Yep Im up for that.
By the way in the past 2 years I have been there i have taken my small gen set for Mayhem boaters to charge ther stuff up during the day. I was thinking of getting them to put £2.00 in the hat for Neils lifeboat project.

Great News as thats the one bug bear I had I'll use up two 12v batteries displaying my models features on the saturday and needed somewhere to charge ready for sunday morning £2 no problem...

Just got in from the lake. The Arun petrol engine and all is now good to run next weekend. It's been a long time getting it to run OK but I think it is now ready.

Hoe does that V8 sound in the Arun Bill??

Colin Bishop · « **Reply #321 on:** May 22, 2011, 01:57:05 PM »

With all the boats that are likely to be there next weekend should we institute a body surfing competition to get from one side of the pond to the other without getting wet?

Sounds like the models will be wall to wall...

Ok, with out going through everything which maybe i should before you all read this, but me, my cousion an friend are thinking off popping along to the event.

Now this will be our 1st time to wicksteed, an have no idea as what to see there. But we are more into fast electric racing! will there be anything there that we can relate to or is this more for the scale boater?

An what type off stalls (if any) will there be for us to look at FE wise?

many thanks

Just hope I get there now as my cars decided to blow it's head gasket! Rubbish French surrender monkey Peugeot...

i could throw an offer out to you, I hope to be going as well, so if you car is un servicable still, let me know on thursday, and let me know what boats you plan to take so I can figure a loading plan for my kit + your kit

Number 6 · « **Reply #337 on:** May 23, 2011, 07:18:30 PM »

Thanks for that Ghost, I should have the French surrender monkey back tomorrow, unless it throws in the towel again. I'll let you know asap, cheers, Dave.

Ghost in the shell · « **Reply #338 on:** May 23, 2011, 07:21:49 PM »

ok,

i will have a tent, sleep bag, duvet + pillows, table, chair, 3 boats Tx's in the car, so it will require an interesting loading plan. how long is that sub?

Number 6 · « **Reply #339 on:** May 23, 2011, 07:25:10 PM »

Sub is 6ft so don't think it would fit, only just goes in my 406. I'll have to 'borrow' an 45ft artic from work!!

Ghost in the shell · « **Reply #340 on:** May 23, 2011, 07:28:54 PM »

i was thinking, some foam padding and a couple of ratchet straps and strap it to the roof

Hi,

What is the best way to get from London to Wicksteed (Kettering) if one do not have a car? Train? And how to get from Kettering Station to Wicksteed Park?

No firm plans to go. Will see what the weather's doing on the day. May sling some stock in the car if it's OK. If not, well at least I get to keep all my fingers intact.

hi Helge,

East Midlands Trains serve Kettering from Saint Pancras station

walk up Station Road to Queensberry road, Turn Right onto Queenberry road...
...cross over Headlands onto Broadway
Continue to London Road, (A6003) and turn RIGHT
you will then come to a roundabout with a garage by it (now disused according to google street view), - on your right hand side
cross over roundabout
You will then pass a pub called the wayfarers inn, keep on going till you come to a second roundabout, go over it onto Barton road
there will then be some railings on your right, this is Wicksteed park, the entrance is a short distance on your RIGHT
