[Spriddler]

I've just spoken to a pal who keeps 2 vintage tractors at the Bluebell Horsted Keynes station. Apparently for H&S reasons (mainly shortage of supervising staff) the engine sheds were closed to the public but from Late August this year (needs a check with them on progress X) they will re-open to the public with improvements from a Lottery Fund Grant.
This is on their website: https://www.bluebell-railway.com/whats_on/today-at-the-railway/

X I suppose if I really had to I could take my vintage m/bike out through the lanes and have a look myself. After all, someone has to do it

[peterc10]

Thank you to everybody who has shown an interest in this possible rally. I can safely say that there seems to be a popular demand for it! The proposed field is large, but it has many areas where the slopes are just too steep to get level in a motorhome, which is why I think I need to limit the numbers involved.

I still have a lot of things to finalise with the venue, not least of which is a suitable date. I can't do that until I know the dates for the various popular motorhome shows next year, as I do not want to clash with them. And we are now busy/away until the end of August, so cannot take things much further until then.

I have made a note of everybody who has expressed an interest in this and will add any others who show an interest in the future. I will then PM/conversation you all when I am in a position to formally announce it as a rally with confirmed dates and costs. So please keep an eye out for alerts of a new conversation in the autumn/early winter. I will require a deposit to be paid when booking to go on the actual list.

So that's how you's have got loads of cash, have to shop at Aldi and Lidl more often.already shop at M&S after 2.

 

[Stagman]

Just seen this @peterc10 .
We would be interested. Can dogs travel on the bluebell line too?

Catherine

 

[peterc10]

Catherine, they say that they accept well behaved dogs on a lead, so Nelson should be OK. However they charge £2 for them, unless they are Assistance Dogs. Do you think John could claim that Nelson assists him to the motorhome when he has had a few?
