Can we just have a quick show of hands for weekend ? I'd hate to leave someone behind if they're running a bit late ... at present I believe there's:

Myself
Flatfishy
Ian
Pedalhead
Stevemorg
Yetiman
SBF
Nick
Fantastic

Have I missed anyone ?

[Stevemorg]

I'll be there to slow the rest of you down!

[pedalhead]

[Ian]

I'm packed as well.

edit: more accurately, I've not yet unpacked from yesterday.

[Bearbonesnorm]

Just packed

What you doing ... riding up ?

I haven't built my bike yet!

[Taylor]

Today was my only free day until the weekend so I thought I'd get it done now.

[Taylor]

Is Pete not coming?

Everybody email and pester him, see if we can bully him into coming.

Or is he off to see Santa again.

[sillybigfella]

Yarp.

[Matt]

Is Pete not coming?

Already pestered him

He's running in and organisating some charity 5K run on Sunday.

[Nick]

Yep, still planning on coming, will be packing tonight.

[Stevemorg]

What are people kipping in? Space is tight with my mini-peak and my Rab winter bag (I really wish the Cotic would take adecent size frame bag) - is everyone else doing tarp and bivi (with optional annexe) or are people taking their pyratents etc?

[pedalhead]

Tarp & bivy for me

[Taylor]

Got my Trailstar packed.

[Matt]

Outwell Montana 6 for me

You must've put a lot of weight on if you need a tent that size!
