My thanks too, I really enjoyed it. Met lots of people, a lot of look and learn, a lot of bacon sandwiches, learned how to skin a rabbit and how to carry a dog on a tank.

Many Thanks............Honest!
 
Why "Down at mill Lad" it were great! So good to see so many familiar faces, and then some, a fantastic weekend one I hope to repeat, again!.
I learned many thing's, but then thats why we go!

Thanks to all the team involved.

As for the charity table, a cracking idea, can't see the problem. Who would miss a pint of beer..............or two?

"sickie for 2 days for the Thursday and Friday. Then I REALLY got sick with flu from the damp tent and I am now at work BUT REALLY ILL!

Instant karma?"

Wish I could have been there!
 
I had a really great time there last year and met loads of fantastic people, but this year I'm actually ON my big trip so many thanks to the HU team and all the attendees for being such a great inspiration.

(By the way, if you're ever in Leadville, Colorado, you HAVE to stay at Leadville Hostel - what a great place!)

Had the pot been on the scratch table I could just have put the money in there (as I did when I sold some waterproof gloves later in the day).

Hi,

It was my son that bought the waterproofs off you, the following day he fell in a puddle on the green lane rideout and was perfectly dry, as I said to him at the time you were going to spend £20 on a waterproof jacket so why not get a waterproof whilst donating to a good cause, shame you did'nt tell us about the gloves we would have given another tenner for those. We had come from Royston, Herts so not far from you. Great event and will be back next year with waterproofs this time. The presentations we went too about 4 were all excellent.

Regards

Robin

Many thanks to the organisers for an enjoyable weekend.

It was my first time and I dragged my brother along with an open mind. He very much enjoyed the Garmin session and I the Ted Simon presentation.

Lumb Farm is an excellent venue with friendly and very hardworking staff, chill out attitude and all set in the Derbyshire dales.

We had a ride out to Matlock on Saturday (the dry day) and it was fantastic. Cable cars in England whatever next?????? garlic bread???

Hope to see you all again next year.


Hope that Stupid bloody dog is not coming though ......it barked all morning on Saturday, had me reaching for my Black Widow.

To be honest - I was so busy I would have forgotten about the waterproofs had you not come in asking about them. If it's any consolation I suspect the gloves would have been a bit large for your lad and Les had them off me when I finally remembered them. :rolleyes:

I'm glad they kept him dry though - :yes: :balloon:

Hi Scavenger

Cough improving day by day....

I was shocked to see your "buddy" drinking your wine when you were at a talk. Your gasp of disappointment when you found out was clear - you had been hurt by this.

But I was even more shocked and even disgusted when you put a torchbeam on your "mate" only to find him sucking on a little bottle of wine you had in reserve. He was like an ugly Bambi caught in a headlight beam. The look of guilt and fear on his face and the wine dribbling down his chin will haunt me for a long time. The thought of him drinking your wine in the darkness like a tramp or a fugitive is, frankly, very worrying. And you plan to do RTW together?!

You could wake up in Mongolia one morning to find everything gone, and all you have is a sleeping bag and a set of your own stained underwear. He will have drunk your wine and eaten your grub, and sold your bike to a passing herdsman. No wonder he calls himself "The Freeloader".

Buen viaje

Yes ! damn that daft dog - they should be banned...

Not all dogs are bad...
 
We took our dog in our 4x4 and he was great - however we also were discussing the importance of carrying poisoned sausages ... brought on by a particular barking, bike and people hating dog.

Enjoyed the meet even though we have had to stop biking due to injury and are now in a 4x4. Would have prefered not to have been thrown at the back of a carpark though.

See you next year

(P.S i still have BMW riders gear for sale- see for sale forum)
