No, I'd never heard of that website either, but Nigel assures me that there are many interesting websites on't interwebby thing, covering all sorts of specialist interests, if you get my drift.

  Listen up .. "sleeps 12.com" is a site I have used for many years. They are of course big properties that are spotless usually with a pool jacuzi nice decking and view etc many bedrooms and plenty of space. We usually order a Tesco delivery for the afternoon of arrival so that way you don't have to take ANY food or booze with you ... even more important on a bike. For 3/4 nights ... a long weekend it maybe £3500 or so but between 12 people it can work out at £300 quid each which is just a bit cheaper than for example Tyndrum Lodges where we stayed in Scotland and of course much more luxurious.
SO in an ideal world you would need 12 people who would commit to such a few days. The more the cheaper. Someone has to order the food delivery and booze which then has to be paid for. Someone has to book it and there is no "change of mind" or "it looks a bit wet I wont bother" type of shit. If you say you are coming then you have to stick by your word and stump up your money way in advance with no refund if you change your mind ( obviously everyone else would then have to pay more)
So there you have the basics. It would be lovely but you have to commit and stand by your word. There are no refunds if you change your mind or throw a wobbly. Top class accommodation for 3 nights or so.
Check out the site "sleeps12.com" and take a look. It could take off and be the best "Annual meet up" ever but it needs some sorting. Not wishing to take it away from Steve but I would be happy to sort ... but there can be no messing around.
Post your thoughts on here.

Sounds like a good idea 👍. My problem is booking the dates 🤬.
Do we have any chefs on the site 🤔 

[Lonewolf]

Most of us are retired, you still have a regular income each month so I was thinking you could pay for a live in chef for the week to cater for our needs. Let me know what you think of that brilliant idea'

Don't make me laugh, I overheard you speaking on the phone while we were in Scotland to your accountant telling them to transfer funds to your offshore account to avoid being detected by the man from the Inland Revenue.

     I wish that's why I only have the GTR in the shed

Rusty,

if the timing is right re harvest/planting (for me) I'd be in for houseshare rather than hotel if it's cheaper or considerablely better quality.

Well it's taken a month, but I have finally found some time this morning to look at two of Steve's videos, and very well done they are again.

I'd be interested in a "sleeps 12" or similar for next year, it would all depend on dates of course, so if it is pitched I will see how it works out with the other things life has teed up for me. Location would be a factor as well, if it's Scunthorpe that will be the week I'm washing my hair.

Not too bothered about a bloke doing the cooking, although I could probabaly handle Nigella.

Stay safe.

Pete.

You might need both hands for Nigella       

I've been telling you all that Steves videos are good,










Can I have that Fiver now Steve  ?
