Sorry.. late entry.. but just had time to read 10,000 words on the interweb about biking ....and thought I'd add my tuppence worth

Didn't do the survey. Missed that. I do like to lie on those things. Just to mess with peoples heads.

Two points, if I may.

1. This is was the 2nd HUBB meet I have attended (the first left me with a bad taste in my mouth and I swore I would never do another) and Donnington was absolutely brilliant. I enjoyed it so much and would recommend it to anyone I thought would be interested. Well done all.

2. The costs need looking at perhaps. A neighbour friend attended. He's a 4X4 man and was keen to learn what he could. He did however think that £40 each for him and his partner, for the day was a little expensive. He declined to pay and left. Can't really blame him. Perhaps the day rate needs to be lower or 2 for the price of one ? He wasn't intending on camping over as we only live 90 minutes up the M1.
No idea if it was £40 each as I got a weekend pass.

3. I hate it when, having paid a fee to camp, there is an additional fee to use the facilities.. i.e. shower.
I have ridden away from campsites before that do that trick. Its wrong.
Which is why I was glad that the shower blocks with the ' Dynamically Fluid Temperature Control ' were free.


And finally .. there are those that count and those that ride. I don't count.

Damn! That means I will only be able to go on Saturday.

Yeah put me down for gate duty next year as well. It's the best way to meet folk and catch up with old friends as well as eye up all the beauties as they arrive ( I mean the bikes you filthy minded lot )

In fact, even if it turns out I can't afford the ticket I might just turn up to man the gates before buggering off home

Agreed, I think the advantage of being in the company of so many interesting like-minded individuals is so valuable.

Minor inconveniences like dodgy showers or noisy planes shouldn't be too much of a worry for an adventure traveller - we're made of tougher stuff!!

Donington must be easier than the Road of Bones !!

And from Thursday it was dry !

Have you thought about doing a presentation at next year's HUBB?? Why not
We need more people doing more presentations on all sorts of things. It makes the weekend EVEN more enjoyable for everyone involved and is a great way to share your knowledge.

I've done a presentation for the last few years and I'm sure people are getting bored of the 'same old names and faces'. Whether you've been on a trip, want to go on a trip or have lots of questions about trips there's a presentation in everyone.

Go on - give it a go!

Does that mean I've won ?

But while I'm on, out of interest, are there any official attendance figures for the event ?

Me to looks like we're sharing.

As Sam and I said in the Saturday night "thank you" session, and as has been mentioned in a few places online including the PegasoPodcast interview with Grant and Susan, HUBB UK 2013 ended up being the biggest event in the history of HU. Attendance far exceeded the circa 700 from the 10th anniversary event in 2010 (though wasn't it good how it still felt relaxed and not at all crowded?)

We're keeping the exact number just for internal reference - mainly because we don't feel it's the best yardstick of success. The important thing is what people got out of being there.

I feel a fund raiser here , £1 to enter nearest guess wins prize proceeds to charity and we all get to know the answer

I am still trying to workout if it was a good thing to attend this year much better than years gone by and thay were good. A bit of aircraft noise ha! ho! one of those things all in all 9 out of 10.

When I got home went out and spent a fortune on a Land Rover Defender 90 so someone got at me

Can the mods move my picture thread back out of this, since the link takes people to the first page and not the one with my pics in, and of course anyone who's visited here before is likely to click 'last page' and miss it completely.

I'm not being grumpy (for a change) but I did put a lot of effort into taking and then posting the pics, so I would appreciate if people could see them!

Thanks!
