Will a roof tent be a liability? I guess the Westyfans cope OK but my roofbars - Neil's old Disco ones - are a bit tall. If there's time left I'll cut'n'shut the upstands.

You will almost certainly be the recipient of Clive and Jenny's first class instructional course. Pay attention, no note taking, 100% practical!
I could almost do with a refresher (along with a few from the last SP, apparently)

You would be very welcome to sit in with us - although we are pretty much beginners as well as far as Syncros go.

Re: Devon lanes & touring weekend
Ha ha Pete,
be interesting to see your trials beetle out amongst the 4x4s,
how would it do?
Possibly quite well..
We are planning to join you all, which will be our first time out at anything 80-90, Syncro or even VW related!
Syncaroo is running around happily at the moment, although the front bumper is still smashed,
there is an opportunity to pick one up on the way, which would be good.
Also got booked into Syncrospares, 31st July, to see if they can settle the idle speed down.
So maybe get our caravan on location early while thats happening... would that be possible?

Re: Devon lanes & touring weekend
Anyone got a deep wader for the Friday night extreme tour.. just gentle sightseeing like, and a pint on the way home.
Think Nick said he'd bring his dry-suit or waders next time, so far doesn't seem to be in the list, its just a wee mill-stream, thats all
