Will probably meander down at some point. Not sure whether by bike though ...... depends on "doggy-daycare" :wink: :lol:

Hoping to pop up on Saturday mostly as a test run for France in half term. Looks like it is bigger than ever.

So who made it? I've seen a few pics online, any one take any decent pics on here?

I would have gone but apart from having too much to do my bike is currently undergoing electrical gremlins so no chance.

We made it on Saturday. Much the same as two years ago but more people there. Parked bikes filled the field/grassy area at the west end and the whole front. Lots of merchants/shops but only the usual stuff. Nice day out but fairly pointless.

In a nutshell, agree completely Dave. Pleasant enough way to spend a couple of hours on a sunny afternoon, but nothing really exciting .......

I went on Saturday and took an old friend that hasn't been on a bike in 30 years,had fish n chips in scoffs very nice .
He had never seen the wall of death before so that was worth the look on his face .
Going to GT Motorcycles to look at bikes this weekend now he has the bug .
Overall i thought the day was quite the same ole same ole as other years but a nice day out
