I plan to be there - coming down from Aberdeen on an Africa Twin and camping.

Back home now, nasty wet grimy ride home. 175 miles in 3hrs 30mins so reasonable time for conditions. Glad I was on the Pan with its big fairing. Hope everyone got home ok without any probs.

Thanks to Mario for organising. Nice to see some of the usual faces and a few new ones.

Me and Boydy got back around 1.30ish. My feet were soaked right through. First thing was a long hot shower then a hot mug of tea.
Thanks Steve for organizing the meet up. Great weekend, from what I can remember, :-) Nice to meet up with old friends and make new ones. Hope all got home safely.

See you next time, Nick.

Hi guys,
It was a good weekend, shame about the weather, but enjoyed meeting some new friends. I look forward to going on more of meetings etc.
When I got home I thought I had problems, took of my gloves and had purple hands.... the dye had run 🙂
But I’m not buying gloves to ride in the rain, I’m a sunshine rider 😂

Hoorah! My camping and riding kit has finally dried out.
That weather certainly tested the camping gear and I did see quite a bit of discarded stuff in the campsite bin.

Nickoff filled half of the bin so I’m looking forward to seeing him next year using a top of the range tent and sleeping bag. Surely the Wendy house tent didn’t survive Nick?

That sleeping bag I chucked never was much good so it just had to go. Only unloaded the bike today and my top of the range tent is now on the washing line :lol:
