Gin

Wut... There should be all 10! *Hurriedly looks over photos again*

Oops! Just did in the other thread.. It's this lot + Walden castle a while ago, as a group picture, for me

We kept this one small as a demo run to see how a "Sleepover" forum outing would go, as normally the main over-night trips are just the Rally etc.. As this one went well, we're now considering more over-night trips in the next few months. which will hopefully mean more people could tag along at some point

Cheers Rant Glorian, Hoggs, Rant and I should have some nice points coming in from this one!

Haha.. Alright, I'll go fish for ideas in the main thread

The journey to the McDonalds was only hindered by a 1050 leading the group and mildly over estimating the overtaking power of an unfaired 250, with a rider on tall enough to be a sail in his own right However, we somehow all managed to arrive at the same destination without bikers pinging off left right and centre and got ready for some good chow down. Rant with his Happy Meal and toy! This is when Hoggs managed to snap this beauty After a quick stop for fuel it was time for the final run. 4 Pubs in quick succession! Three Tuns: We didn't even de-kit, however Rant managed to attract some attention at this point.. A young lad seemed oh so smitten with the 250 After a quick chat we bounced back onto the ring road. Black Bull: The Royal Oak (and it was at this point, I realised just how bloody short I am..) : And Finally, The Exhibition!: A drink was had by all in the beer garden while we waited for Hoggs partner to make his way over. The night degraded Rapidly from this point on, as we trundled over to the Holiday inn, dropped out kit in our rooms, added Jay to the party and booked the Taxi into town for an evening meal and drinks.. Fanks so much for the awesome weekend guys and I can't wait for the next one.. Equally, SOO MANY TAG POINTS!

The George and Dragon had a mildly "Don't serve yur kind round 'ere" feel to it but for food, we'd endure any amount of odd stares! Alas, another pub that didn't serve food .. They did tell us though that the White Horse did food, if we just wanted to go down the road... Hoggs stands tall and proclaims "No Gin. We do Not go Backwards!" Onwards then... To the Barely Mow. Surely, this would be our salvation! The sign on the side proudly proclaimed that it specialised in Steak dinners and the pub garden looked spacious (even if the gravel car park scared the heck out of me.. ) I'm pretty sure the regular patrons must have thought we were insane. All they would have seen is 4 bikers stomp through the front door, see a small hand written sign stating "Kitchen Closed today, Sorry", Roar in unison and stomp out again.. F it then, there's a bloody McDonalds up the road. That'll have to do

Thankfully the next two pubs were across the road from one another and so we were able to get a round of pictures before wandering into the Waggon and Horse for lunch. Cue first, awful, group shot: At this point, google fails us. This pub didn’t serve food till 6pm.. With Grumbling bellies, we hop back on our bikes and travel on…

With one headphone in, under the helmet, and my phone safely stowed in my inside pocket we trundle out of the carpark and off down country roads to the sound of “in 200… Feet, turn… LEFT!”. This is when my dear mother decides she’s going to start texting me, not just once or twice, but 8 times . (Which on an iPhone is about 16 alerts) Poor Google is attempting to tell me where to go but is being constantly interrupted: “At the roundabout, take the *BEEP BEEP BE-EEP*…” Somehow we managed to get to the White Horse! Only at this point does Hoggs proudly proclaim “I’ve already got a White Horse pub, but will take the picture anyway!” That’s it madam, you show off!

Hullo all, After the TOGS meet at Walden Castle, we wondered how many more tags we could collect as a group. Seeing that our points in the pub category was sadly lacking, a pub crawl of sorts was organised! Midday at the first pub, The Horseshoes, was the starting point for the four of us. Like all good plans, things go wrong.. Rant, on the smallest CC in the group, managed to turn up early at around quarter to 12 (beating the usually time efficient Hoggs by only a few minutes). This however was where things started to fall apart. Upon checking their phones, they notice that Gin is running a little late... An hour later the red faced Sprint rider pulls into the car park , ready with the profuse apologies, only to see that there is still a blue bandit missing! A well timed phone call soon comes in from Glorian himself. His new shiny Satnav, which he had so proudly wired in the night before, had died and dumped him in the middle of sodding nowhere! Rant is then thrown the phone and told that as he's the most "Local" he needs to sort out the directions. With a sigh and a headshake, the three bikers wander into the pub to grab drinks and settle down on an outside bench with a good view of the road. Soon enough Bandit boy trundles down the road; from the complete opposite direction we had expected him to appear! The first Tag is finally grabbed: It’s about this point that we realise that our planned Navigator for the next 9 pubs, is at a slight disadvantage ; having no Satnav! I have not lead many rides before, normally planning to sit at the back and “Herd” the group. However, I was the one who had originally planned the route and so it seemed to make sense that I would attempt this next step. Onwards then! To the White Horse!

... The fact that the person (Loathed to use that word) who did this was screaming "Britain first" is sickening to me.. This is such a vile thing to happen, I can't even imagine how she must have felt as she realised what was happening to her.. Just hope her family are as well as they can possibly be at the moment..

What a horrific thing to happen.. All thoughts with her family and friends Of all the political replies, though I thought our PMs official reply was a bit generic, it was Hillary Clinton who's irritated me: Pandering politician just trying to secure more votes.

Well he's been making a right fuss all week... I can see why it might confuse people!

Hope you're having a good day Panda

I'd always say Topbox.. Had one on my Varedero, Bandit and Sprint and they're Soo useful! Have had tankbags before but they will cause some damage to your tank over time ; specially with a chain / lock in there. Tail bags are fine, have one on my Yammy, but they're also a lot easier to get into by unwanted hands! If you can afford it and don't mind the looks, I would say Top box for sure Good in all weather, good back rest for any pillion (yes, even on a 125!) secure if the bike Does go down..

Aye Going to see mum straight after lunch with these guys, so wasn't on the bike.. Had a really lovely time though and honestly, the pub owner couldn't have been happier to have a horde of bikers descend on him

Forgot to throw this up Spot the odd one out

Yay! You too! Can't wait to see your outfit.. Between you, Glorian and Rant there's going to be quite the pyre awaiting sacrifices

There you go MW You have the start of a class to teach.. Does this help you with your fancy dress outfit as well, headmaster? I'll be that kid that sits at the back, feet up on the table, slinging bits of rubber about but secretly loving the lessons

I'm always up for learning Now you've done it... You'll be in lessons all weekend. He'll likely have quizzes at the end and you won't be able to go home till you pass by a certain amount!

*Makes a mental note not to bring the Yammy again!* Will be good to see you again

Had a really lovely lunch Was so good to see you all, you were missed MBS.. Fanks for sorting this one out Hoggs! X Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What about copious amounts of that Regain stuff? Luscious locks in no time! In all seriousness, I envy you lot.. I hate having to have long hair but look pretty daft if I shaved it all off

*bows deeply* Yes, Sire... http://i.imgur.com/HUOILol.gif' alt='IMGUR>'> Jay and I will def be going but have Noooo idea which day yet! It's a long way off
