2010-05-30 - Ravstock

There's a few of us planning a ride down to this little festival about 16 miles out of the city on Sunday. Loading up the bikes with beer and leaving about midday. I don't know much about it, but MachineIsBored said it should be OK.

Should be good fun, can't say I can 100% vouch for the music but looking forward to seeing BK & Dad.

I'm in. The line ups really quite good actually.

Sunday, 30 May 2010
Time:
13:00 - 21:55
Location:
The Raveningham Centre, Beccles Road, Raveningham, Norfolk, NR14 6NU

The line-up is now complete, and is quite possibly the most exciting and eclectic two stages you will find this summer.

You can expect a heady mix of
•folk• drone•pop•electronic•medieval•improvised rock•

The festival is FREE but we welcome donations which will go to Priscilla Bacon Lodge - Centre for Specialist Palliative Care in Norwich.

Please invite you friends and support the first ever RAVSTOCK.

There is ample free parking plus a Beer Tent selling local ales, wines, and organic soft drinks.

The Ravenous Cafe will be open all day to provide you with delicious and wholesome snacks, bacon & free range egg butties as well as scrumptious homemade cakes.

So what's the plan then?

I'm thinking leave about 12.30-1, but haven't heard from Sparky or Alaric yet. You still without mobile?

yep. still no mobile.
I can pm you home number if you want.

Did you guys go in the end? Shame on the weather! I like Raveningham!

Yeah it was good, weather changeable but nothing too bad. Hairy ride home as Ric had no lights and i only had a front (nephew seems to have disappeared tail light). Good though. The Steamroller is so much fun to ride.
