Hi Mate, no problems it was a great weekend! Hoping there will be loads of photo's posted so people who couldn't make it can have a look..
Good to meet all you good folks. Although I am now in therapy after having Jim knocking on the van door at 1.30am in his underpants. :sick: My gazebo had decided to mount his tent so we had to prize them apart. Who knows I might even bring a bike next year.
The secret of a long life is knowing when its time to go.

kev and sadie
Hi Kev, hope you got back ok! Can I just say Sadie is a credit to you and your wife, there isn't many girls of her age that would ride pillion in that weather without a winge
What an awesome weekend, had an absolutely cracking time and great to put names to faces.
The organisation put in by Jim and family, Herman, Tramp and Sopwith Camel meant a fantastic time was had by all. You guys all did a cracking job!
The road ride was spectacular, great routes chosen and although the weather wasn't great to begin with we still had a fantastic time, despite turning up to the new inn soaking wet lol. It was a brave ride by all and the sun rewarded us for our bravery (or madness!)
It was mine and Emma's first camping weekend and we really enjoyed our time with the group. We managed to get by despite missing a few essentials which others kindly helped out with. People turned out completely different to how I imagined they would be on the forum!
We've made some biking friends and hope to see you soon. I'll upload pics in the coming days with a mini report.
Now the next question is this, who's going to the midlands simmer? Emma and I have penned this one in on our agenda. We had such a fantastic time we want to spend another weekend camping!

What a fantastic weekend I have laughed and laughed until my ribs have ached :woohoo: :woohoo:
A big thankyou to all who helped us over the weekend.
As the only sober one except tom,ollie and jimmy dog Oh the stories we could tell
:whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
Hope everyone is home or at least alot rearer to there baths and beds than they where this morning.
It was great to meet you all, Hope you see you and more at the next summer simmer
regards Sal aka T
Many, many thanks to Jim & everyone 'behind the scenes' who helped make this a great weekend. Nice to put faces to names & hope to see you all again soon.
