I was down by all the food vans when they made the announcement to make your way to the stage. It's a shame you wasn't aware of them. The song and get tissues ready... http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php ... 514&ref=nf

Well done Biker Chick and to everyone else that took part. Think today it is hitting home now after watching footage of the ride as to how big it really was. My time slot was 9.00 - 10.00 and the bikes were already rolling in. The speeches and presentations were brilliant and when Tim sang his song I don't think there was a dry eye anywhere on that airfield. ooooooooops eyes filling up again...........

Wow what a weekend. Went down on the Saturday and hit The Jolly Huntsman pub it was great will proper scrumy cider Sunday was brilliant, 9-10 slot with no probs getting onto the airfield. Think we left about 11.15. so not to bad. I had a lump in my throat and eyes were filling up when I entered Wooton Bassett. To see that many people cheering, clapping & shouting out thank you was just so WOW! Then returned back to The Jolly Huntsman to finish off the day with a coke. This was a ride I will never forget. Photo's coming as soon as I can get them to load on the computer.

Sorry double booked again. Got Tom's Pedestrian Training at the school with him so I won't be back home till 11.00 ish.

Ticked no meals my money is going on drink

Hi Neil, don't think i,ve got anything planned. Will shoot over straight after taking Tom to school so should be there 9.30 - 9.45 ish for a good catch up with you.

Hi & welcome to the forum!

From: Julia Stevenson, Afghan Hero Great News! If you missed the original registrations for the Wootton Bassett event there is still a possibility that you can attend the ride. Due to duplicate entries, drop-outs and cancelations we will be able to offer a limited number of reserve places. Please use the form on the link below to get onto the reserve list. http://www.afghanheroes.org.uk/bikerseventreserve.asp

Food was good for £3.50 but the horseradish sauce could have done with being hotter. Vicki, Craig had loads of veg....

Hope this helps http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=huntingdon&daddr=Hullavington+Airfield,+Hullavington,+Chippenham,+Wiltshire+SN14+6GU,+UK+(Hullavington+Airfield,+Hullavington,+Chippenham,+SN14+6GU,+UK)&hl=en&geocode=FSF7HgMd7Sv9_ylBqKAd2QnYRzHRrS7VrOLJCA%3BFd84EgMdiDDf_ymLFzphWnBxSDFR9w7pIKswqA&mra=ls&sll=51.578987,-2.083531&sspn=0.180071,0.410614&ie=UTF8&ll=51.530106,-2.147913&spn=0.090132,0.205307&z=12 SN14 6GU

Update: Copied from the afghan heroes site:- http://blog.afghanheroes.org.uk/2010/02 ... ouncement/ Mother’s day ride through Wootton Bassett – Official Announcement The Following announcement has been passed to us by the event organisers. This replaces all previous announcements. The FAQ will be updated to reflect this new information. An announcement… and at last it’s great news! All the agencies (Police, MOD & Local Authorities) have come together to make the Mother’s day ride through Wootton Bassett possible. The ride will now start within the Hullavington Airfield nr Buckley army barracks (A429) and all of the 10331 registered riders will pass through Wootton Bassett before dispersing. All registered riders will soon receive (by email) full instructions/documentation of the route, arrival / leaving times, a proof of registration and the method by which we are going to get this many riders through a small Wiltshire village safely and without causing total gridlock We absolutely understand how difficult it must be for those that missed registration however must ask non-registered riders NOT TO ATTEND; As this poses a major threat to fellow bikers who would be at very high risk if left stationary on the M4 motorway as a result of any of the local junctions becoming blocked. We must stress that ONLY REGISTERED RIDERS will be able to go on the organised ride. We would like to thank The Unity Ride team for their assistance in the negotiations, planning and kind offer to marshal. Thank you everybody who has offered their help for this event. If you still would like to contribute your time or services then please use the contact form on the Official Afghan Heroes web site and tell us what you can provide. http://www.afghanheroes.org.uk/contact.asp Julia Stevenson.
