The Rustic Roadtrip

[Blocky10]

Hi guys and gals.
We've all been reading how Rustic is battling with his health, and a while back, suggestions were made about having a meet somewhere in Uncle Rustic's neck of the woods. (Staffordshire)
I'm posting this to "Rally the Troops" and organise a mini meet with the hope Richard and Roz will be able to visit and say hi.

I understand it's holiday season and not everyone can make the same date due to holidays and work commitments, but could I ask you all to respond with possible dates and we'll see what unfolds. :thumbs

To Rustic.
We would appreciate your input too for possible meeting points and dates.
Obviously you are under no obligation to attend. We a very aware of your circumstances and if, on the day, you cannot make it, we totally understand.

:grouphug

[terranosaurusdoug]

Count me in brother, wherever and whenever :thumbs

[jims-terrano]

Count me in too. Second weekend in September and last weekend in September are the only real difficult weekends for me.

[don simon]

Let us know a date. I have flexibility.

[Blocky10]

Great start guys.
I'm away training 2nd weekend Sept for 3 weeks. 1st 2 weeks at Stone bizarrely:cool:

I am able to do anytime this month though. :thumb2

[emjaybee]

I'm self employed, away 4th - 10th Sept, sort out a date, I'll make it if I can.

May I suggest we don't get over complicated (like the last time we suggested this) and just meet "round the corner" from Rustic at lunchtime for a brew/picnic/cuppa for as long as people wish to stay.

We don't need to keep a thick mat of it on our bodies as it's warmer down here, and it's "grim oop norf".

[solarman216]

2nd and or 3rd Sept are good for me, Rick

[Blocky10]

Great Rick.:thumb2

How is this date with everyone?

[emjaybee]

Can't do 3rd Sept, may be able to 2nd, but will have to do some SERIOUS sweettalking of SWMBO!

:nenau

[Blocky10]

Can't do 3rd Sept, may be able to 2nd, but will have to do some SERIOUS sweettalking of SWMBO!

:nenau


Ok. So we've narrowed it down to 2nd Sept so far, with some sweet talking :lol

[emjaybee]

Just had a thought. The 2nd is JUST before most schools go back, anyone with children may be reluctant to get involved that weekend, PLUS, I suspect traffic across the country will be pretty bad for the same reason. Would end of Sept be more suitable once things have calmed down a bit?

:nenau

[don simon]

These are the Saturdays that I'm likely to be working, but with enough notice can cancel.
12/08/2017
19/08/2017
26/08/2017
16/09/2017
30/09/2017
I'll need at least 1 week's notice so I can arrange cover.

[emjaybee]

Just had a thought...

...when Zippy was mucking about and pretending to leave he put up a poll.

Would it be a good idea to put up poll with a selection of weekends/days, maybe four (ish), and take a poll of which would suit members best, and then we go with the most popular?
We could spend the next year bandying days back and forth, just thought this could push the matter forward.

:nenau

good idea.

what location id the meet going to be, what town?

[zippy656]

about 2 1/2 hours for me, but would like to know details incase i can come.

would be great to meet every one, and see people ive met before again.

[emjaybee]

good idea.

what location id the meet going to be, what town?

The idea was as close to Rustic's abode as is practicably.

Slightly off topic... ...Zippy could you resend me the members map?

:thumb2

[emjaybee]

Feedback from SWMBO, 2nd or 3rd Sept NOT an option. She said something about hospitalisation, I know I can outrun her, but if she creeps up behind me I'm f*****!

:(

[Blocky10]

The 2nd and/or 3rd Sept seems to be favourable atm. Apologies to emjaybee but thinking about it, there must be a hospital close by:hide::lol

There's also no reason why we can't arrange another meet a month or 2 later. It's not a once only thing. We need to pull fingers out, as a group, and have regular meets. We all seem to get on, don't we?, and you never know what's around the corner.
I'm shite at motivational speeches:lol


Therefore, folks available for 2/3 Sept.

[solarman216]

OK guys and girls, can we keep this on topic please, Rustic I think deserves a good amount of respect, reading through the junk I think the 2nd Sept is looking good, I will be with Zippy then and he says 2.5 hours travelling for him so good for me too, Rick

[makeitfit]

I'll do what I can to get my engine rebuilt and in the hole.
I'm watching but not confirmed yet ☺
I'll be up for a 3.0 vs 2.7 tug of war 💪

[johnb5177]

Really sorry to miss out on this, but my heart, mind and spirit will be with you all, in support of Rustic....:bow

[Blocky10]

So the 2nd and 3rd Sept is ok for this meet. Does anyone know what area we're heading to?
Would be handy to find a campsite or 2 in case folk fancy a stop over. :camping:

[briggie]

cant make that weekend,

will send best wishes to every one via Rick, as meeting up with him Friday.

[solarman216]

Sorry you will not be able make it, we will indeed convey your best wishes, look forward to Friday night for a meal perhaps, Rick

[Banshee]

I've checked the calendar and I'm looking perfect for that weekend, nice and close for me too for once lol, I can't do the dates either side of that weekend so please dont change it now :bow

I could also camp and if any of you fancy it, we could hit Cannock Chase on the mountain bikes :naughty, isn't there also camping on the chase too near go ape? :nenau

[jims-terrano]

I'm up for a weekend of it but what's this mountain bike thing you're talking about, have you been out in the sun a bit too long:lol

[Blocky10]

Sweet Jesus. I've only just recovered from the last visit to Cannock :lol

I'd be up for a bit of mountaing biking but it's a good few years since I've used the MTB, and it's only a hard tail with 100mm up front. And it's only a 26". And I don't do air......
If the camping at Cannock allows barbecues and open fire it could be perfect. :thumbs

[rustic]

Hi Guys, I am watching this thread with great interest, I have asked if one of my treatments can be put back to clear the weekend, but as I have always said, things change on a daily basis.
I have not driven for several months, and neither has the Mav been out for a run, on Monday we started out on a trip to Crewe to see the wife's sick mum, but we got as far as Rugeley, and we had to turn back as I was in a lot of pain.:eek:

On Monday we had a stair lift installed, and yesterday a lift and recline mobility chair arrived, and today a wide over the chair table arrived, which I adapted to have one 13amp lead to a twin 13 amp socket and upto 4USB charge points.

So I can now go to bed, get out of the chair without relying on my wife hauling me about, which is not doing my shoulder any good at all, and is paying it's toll on her too.

Things are not looking good, we had a few days on the boat last week, which were ace, and I managed to build a rabbit fence and gate with my grandson, one of those memory making days, which I need to do.

My son and family arrive from Bahrain on Friday, stopping for two weeks, another reason that I want to put back my treatment for a week, as it knocks me about.

My Sister and Husband are dropping in tomorrow, on their way back from seeing their son and family.

I still have a few loose ends, and a few deep conversations with the immediate family to have. I am not sure if I have said, but the oncologist thinks I could be lucky and have just over 12 months, but to be fair, things are deteriorating quite fast, and I am increasing the pain killers every few weeks, and taking additional morphine as required and certainly before any car journeys.
We signed our latest wills yesterday, so, that safeguards some of our assets.
We are trying to keep most of it in the family lol. Tax man has had enough from me already lol...

Not everyone gets the chance to put their house in order, this has not been easy.

I do hope we can meet a few of you guys, most of you have been very supportive, and I have had some excellent advice, some in the early hours too lol
Many thanks,
Uncle Rustic

[terranosaurusdoug]

With any luck the decreased physical strain due to the new equipment may mean you are in less pain. I'm not sure how I feel commenting on your condition mate so on a lighter note...you should hold a forum raffle :D:thumb2 £10 a strip and whoever wins gets 30 mins driving the mav :lol its a win win, you get some cash and the mav stretches it's legs for a bit :lol:lol

[Blocky10]

Good to hear from you, as always. I'm glad you're interested in this thread but again, if you're not able to meet, we all understand. Take 1 day at a time and keep those magic memory making days happening Rustic. You never know, some of us forum members may be in one or two:eek::D

[Blocky10]

Hi all. I have found a possible campsite for Saturday night but just waiting for confirmation. http://www.fullbrookfarm.co.uk/

As for a meeting place I've found the carpark at Castle Ring Monument which has a pub nearby http://www.theparkgatepub.com/

I assume there could be other carparks around the area of Beaudesert Park?

Theres also a bed and breakfast nearby if anyone requires one. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tuktawa.co.uk%2F&source=maps&cd=1&usg=AFQjCNGviEa3mizTBeWqCFdFZ4vrvSo-Iw&ved=1i%3A1%2Ct%3A3443%2Ce%3A0%2Cp%3AbOOeWcmYO8ONUa OzvrgC%3A615

That Fullbrook Farm is about 10 miles from the pub and B&B.
This site in Cannock Chase is only a couple of miles away. (http://www.campingandcaravanningclub.co.uk/campsites/uk/staffordshire/rugeley/cannockchase?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_content=CannockChase&utm_campaign=google_places), it does look as if it'll be full of rules and probably no campfires! prices are about £10:00 per person but minimum stay appears to be 2 nights...

You are correct. I've been a member of the club 15 odd years and usually use them for our main caravanning hols.
It is minimum of 2 nights and would cost me £21.60 as a member.

[rustic]

I am totally overwhelmed by everyone's enthusiasm to this event.
Castle ring, I know well, Park gate too but not been in there for a while.

I have pushed back my infusion a week, so it is after the weekend event... otherwise it knocks me about for the next 4 days, so chances of me making this meet is in the 90% +++

[solarman216]

Hi all, we are now in Devizes in our van ready to board our hire boat tomorrow, we end the hire next Friday so on Saturday all being well (Rustic being able to meet that is) we will travel with the van to Rustic's area, and hopefully meet up with you all, update as the week goes on, Rick

Hi all, count me in. Sounds like camp sites are camping and caravan club sites so hope they accept non members. I'll make it to either. I'm just away myself at the minute teaching youngsters tomorrow. I'll keep an eye out on the thread.

Looking forward to meeting so many friends:thumbs

Received this email from Forest View Park, Rugeley. Thoughts guys?

Hello Ian,
Our rally field is available that weekend but I must stress that we do not have toilets on site. We only accept tents if you have your own facilities - a caravan would suffice or a toilet tent.
The Camping & Caravan site at Wandon is much closer to Castle Ring and they have facilities there. We are not a C & CC CS any more, we are now independent. If you would like to use our rally field please advise.
Regards
Pat Turner

Do folks have means of doing number 1s and 2s:nenau
Rick is ok as he has a tin tent.

No there's no showers. I'm prepared to slum it for 1 night. They require tent users to have a chem toilet and tent though, which I do not have.

[terranosaurusdoug]

I'm good for a Friday or Saturday arrival. If I get down on Friday and we stay at this toiletless/showerless site I might bring the bike down for a Saturday bimble on The Chase. :clap
From what I remember, Rugeley isn't tourist central. :augie

Woah. Check T-Doug out with the swerve ball!
Aiming for the expensive luxury option, and a yorkshire man to boot.:lol

So we have 2 options available.
1. Rally field at forest view park. No dunny or showers.

2. Cannock Chase camping and carravanning site. Luxury dunny and showers but min 2 night stay.

Both sites are a stone's throw from each other too

I'm with The Don. Easy like a Sunday morning. But, if I'm paying for 2 nights, I'll be there Friday. :D

Let's all agree and get together to compare ....... stuff :naughty:lol

[Banshee]

I'm game for Friday night and Saturday night camping and would be rude not to do the Monkey and the Dog while we're there as long as Ian promises not to fall off again and hurt himself :doh

[jims-terrano]

It all depends on what time I can get away from my new job that I started today :clap

I'd like to make it Friday but may end up being late but if not will turn up Saturday. Unfortunately there will just be me but it means I get the whole of the bed I mean truck to myself :thumbs

I've phoned and booked the rally field for Friday and Saturday night. £10 per unit per night I'm told.

Her directions are, off Stafford Brook Road onto Kingsley Wood Road, this will go from surfaced to unsurfaced but keep going. This is the farm lane.

The main camping field is behind a hedge so could we let her know when we arrive if she doesn't see us. :naughty
I assume we pass that to the rally field.

Good luck gentlemen:lol

Google maps says it's only 2hr 40mins from Brid, nowt that, but s'pose there is the possibility the caravan could lengthen that time, I'll add another 3mins to be safe :D

Sat nav usually says longer than google but I reckon under 3hrs is reasonable :thumb2, long stretches on motorways speed things up.

I'm looking forward to it :grouphug

In the the same area there is a Home Bargains type place, Lloyds Chemist, Aldi as you enter the area, plenty of takeaways down the main high street.

If you happen to be in Tesco at Hednesford, when at the check out, have a look out of the huge windows, in front of you, you won't find a better supermarket view that that. :thumb2

We've been down to see our grandson in Oxford for the last 2-3 days, we are now at home. Looking forward to meeting as many of you as we can.:clap:clap
Lets escalate that... ALL OF YOU :thumb2


We have lots of Tescos, Rugeley, Cannock (Heath Hayes) Lichfield and Brownhills, and I think the Hednesford one is actually the closest.

Just booked up.

Wasn't sure if I was part of the initial group or additional to it, he didn't seem to mind, was just very concerned over the toilet situation still!!! I reckon he's probably had people crapping all over the show before by the sounds of it.

I will be checking emails, and PM's

If I know some of you have arrived, or planning to go to a pub, I could drop in there.

As I have said by 8:30 I am usually heading for the wooden hills lol. :doh
Sat / Sun I could arrange to meet the remainder, but unless the bike trails are mobility scooter friendly, I won't be joining you there lol...:lol:lol:lol

Would it be appropriate for me to drop in at the camp site as a casual visitor? might be best to let the owner know, we don't want to abuse his kindness.
If so, it wouldn't be fair to use the gate code without his permission?
I could just shout over the hedge lol...:naughty

You caravanners, make sure you come in via Stafford Brook Road. Follow the unsurfaced road until you see caravans and through the gate using Banshee's 6666 code. Its a bike lock....Through the second gate into the rally field. :thumbs

Seriously bad news guys.


As I am wobbly on my feet, I unfortunately fell badly earlier, now currently in Walsall Manor A&E

Xray shows a severe break in the humurus,
Upper arm, just below where my shoulder implant was done. Complicated by osteoarthritis, and thinning of the bones, is going to make this a difficult proceeedure.
Waiting to see consultant to see what can be done and when!!!!

I was so excited with the chance of meeting you guys... Bugger!

first thing to hit the tarmac was my head lol...

I am going home they are going to try conservative approach first - put in a sling and wait to see if it will start to bond on its own. Then back to fracture clinic in 2 weeks to see if its worked as there is no nerve damage and with everything else they prefer it to heal like this - even if not in line.
Might get to see some of you tomorrow after all

I'm upset and sad that I'm going to miss this peeps, but I have to put the boy first :thumb2

His neck was stiff this morning, some calpol and another ice pack pack has helped, this is the first time I have ever had to buy calpol, he usually shrugs things off after about 45 seconds of crying, he gave me a bit of a scare last night.

It was a pleasure and an honour Rustic. As you say great friends. Apparently I need my front end re-indexing but too late as I've raised a glass to my good friends.

[zippy656]

Sorry to have missed your mate,


Glad you had a great time,

I would suggest if ever you visit you could do it in my garage, but... you are too tall to get it in there lol...

It would have been nice to see you, but I will keep an eye open to the next one.

Back home with my dirty truck, so embarrassing that I didn't have time to wash it before I set off to meet you all.
Tdoug, the club parcel service is working well, I've got a tent for you pal.

Fantastic to meet everyone and as someone has said to me it's as if we have all been friends for decades and I have to agree. It's been a blast from start to finsh and I finally get to have a scotch with a good friend that we have been promising for a long time. Had a look around a superb example of our trucks, showroom condition maybe I should say concourse. Oh and it's owner came a long too:thumbs
Such a great atmosphere I think we need more get togethers.

I couldn't finish the post without saying it was such a pleasure to meet uncle and mrs rustic.

Zac did you have a cold shower this morning from that failed solar water heater:lol

Amazing time with amazing people:clap

[don simon]

Another one home with a grin. Great weekend and great that Uncle Rustic & Roz could get there. Best of luck with the shoulder.
Good to put faces to the names and see a couple of other Terranos, I guess the Patrols were put off by the tricky entry to the site.
I hope everyone has/had good journeys home.
Definitely have to organize another there and get some gentle laning in.
I hope the little 'un is OK T-Doug, shame you couldn't make it. There'll be others.
Big shout to Ian for getting it organized.

:clap

Too many showers, me thinks. :p

[Blocky10]

Our high tech iBanshee spent too long in his new shower whilst banging out Skepta beats on his high tech boom box:lol
Couldn't risk churning up the field pull starting so towed him to the lane. :D

[jims-terrano]

Could have been worse, could of been towed by a landy:lol

Nothing like a 3litre is there:thumbs

[Banshee]

Was worth it to have the shower and some morning tunes.

That was a class weekend, was nice without the off roading for once actually so you could just relax and do what you want to do.

Rustic it was a pleasure to meet you and Roz and I hope to again soon sir :thumb2

That truck is an absolute corker!!!

Me and Block decided to have a drive over to Telford way and we popped into James' farm (Terranobreakershropshire), he doesn't use the forum much anymore but boy oh boy is he active with the parts and the import export game :eek:

I'm sure Blocky and James are glad they have met now, he's a very useful guy, How about all those trucks Blocky :bow

We were also going to climb the Wrekin together but as we left James, we glanced over to it to see the top in cloud cover and being rained on so we departed and said our goodbyes.

Got some nice pics on the way home though :thumb2

Nah, It's a plan but as we discovered the weekend, it appears to be a pig of a project on the later ones as you have A/C pipes in the way, washers bottles etc :doh

[jims-terrano]

Just been reading through this thread, doesn’t seem like 5 years ago. A lot of water under the bridge since then. It did make me wander just how many of those trucks are still on the road.
The Mav is still on the road, I still think about and regret PXing the 3 litre. Not looked lately but it does keep getting an MOT but it tends to miss about a month before it gets an MOT.
