Solent (mini)-SIBfest 7th April 2012

[PeterM]

Huge thanks to XS400 for updating ...I've been poor at keeping on top of this ...bloody work getting in the way of quality web time.

Weather is not so nice looking ( for camping or boating) but nothing that woudl be an issue is on the horizon or forecast.

No idea how the site is set up , but I'll aim for just after lunch arrival & head for anything that looks like there is boat next to a tent ... I'll have the Bombard in the boot of my black Hyundai Santa Fe- if I'm not obvious as the one fighting my tent that I have only ever put up once before!
