydrochloric acid coming out of it's head.

Emily who works on my stall said she was there last year working on a food stall at some hideous Trance event in a field opposite mean fiddler put on .She was deeply scathing about the whole event. I haven't been to Stonehenge for summer solstice since 1984 !
That sounds lovely Eddie

Had a quick gander, weather looks sunny in salizbury on saturday and bit cloudy sunday but does that really mean anything? Also after a bit o reading avebury sounds like the place to be. Id still like to check out the henge but just to say been there. so well have to decide where to be for sunrise i guess. Im thinking henge just for the mass of people and avebury for the nice bits. Ill call shottie on the fume filled torture chamber..if that is the vehicle of choice.

Cops smashed up the hippy buses belonging to the peace convoy, stopped the Stonehenge festival.Their vehicles were diverted into a bean field where they got beaten up and their buses destroyed. Look at the footage on You Tube. Beat up women and children. Solstice time used to be a full on drugged up free festival in the field opposite, loads of hells Angels ,hippies and punks. I used to go in the early eighies when i was a teenager was a real eye opener .....Anarchy ! Thatcher decided to shut it down using her bullyboys fresh from battling with the miners.
No need to be so rude to people mate. Me and Dicki didn't know we were posting in your forum.
