Given we have no camping gear, camping with two little 'uns is probably not going to happen. Off to do the usual Vit weekend ring around the Midlands to find a family room within 50 miles. Did look at hiring a campervan up that way for a couple of days once before but they only did weekly hires as it was school hols. Then again Little Miss K was thoroughly bored by the experience last year so might get a leave pass in any case ... watch this space ..
I'm entering right now...........only 436 places left...and Barley, I don't see your name on the entry list?(I will be camping too.

We are staying in a hotel. OH is not keen on camping and I dont sleep well not in a bed. What a great way to spend your birthday NM. Mine is 11 days later
September is a popular time for birthdays, something to do with xmas parties i believe. Both my kids were born in November which apparently has something to do with valentines day.
Next year the Vitruvian falls on my 40th birthday!
Dont we just normally turn up and take over the corner of a field, I cant remember booking (or paying) before. Actually I have paid once but usually forget.
Then there was the time (2005) when the very nice Mark from Pace Setter's (the guy that woke us all up becasue some idiot had painted the roads) let me stay in a spare cottage the organisers had spare.
It will start coming down really quickly now!! And I am wondering how I am going to fit the training in! lol
I haven't swum for weeks what with one thing and another. I have managed to get out on my bike quite a bit though so that is good. Only short trips of about 15 miles but they have been hilly miles

What a great way to spend your birthday NM. Mine is 11 days later
September is a popular time for birthdays, something to do with xmas parties i believe. Both my kids were born in November which apparently has something to do with valentines day.
Next year the Vitruvian falls on my 40th birthday!
Funny how there weren't many of us at school though. You would have thought they would have had to change the school calendar!!
Now that would be really good. I am looking to do a full IM for my 45th next year!
Ok, I know this isn't for a while. But thought I would get in early!
Anyone know the website of the campsite right next to the start of this?
Don't they usually put the info on the Vit website? I can't see it there at the moment. I'm not sure how I've done it in the past...
Anyway, I think it's this one GOM. Rutland Water
Are you already booking your camp site GOM?
Can't remember if we've told them we're a group to get pitches together in the past?
Yep, getting it sorted now, as I have so much on this year that if I don't I will forget!
I just phoned the number 01780 460154 and asked if I could book a pitch. The person just took my name and contact number.......
Plus I wanted to make sure I got a pitch as I will be borrowing the future father-in-law's camper van

Don't worry PSC, its just me!
I have a lot on this year, so am just getting things sorted now! So I don't have to worry about things later this year!
phew!!
It will start coming down really quickly now!! And I am wondering how I am going to fit the training in! lol
