Updated on the list Gentlemen :)

Don't worry about the weather conditions - you just ride to them.

I've covered many countries covered in snow, ridden through white outs and had no issues down to -20. I've also done a 1000 mile in 24 hour race around the UK at -5. So, come along and and have some fun ;) It's all about learning and doing new things. I will not be riding off to my ability - when I lead a group it is done with a few things in mind.

The safety of the pack!
Getting to see some fantastic places that you can chat about at the next bike meet you go to.
Learning as much as I can from other riders.

Sleeping - there will be a large fire pit at the site if you find you brought the wrong kit as well as a hotel in the local area if you find you brought your summer bag!!

Depending on the conditions of the road then the ride out will change to suit the amount of miles that can be covered in safety - we are all looking to have fun but not getting injured.

After this weekender you should at least more confident in your riding in poor weather and far more confidence in your kit - plus iron out any kinks ;)

Wouldn't worry too much about the weather and the state of the roads. Mo Morris and I did a trip around the Highlands of Scotland in January this year and besides having to scrape the ice off our seats of a morning had an amazing time. Of course we never camped but Dartmoor is very nearly the English Riviera, how cold can it be ;)
