Reggie,

Great report and photos (also on the Serow Forum) but where are the pics of the other ten ladies you lured into sitting on Team Cabra? http://s3.amazonaws.com/advrider/naughty.gif

Can't reply to your pm, as I haven't contributed enough to the HU yet, but you can lift any of my images straight from the post:

* right-click on the photo
* then on Properties
* copy and paste the URL in between the [IMG] tags in your own post or use the 'Insert Image' http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...nsertimage.gif button.

You can also go to my Smugmug gallery - there you can choose from different photo sizes - and follow the same procedure.

P.S. Standing on the pegs whilst riding through a dry field in Derbyshire is not really necessary- you know who you are!
I echo all the good comments about the meet. Fantastic organization to make sure we all had a great weekend. It's my second and it was the same weather back in 2006.
Good to meet you Leigh and D. It's always a bonus to have pleasant neighbours when camping. Hope to see you again next year when hopefully I won't be on my own.

Hi Martin,

sorry dude, I wasn't watching, just saw some of the front end off earlier and the rear wheel off! Our mate with his DL1000 was well impressed with the KTM's and I reckon he'll be swapping for one soon!

Great pics, Pumpy, which give a good flavour of the event. (p.s. Where are the March Moon ones???!!)

I'm looking forward to reading about your South America trip. Are you going to put a link to your blog on here?

I had a wonderfull event - great weather talks and people.

However for the third year running the bottom field had raw sewerage coming up! again and the stink was so bad. Many people had to pack up and move tents and it spoilt enjoyment of sitting chatting eating and drinking by our tents. I have camped for three years and its always been bad - but this year took the prize . I told the farm owners and they came out and said 'it ill be ok!!' and put tape around the area. I don't think it would be ok with risk of coming into contact with sewerage!?

Please can someone ask Lumb farm to sort it out.

Apart from that - it was a wonderful weekend.

I'm sorry to moan (i haven't moaned the last two years) but it was rotton having to see and smell that. I can't tell you how nasty it was to camp in the bottom feild if the wind was in your direction!

I camped in the bottom field Fri and Sat night and smelt nothing. Maybe I was upwind (I definitely was up hill). Could I suggest that in 2011 you remember the 3 smelly years and use one of the other areas :smartass:.

Had a great meet. See you all next year. Or even this year if the Autumn meet actually happens... :innocent:
cheers
Chris

PatHorne 30 Jun 2010 14:16
I wondered who would be first to suggest that Chris...

The reason we camp in teh botton feild is because our gang do talks and need to be near to the cars to get all the stuff they need to entertain you all x

Thankyou too from one of the few with 4 wheels! Me and my lovely ladies 1st meet, and won't be the last! Professional and amateur all at the same time, if you know what I mean! We learnt so much from all the informative talks, and even more from being able to chat to so many who have done so much!

What an opportunity and inspiration.

Although we offered to help at one point we were told no-one was needed, so thankyou to all who did, especially those unpaid but who essentially worked full time ALL weekend! :thumbup1::thumbup1::thumbup1:

Hi Sam,

Oh yes I definately made it, better late than never and as always had a great time. IMHO it's the best bike meet of the year.

I'm so glad you had such luck with a donor and will well and truly keep my fingers crossed for you. Good luck mate and I look forward to reading the new book.

You take care and all the best.

Cheers

Shaun.

Hope you still made it BDG. I was really looking forward to being there and to catching up with you guys, but I've a great excuse for not making it. I've been tussling with a pretty severe kidney problem for the last couple of years but I had an amazing stroke of luck at the start of June. I really didn't think I was going to be this lucky but a potential match on the transplant list came up for me and the match was good enough for the transplant to go ahead. I still can't believe its happened. I was destined to quite a few years of problems. People on the organ donor list are just the best!

If I can make it through the next few months without it rejecting then I'm really winning. The launch of my new book on the 18th of September at the Ace Cafe is going to be my first day of freedom. Until that time, because the anti rejection drugs knock the immune system, I'm going to be a bit of a hermit. No worries, lots to do and a great reason to be this way. Really missed being at the Meet though. It sounds as if everyone had a brilliant time. Good stuff. Grant, Susan, Glynn and all the volunteers did a fantastic job I hear.

Anyway, hope you did make it. Catch you guys soon.
Cheers,
Sam
