Hoggs Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Want to moan about a tag? Want to tell me how awesome I am? Both are welcome here but I prefer the latter. For any new players, it may surprise you but I don't actually go to all the places. I rely on the magic of google maps to try and ensure I am not sending you down any insanity roads (if your satnav does that's not on me) however it does mean that occassionally places may have closed or changed name. As long as you are in the right vicinity you're gonna get the points but if you can let me know any issues and I will rename / find a local alternative as necessary. It's all about fun, there are only a few rules and the Hoggs special rounds are open to interpretation - in fact this is actively encouraged - so enjoy yourselves getting out and about! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can totally have it as a mythical beast though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggs Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 Researching the interwebs, apparently they did lay eggs. But it's my rules so still a no 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing to win its just for fun and to get out and about and ride the bike so the only thing people would be cheating is themselves Should maybe start charging £5 entry and make it a competition and the winner takes all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Old Git Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) You can't always park safely close enough to the tag - Especially when you ride a big bike! Ever tried getting a Triumph Rocket III out of a hedge - I had to find help from a nearby farm - I won't be doing that with the Harley!!!

CB999 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 It’s not about the winning its more a go at getting 2nd……..…….….. …… for me it’s the motivation to get out and about, add to this the South West Rally, Welsh Rally, National Rally, Scottish Rally etc. and you can become very focused indeed 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 For me it's mainly about signing up to something with an intention, but then not really doing it. Repeat next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
