Right Guys and Girls

WHAT WAS GOOD,WHAT WAS BAD, HOW CAN WE IMPROVE THE EXPERIENCE.

I will ask this in a number of headings and be honest, we can only improve if you give us honest feedback and don't hold back I can take it :(

Information about the event
Questions dealt with in a speedy manner
Directions, check in to Rally and updates dealt with
Camp Site facilities
Ride options explained
Food options (Did you like Chilli - was it too hot) Don't care you weren't cooking it until stupid hours on Thurday night :P )
Overall experience
Would you come again (say no to this and go Norfolking Around instead or the Boil :laugh: )
Anything else

Thanks in advance hopefully you had a good experience, if not let me know.
Love GOG 007

He's just being keen!

Actually first observation, a campsite a bit closer to the trails maybe?

Brilliant time, camped Friday only and did the road ride. I was slightly concerned about going on my own as it's my first ABR rally, so don't know anyone, I needn't have worried, very welcoming and all including, fab weekend.Only small negative was the lack of facilities at the site, but it was an Adventure weekend :)

Itchy, It's gona be my first ABR rally at the Boil and I'm slightly concerned about being on me own as a lass cos I don't know anyone. Any tips for a Bongo Burns going on me own? Was there many lasses there? I don't want to be the only female at the Boil rally :lol: Oh one more question will I be coming out of me tent and seeing all men facing the hedge having pee?

Well ? :)
I had to peel off after the "On ye'r bike stop" as I had to get back to London, but I must say GOG had done an immense and impressive job with the organising of this weekend.He had every last detail covered as far as I could see.

Showers were a bit of a trek from the field (but then I'm a lazy ar*e and I rode the bike to them anyway)
Main road was a bit noisy and it got too dark too early Friday night (but that's March for ya').This sort of thing though, is always in the hand of the gods. :(

For once I was at an event where I knew less than fifty percent of people,which made it nice for hearing new tales and anecdotes from complete strangers ! Nice too,to meet the old "Elephant" boys. Barftone (unexpectedly) from Bath and a few other old mates ! :)

Yes - I'm only sorry I couldn't have stayed longer (and gone over Tramps maps, proper like ! ;) )
