I think there’ll be camping on site. There almost always is. I’m sure we’ll get the details through in the next few days.

Let’s hope the weather doesn’t break before next weekend.

Not very promising for the next few days but long range forecast is OK on BBC - Sat AM looks a bit damp

I also presumed there would be camping, like most members' rallies, but after reading your post I checked JetSet. There was no mention of where the campsite is so I sent an email today to find out where it is and was told there isn't one. Glad I didn't just ride up there without checking!

Thanks for the heads up. Yes, you are right. No camping at the site. I have just booked digs.

I also have assumed camping on site. I may have to have a rethink.

It didn't really suggest there was a 'site' in Jetset.

The venue for the Sat night is here

The low ticket price reflects the lack of camping.

Anyway, mine have just landed and looking forward to it.

You don’t have to carry a tent all that way now. Think of the positives :D

Wild camping is legal in Scotland, I think that might be the way forward.

Have all the tickets gone out - I'm nervously waiting for mine. I used the electronic service for the first time and was concerned that I wasn't asked for my membership number? I could be panicking for nowt and it may be waiting for me when I get home.....

From the BSM rules
4. All events included in the championship must incorporate an evening event, with camping or overnight facilities available. Daytime only events will not be included in the championship event list.
Is this what you're looking for?
