Was good to see old friends again, and made some new ones to. Thanks to those who made it happen, I'll be back next year.

It was good to finally meet some of you today.

Next time I'm coming along for the whole thing and stuff what the misses says.

And finally I've updated my pic....think some of you might approve.

nathans little 110 honda was great to see

air conditioning was in the room was in need of a service and the lightswitch was a bit of a streach ..near two feet from the fluffy pillows

:( ...oh well you cant have it all :evil: :whistle:

great ridout on saturday and for such a big group it went really well ..lovley trails

had to leave after the trail ride ...but the wilderbeast did the whole day trailing and the three hour motorway haul without a fuel stop
...scared a few suberu drivers with its awsome 42 hp stomp

some idiot :ohmy: was standing on the pegs in slow birminham countraflow and knocking on the side windows of the coaches with a electric ciggy in his gob :whistle:

amazingly ...everyone waved back probably pissed liverpool suporters from the aston villa match .. :silly:

LOL, you'll have to come on a Northants green lane rideout. We usually start at my house with a cooked breakfast, then you'll get to see the dog!

Think I'm going to dig the XT out of the back of the garage today and get it ready to go off for repair. I need to hear it run.

Well i just arrrived home after an unexpected night on the east coast, and what a great weekend its been. A MASSIVE thanks to everyone there especially the organizers and Dubber & Jimbo f650 for helping me out and generally being great. It was my first ABR rally so didnt really know what to do or what to expect, but everyone was realy friendly and helpfull. It was great to meet new people literally from all over europe. I hope mart gets well soon, it does look quite swollen.

Ill try and get some pictures up later.

Now ive just gotta see if i can get the time off for Ullapool :woohoo:

Cheers
