I will be there on my XT600 Tenere. I go every year and it is a great rally, really well organised by Will & Bob. I am trying to persuade Oz to come too, but he is proving a bit reluctant at the moment! See you there. Cliff (Brad XT)

Nor have I, but they don't mind - they just put us right at the back of the group photo!

Sad to say the great Oz has piked out and won't becoming to the rally! Shame on him! Cliff (Brad XT)

P.S. A polite note - those who are coming need to register with Bob & Will from the XT500 website.

Hey Brad. This meet is in my diary, but I've recently had an awful lot of time off and I'm pretty brassic and the van needs an MOT and I'm also busy.  If I win the lottery this Wednesday I'll be there................IF :o

Have a good time and say Hi to the others for me.

Cheers Steve

Another great weekend, weather and company.

Indeed it was. 38 bikes on the Saturday ride out. Great weather, great company and the beer wasn't bad either.

A lovely surprise seeing Tim and Alison show up on Saturday.

Hope you all got home safe. See you again soon I hope.

Yes, a fantastic rally. Me and Ali weren't even there on a bike as we just called in for the last day of our holiday. But nobody could say anything cause we had two massive dogs with us  ;)
Great to meet up with so many Thumpeteers again, and new XT friends. And Baskerville Hall is one mad venue. 90 trainee vets having their formal, a bunch of Landrover off roaders, and the XT rally all in the same mad country mansion  :D

Those dogs are pussys  ;), and don't forget to tell us all you were drinking with the Prime Minister of the Falklands.  ;D

Yes, this is true, the squid fishing magnate and ex PM of the Falklands is an XT rider and came over specially for the rally. Turns out we had a mutual friend i hadnt seen in years, who became head of Ascencion Island. You couldn't make it up, or was it a Wye Valley Butty Bach fuelled hallucination  :-\
