Hi All :winky:

Just thought I would start a thread and ask funsters what they are doing over the May bank holiday weekend. It would be good for funsters to list events that are happening in their locality.

I will start with the Sweeps parade in Rochester: Link Removed

Regards

Motorhoming in Sandend (nr Banff on the Northeast coast of Scotland) for us. Friends have a cottage there and we're on the site. Hoping for good weather as there's not much to do in Sandend if its wet!

Cheers,

Rod.

This bank holiday weekend we have decided to stay home and work on our house which we started renovating last year and due to unforseen circumstances is still ongoing. The plasterer was due to start this week and has let us down, grrr, so not a happy bunny because we could of then at least of got started on the kitchen.

All enjoy whatever you have planned.

Plenty to do and see, even travelling on the trains.

There's a little rain forecast too but who cares, we're not at work.:winky:

And I'm praying that you lose.
I'm helping my son with his house which is near Hillsborough. We are excavating his cellar and if things go badly we might bury the remains of a once great team down there.

Since 2009 with motorhomes several caravans then tents before that.
We are going to Fraisthorpe on a rally , with a club we are members of .
Its just a massive field next to the beach. No hook up or a pub in walking distance:cry:(Unless you fancy the long walk down the beach to Brid )
The kids , can catch up with their pals in the group and will be taking their wet suits and body boards . They shall be in the sea what ever the weather :Doh:
Jacob will be taking his big kite and Isaac his beach skateboard thingy . He might even manage to take to the air with it , using Jacobs kite this time.
There will be things planned for all the kids to do , and as always , at least a couple of marquees , complete with lights and heating for the ralliers to use.
Its not a very good forcast , but what ever the weather we shall enjoy it.

I would prefer wall to wall sunshine though please:Cool:

Van Conversion
Having just bought a Thule 9502 2-bike rack, for our campervan, we will be taking our bikes down for a cycle along the sea wall at TwoTree Island, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex upto Benfleet and back and a cooked lunch. This is in preparation for a our trip away to Ullswater for the Bank Holiday weekend at the end of May.

Mrs essexsj is getting quite excited as we haven't used the 'van for pleasure yet :Blush:

No doubt there'll be plenty of things we learn the hard way by being newbies and all :Eeek:

We are still in discussions about it all at the moment.

We may go to the Spalding Flower Parade, a look around the internet shows this to be a good event with 80,000 visitors a year. Its also one of the few events on Sat within 100 miles of home.

Monday I think we may go mountain biking in the opposite direction of Dalby Forest.

Who knows?

Were staying local, we will have a troll about in the car.

June is working on Sunday night so we tried to book a site for two nights, Fri &Saturday but nobody would accept a two night stay over the Bank Holiday even though they had plent of space (or so they said).

June got fed up ringing around after a while. I wonder how many of these sites will be full on the night.
