The thirteenth Bristol Splunch will take place on Saturday, 17th May 2014 from 2:00pm – 7:00pm in Horts Bar, 49 Broad Street, Bristol, BS1 2EP, and for those who are still peckish/thirsty later at some eatery/watering hole elsewhere in or near the city.

This is a vanilla meet; all over 18 from anywhere are welcome, and entry is free – I might even buy your first drink.

How do I get there?

Broad Street is about twenty minutes walk from Bristol Temple Meads railway station, easily accessible from almost anywhere in the country, and there are several car parks nearby.

From the railway station exit, turn right along Temple Gate to the roundabout, cross over onto Victoria Street, continue over the river bridge into High Street, and bear gently left into Broad Street as High Street turns to the right into Wine Street. Horts Bar is about one hundred yards down on the right.

From the bus/coach station, exit onto Whitson Street, left into Lower Maudlin Street, cross Lewins Mead to Rupert Street and turn right. After about two hundred yards, turn left into Christmas Street, cross Quay Street and through the stone archway into Broad Street. Horts Bar is about fifty yards up on the left.

For those driving, at the bottom of the M32/Newfoundland Street, turn right onto Bond Street, take the first exit at the roundabout into The Haymarket, turn left into Bridewell Street, left into Nelson Street, right into Halifax Street and into the multi-storey on All Saints' Street - only £5 for the whole day, and closer than any other one. Map below.

To get to the bar, from All Saints' Street, turn right into Pithay, right into Tower Lane, left into Newmarket Avenue, and right onto Broad Street - the bar is a few yards down on the right. (Politically correct notice – other car parks are available in Bristol.)

For those flush enough (or subsidised) flying into Bristol (Lulsgate) Airport, take the 331 bus service to the bus/coach station and proceed as above from there.

Hotels – the usual chains are readily available: Premier Inn, Haymarket (next to the bus station, approx ¼ mile – from £86); Premier Inn, King Street (approx ½ mile – from £49); Hotel Ibis, Temple Quay (approx ½ mile – from £75); Hotel Ibis, Anchor Road (approx ½ mile - from £89); Travelodge, Anchor Road (approx ½ mile – from £85); Travelodge, Mitchell Lane (approx ½ mile – from £74); Holiday Inn Express (approx ¾ mile – from £92); Holiday Inn (approx 1 mile – from £118); Future Inn, Cabot Circus (approx ½ mile – from £109); Novotel, Victoria Street (approx ½ mile – from £85); and Mercure Brigstow (approx ½ mile – from £99). For those hotels that are not available for Saturday only, rooms seem to be readily available for two-night stays, either Friday/Saturday or Saturday/Sunday nights at very reasonable rates. Other hotels are available – check laterooms.com or similar sites.

I’ll be hoping to do an outdoor mud shoot on the Sunday (always subject to the bl**dy weather and availability of sober drivers), but I’ll have to see how I feel much nearer the time.

If you have any further questions, post them here or pm me.

Better get my hotel and train tickets booked

Bugger, I shall be in Nottingham that weekend geeking it up. (And with any lucky having some messy fun with Ching at the hotel in the evening.)

I shall certainly be there, and bringing Candy with me of course! (or is she bringing me?) Either way, we're definitely looking forward to it again....

Hello everyone. I'm relatively new to WAM - what exactly is a Splunch? Thanks.

Jeez, you've been here for nearly five years and haven't worked it out yet, or have only just got around to asking?

A Splunch is the Sploshers' version of a BDSM munch. Drink, chat, meet'n'greet, drink, chat, listen, drink, chat, learn, drink, chat, advise, drink, chat, offer opinions, drink, chat, discuss substances, etc, drink, chat, make friends, drink, chat, maybe arrange a session. This is usually followed by a meal in the evening, and at Bristol an outdoor mud session the following day; always subject to the bl**dy weather.

Thanks Mike - I often visit the website but only login if I feel like saying something and mostly that's rare given the number of feed posters who are either in America or seeking man on man action. In the last 5 years I have got messy in a group only twice so it would be fab to have more experiences.

will be there training it down

I'll be there barring any disaters

Hello everybody.

Will be there and staying for dinner.

Look forward to seeing you all there.

Wamadeus

Ill be there.

I think I mentioned before, I won't be able to get to this one as I will be on my way home from St Petersburg on a cruise ship. That's if the Russians haven't locked me up by then, Hmm, I wonder if sploshing is illegal there?:ahahah:
Never mind though, I'll hope to see you all in Hastings at Sammy-Jane's "do" in July!

Richard

The two of us will be there.

i would like to say it will be great to see you all again but i'm really only intreasted in the fountains........ LOL

oh, and yes we will be doing din dins.

I always forget to mention - yes, count Candy & me in for dinner too... especially if we go somewhere that serves the food on the same day as it's ordered!

Henry

The Splosher's Prayer

Our father, who art in custard
Sploshing be thy game.
Thy squelching come.
Thy will be sploshed in mud,
as it is in custard.
Give us this day, our daily gunge
and forgive us our trespass (onto private ground)
as we forgive them that trespass against us (& have no idea of fun)
and lead us not into vanilla (unless it is pudding)
but deliver us from boring
for thine is the sploshdom
the squishing and the squelching
for ever and ever
Amen

Not sure if we can make this one yet, will let you know asap Mike.

Keep praying harder for good weather, please. We need a miracle heatwave if the mud is to be warm enough for a shoot on Sunday.

Thanks,

Mike.

Bah! I wish I could go Splunches sound like so much fun and it seems Bristol is my kind of city.

Important Note: We will NOT be in our usual place at the front of the bar, as that has been taken over by a giant TV screen showing a football match. We will be beyond the bar on the left, adjacent to the exit to the yard and tables outside.

Save your weather prayers for August; the temperatures over the next few days are not sufficient to warm the mud; so no shoot this time either
Thanks,

Mike.

Can I confirm a desire to attend for dinner?

Shame about the lack of mud shoot but I'm sure itll be a blast anyway
