Glad you all had a great weekend, was so sorry not to be able to make it but with our eldest taking part in a concert in Liverpool Cathedral on sat night (and her pleading with me to go and see it) it was never going to happen.

I love Hawes (careful not to say that out loud!) and the mix of it, and the Trixter Gang, is a guarantee of a thoroughly brilliant time. The Big Man upstairs was clearly smiling too as the weather's been stunning. 8)

Good to hear Peter's back on 2 wheels and that Alan won't be far behind. Wonderful stuff. :)

I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that all the Boxertrix weekends, Flash tours and the Parry tour of Scotland are drinking and gastronomic events just interspersed with an occasional ride on a motorbike of some sort!

Thanks to Peter for the organisation, Friday's group dinner and leading.
Archie and Steve W for tec
Steve Parry for the company riding up and back and the Lagavulin scotches last night.
To Chris for booking me into dinner at Cocketts on Saturday.
And all the rest for being a bunch of good blokes.


not so much gastronomic as necessary fine tuning of the suspension adjustment :)

Eat more pies :D

At one point I thought it was going a bit pear shaped when the errant spring clip detached from the H7 bulb holder on your 12S...... required the services of a blind gynaecologist to reattach it methinks :)

Ah yes, good point Steve....forgot you were all posh up there and could afford 2 of them. :)

It was the big red one, not the one I believe the locals call Paddy's Wigwam.
