“Rain rain go away come again another day”…..did it listen?? Did it eck!!!

For those that travelled up on Thursday,  I understand the journey wasn’t so bad, but for those who went up on Friday…OMG!

When Magic, Martin and myself left Weston, bound for Leigh Delemare to meet up with Shazza, Dave, Fisty and Bunch it was dry, well kind of, but by the time we pulled in at the services apart from coffee, fags and the loo, there was only one thing on everyone’s mind ... better get the wetproofs out! From then on in I could choose a variety of words to describe the weather, but only one really gives it depth ... it p*ssed it down!...& p*issed it down!!  and just to be certain... It p*ssed it down some more!! Soggy, tired and relieved to be finally turning the engines off, it seemed that most who travelled up on Friday had had a similar journey to us.

The hospitality of our hosts soon made us forget and a nice hot cup of tea cleverly disguised as a few cans of speckled hen soon made the whole thing just a distant memory.

 

On Saturday the gods smiled on us (I think someone somewhere had told them we had just about had enough) and a well-planned, expertly executed rideout took us on some fabulous pot hole free roads. It was heaven!

Some great bands, the usual  frolics on the dance floor and the chance to congratulate this years 20yr members for being just that, made this rally a fab weekend. 

Its always great to see old friends, take the chance to make some new ones and just hangout with the C17 crew. Somehow the distance, soggy underwear (just how does that rain drop get down there?) and chattering teeth seem almost worthwhile (I did say almost) J

Wild horses won’t stop me being at the next one & I look forward to seeing you there.

Ride safe Linda
