    I'll say preliminary in.
    I'd need to see the planner at work and hopefully no plans for the isles. I'd hate to miss out on this!

    I'm tentatively going to say yes, but it all depends on finances and a few current family issues.

    Hope to confirm within a few days.

    I plan to visit the forest ranger on 1st July. Who ever is in the calendar on that date (up to 25) is "in" and expected to contribute to the fees.

    But I would like to book the lodges and tipi At the camp site sooner. As soon as there is a critical mass I will book the tipi and a couple of the cabins. If numbers rise I will book more if they are still available. The tipi is massive and has fire hearth inside, matresses and stuff inside and probably can sleep more than 6. The cabins are next to it and together create a nice sociable area with a BBQ and another fire hearth. There's tables and stuff and I think they said sounds could be organised too. Should be ok for a bit of a party but the campsite is not licensed itself.

    Oh Russ/DC has knocked up a sticker. It will be about £1.50. Assume that's ok I need to DC to post it up as I can't do it from an iPhone.

    Yummy, time to play.

    Please let us know after your recce what tyres we need!! I am guessing that Summer forest roads will be fine on pretend off-road rubber and a Tourance will suffice...

    Have to dig out the small gearbox sprocket again!

    From what I have seen so far tourance and the like will be fine. I will probably do this on the vara with conti trail attacks.
