Like wise, got back on the bike about half two, missed the turning off m5, so ended up going through Stroud. Cotswold air show on today, so had the red arrows to watch as I rode. Last minute bonus i did'nt expect. Great weekend, thanks to Kirsty for the edge of her pitch, and everyone else for food, drink etc. Kerry, it's "i google" not just "google", whats the next one :wink: Hope you all make it back OK :D

Hi we came home a very unusual route using the garmin. :shock:
Many thanks to Ian and Marianne and their team. We had a wonderful relaxing weekend. Spoke to so many peeps, never stopped chatting. Lovely to meet Alison from Cornwall and Sue and Nigel(roof raisers). Best of all to share the weekend with friends. The remembrance to Dot was lovely. Fabulous time. Thanks to everyone who was there. =D>
Sorry no pics, too busy. Trish and Harry

That's ok Carl... I went in a FORD! ( Flippin orgasmic rapid delight)

Huge thanks to Marianne and "the boss" (and all the crew of course) for the best week i've had all year (and i mean that). What better way to share such glorious weather with even more glorious company... Thanks everyone!

Cheers Chris...Hope the new owners appreciate the unique tattoos! :D Yeah, i saw the smart bike near Kirsty's pitch, i simply assumed she'd bought a donor for a bigger engine upgrade for her leccy bike! (like she isn't going fast enough on batteries as it is!) :shock:

Pimped caravans are the next big thing Chris! I still mither DBO to let me do a mad paint job on his! :lol:

Thanks Ian and Marianne and all the bongo helpers who worked tirelessly to make the event a success. Thoroughly enjoyed it again. Had a great weekend chilling with friends and meeting some for first time. The lanterns were a lovely tribute to Dot. Just sad bash is over too quick and that I wasn't able to come for longer this time and sorry to the people didn't get to catch up with this time around.

looking forward to next one now.

oh yes and chris' bike was ace!

Great weekend (as ever) and great to meet and chat with so many friends old and new. V. sorry I missed others (so many I'd meant to say hello to) but there's just never enough time esp. with all my catering chores, making sure the boys aren't bored etc. I thought the Chinese lanterns all sent up in memory of Dot was very moving and it was great to be a part of it.

And to echo the title of this thread, big big thanks to Ian and Marianne and all the others who must have worked so hard to make this weekend in our Field of Dreams such a special event. Fanbluddytastic I say =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>
