Check the Motorhome Mags.

They vary in quietness +++++++++++++++++

The quietest and lightest are the Honda's 10eu is
I think the right code.
But as is usual in life the best cost more!!

They are usually VERY unpopular on campsites,
though tolerated on the small six unit licencenced sites
of the Caravan Club and Camping and Caravan Club
(which don't allow camping usually !).

I have an Honda for my Motorhome and could bring it
for the Thursley meet - though my MH will be still
at the repairers (serious roof leak and rot).

The Yahoo Motorhome discussion list has masses of info
on Gennies, but the search facility is flaky.

I think there is a camp site at Tilford, but have no more
knowledge than that.

If people want to ROUGH camp with NO facilities, I can
get access to an unkemp field 300yds from the Thursley pub, on
the edge of the common.

It is likely the neighbours would allow water collection.

This may be more practical for those of us that plan to moth

I am sure some of you could be appointed as honourary gentlemen for the night


However, for the rest of us that don't get that honour ... if any of the WAB LADIES want a night out and don't mind meeting up with me I am sure we could arrange something.

No I hate to gate crash - missed out on the TT this year for exactly the same reason booooo

Although I'm not certain I'm able to come yet, if I am, I'm more than up for a girls night - perhaps we could combine a pub crawl with batting between pubs...... maybe there's a local pub that does rooms..... (to end at obviously)

sounds like a plan to me - 300yds is certainly staggering distance

as regards generators we just bought one from screwfix for work for arround 70 notes - talking of which i can liberate it for the weekend if we need it

No, you could be wrapped up in the mothing sheet and hauled down to the field-bit like Cleopatra in her carpet.

Re: Thursley Common Meet

Hmmm, a mothing session 300 yards from a pub, sounds like heaven to me, all it needs to make it perfect is a Chinese or Indian takeaway round the corner.
