if we all brought a van or caravan, to me that defeats the hole idea of what its all about.
its all about roughing it together to me!!
may be iam old school well so be it.

I can understand where you're coming from John. One of the last rallies I went to from UKGSer I seemed to be the only person in a tent and most brought their GS's on a trailer etc.
As Brian has pointed out, ABR is a bit different as several members arrive in cars and vans etc as they bring their off road bikes.
I would prefer to see folk there, enjoying the weekend however they seem fit. At the Ullapool rally, lots of people stay in B&B.
As you remember from last year, lots of people sat in the cafe all day as it was raining heavily, not much of the adventure spirit there, just a good day had by everyone.
So, for the winter rally, bring a bivvy bag, tent, caravan, cardboard box or stay in the hotel with fluffy warm towels, let's just get together, have a few beers, talk bollocks and have a good laugh.
