Shall have to consult my social secretary, but if I’m free I’ll be there

[JRH]

That might be doable. Let you know nearer the time.

I'm up for this... I might even have a lady pillion in tow!

You should really let her sit on the bike rather than dragging her behind

Only 40 miles from work (Hinckley) and straight down the old Fosse.. Is it a big do? i.e. worth travelling for?

[Guest]

Hi Snod - yes, it's a good laff - see pics.There's a barbie, good atmos. etc. Just come down the Old Fosse Way, turn left at Tredington onto the A3400. When you get into Shipston, pass the hospital on your left and turn right up Watery Lane (if you miss it, next right up Station Road). Black Horse is just at the top - you can't miss it.

Im down for this.

[Snod Blatter]

So is anyone still going to this? The weather looks good, cloudy and not baking hot..

[JRH]

I should be there about 7 - 7:15 ish all being well.

[Igloo]

I'll be on a train to bradford unfortunately

[Snod Blatter]

And so I did go, and it was quiet..

It is very laid back and the pub serves good beer, I appreciate that, and the hot dogs are nice even if they are £4 but I'm not sure I'd bother again.. Also the local loony saw I had no one to talk to so promptly talked at me about his warehousing job for far too long

Still, at least the CBX provided some amusement for the locals due to being right old!

The evidence....

 

 

Where was your bike parked? I was the grey FJR parked on the corner of the car park next to the green street triple

We were talking next to JRH's bike.....I'm the [strikeout]fat[/strikeout] good looking one with the H belt on....

Yes, we met the local character as well.......rest assured, just one of many - but living round here, it's just like protective camouflage.....

To be fair, the reduced attendance was probably down to all the road works that have effectively barricaded the pub.

I was wearing a very dirty hi vis and camo (army surplus) overtrousers.. My bike was parked opposite the pub entrance, the white Honda.

The H belt made you look like you would try and sign people up for the local ROSPA group, definitely to be avoided

Well, strangely enough, lurking at the back of my wardrobe.....(with the Tufty Club Certificate and my BSc (Bronze Swimming Certificate)), I found......this

 

 

...but I'm alright now........
