Well, it never happened in 2013 - some cancellations and some just plain scared people, so I have high hopes that I can lure everyone over later this year for Filth Camp (This time it happens!)
I'm promising the same experience again - bring your best prototype mud tyres, winter clothing, full suspension frames, 'water resistant' packs and I'll show you a few great days of bike riding, with some wet, wild and wooly weather (hopefully) and you'll have a chance to do the following:
You will be able to:
Put still-wet shoes back on in the morning.
Finish a ride in the dark. At 4.30pm...
Use the spare, dry gloves I told you to bring as yours are covered in mud
Slide off on wet roots, wet rocks and wet grass
Wear out a set of brake pads in a ride.
Undress in the hallway as your clothes are too soaking wet
Not convinced yet?
You will also be able to:
Walk into a cafe and/or pub, covered in mud and get served some great beer and hot, hearty food without being told to leave.
Shout to be heard above the noise of the wind and hail
Gather round a log fire while still dressed in all your clothes
Laugh at the ridiculousness of it all when safely back home in the dry.
Be stronger and more alive because of it all.
There is no charge for Filth Camp (though perhaps if there was, we'd get more people turning up!) and I'll do my best to find fun, economical accommodation for everyone. It's a chance for professional and personal enhancement :-)
