Morning all, stil not found accommodation for the Reiver next week. Has anyone had any luck with any spots to camp in a van near to the event?
Everything else is sorted. Apart from fitness obviously.
We dossed in the car park (well kipped under a tarp just in the woods) both the night before and the night after. We weren't the only ones! A lot were kipping in vans.
That's great @whitestone, thanks. Is it generally accepted or frowned upon? I'd be gutted to get set in for the night then be moved on. I need my beauty sleep.
I think it's "tolerated" because of the event. Someone from the FC came round early in the morning putting "please pay the parking fee" notes on cars, including ours 😒, but didn't complain about people dossing in cars.
Boxelder who posts on here is either the main organiser or helps a lot with it so he'll be much better placed to give you a definitive answer.
The observatory car park may be a possibility. The official timed start is by the car park.
Thanks both, I really appreciate it. I was hoping the carpark was an option. Is that the case @Boxelder?
Is this the official Dirty Reiver Thread then?
Very pleased to see the official timing bands are reduced to 9he's rather than 10, which i take to mean the parcours is 1hr easier this year?
The car park is fine for kipping in whatever form you choose, I slept in vehicle last year and will be doing the same again this year.
Fingers crossed for pleasant weather!
Thanks all, carpark it is. What time to people generally start getting there?
There are other car parks, nearby, that are free to park in.....
that's all I'm saying.
