I'm booked up and staying in a caravan up at the Smugglers. Stayed there last year and didn't have a problem apart from it was a bit noisy.

the whole site used to be fully booked with just mini peoples from what i heard, now you still have to book while your there for next year if you want a caravan, like i said, durin the mini shows its not too bad with people about, majority of mini owners arent absolute twonks.
i stayed in smugglers after the 1st year i went there (2007 i think?) and well its certainly wasnt the same atmospear, we had some tonks behind us shouting sh*t at us for such pathetic reasons i cant remember, i think it was because i had a skateboard...yeah cool! doesnt happen at mini shows, in 2006 i stayed at rose cliston site and didnt have any trouble, other than that (and the retarded security gaurd) it was still all good, made friends with some random cool bikers too.


yeah the main show is indeed on the sunday as is the run...its superb if the weathers good, random sun burns from dash reflections woo!!!

How many people are doing the run down from Reading services? It would be much quicker for me to go direct but I love the drive up to Reading and joining in with the cruise down with all the other minis

I'll be doing the run from Reading. I'm a lucky one, as it's just one junction down from where I live, in the right direction :-D

I'm interested in doing this but I don't understand it at all... everyone seems to have done it before and knows what they're talking about, but it doesn't make sense to me. There's a run on the Saturday and Sunday? Where from and where to? And will the campsite be fully booked? (All I want is a space to stick my tent).
