Whats eveyones plans for the weekend then ? Matthew I did some touring around your neck of the woods a few years ago and after a few nights in various b&b's I split off from the pack as they were a bunch of nutters (not my riding style) and I wandered around on my own for about five hours. You do have some great roads out there. Only thing was I kept getting lost and ending up in a place called Peebles and after about two hours of not getting any further from it, I was getting a tad nervous. It was like one of those old fashioned horror movies where no matter what exit road you take, you always come back to the same place. Eerie. I always said that if I ever have to write my biography, i was going to call it "All Roads Lead To Peebles" The day didn't get any better when I was doing a very low speed 180 turn and stalled the bike in the middle of nowhere (prbably Peebles) and over I went, on my own, no one for miles and I had a Pan European full of fuel. Sheer willpower got that bike back up that day as no one was coming to help I still keep pushing the hernia back in to this day
Ttaskmaster Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Messing about with the WW2 guys down at the Broadlands show in Romsey, Hampshire. Got the heavy weaponry and the Armoured groups are bringing some vehicles, too. It's multi-period, so there'll be some Medievals, Romans, Civil War and stuff as well. We're also doing firepower demonstrations!!!!!! Anyone around, feel free to come by the show and say hello. I'll introduce you to some high-calibre personal friends of mine!! Just ask for the WW2 American mortar section
DTGordo Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 I love the sound of "heavy weaponry" but..... Got a few fruit trees to dig out and cart them a couple of houses up the street. I'm sure "herself" will present me with a further list of instructions in the morning. Chase the kids around. Happy days....
