Blimey, between this and the last photo from Grainstorm there seems to be an average age of Firestorm owner of over 60!

Woke up now after a nice afternoon nap. Back still fecked....but it was a cracking weekend in the end.
Considering the forecast was for torrential rain, we did pretty well. One hour's riding through the rain, but the rest of the day, before and after was perfectly fine and dry.
As ady says though, big thanks to Phil for organising and bring the accommodation. It wouldn't be the same meet without his help there.
It's a lovely place up there in the dales, the pub was spot on and the camp site very nice and quiet.
As always, great to see some old faces, especially as I missed all of last year's meets, and great to see some new faces too.
Can't wait for Scotland now, it's like Yorkshire on steroids :-) Bring it on....
Ady, let me know when you're going for a ride I'll come.

Oi, if you don't mind. A lady came out of her house for a look when we were on that bridge and I nearly pulled. But Ady had his willy out at the time which rather spoiled it.Kev L wrote:Looks like a scene from "last of the summer wine" ! I leave you to decide which is Compo.

A big thank you to all that turned up to make it yet another great weekend
It was fantastic to see the camaraderie between people that have never met before
Thanks to Chris for leading the ride whilst I wobbled around at the back
And I can't forget a special thanks to Adyf for helping with everything and being a great tailgunner
Looking forward to making it to Scotland
Cheers guys

Did Tony's SP partake of too much drink Friday night!
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Cracking weekend' jet lag well forgotten!
Managed to ride into a monsoon all 3 days, got caught 30 miles from home today and the road had 1" standing water after about 3min
Thanks to almost everyone for the crack... Don't think I have laughed as much as when we were sat in the pub early doors Saturday night..... That took talking shite to a whole new level.
Cheers to Ziggy for the hospitality Friday night, and Phil for the same on Saturday..
Will look at the GoPro footage later
