rosie Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 What an EPIC day today! The convoy is massive! We've been to Maiden Newton, Martinstown and at the mo were having tea and cakes in Dorchester. The out riders are doing a sterling job in keeping roads clear, thanks guys and girls!! Jack is blowing the whistle and keeping us all in order. From my perspective everything is going tickity boo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMS Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 some great pictures there of a great weekend, massive thanks to all that made it happen and a big thanks to the outriders for doing such an excellent job of keeping the convoy together and moving, well done:tup:: (we wont mention trying to send a few of us to Honiton!:cool2:). also well done on the weather, never before have i experienced all four seasons in one weekend!!!!!! The Mrs was gutted that she decided to head home this morning thus missing out on the sunny afternoon on the beach! who would believe the weather could turn out so nice, Mini Ring love the chance to strip to his pants and get in the sea!!! Trip home was lovely in the baking sun without a traffic jam in sight! truck performed faultlessly on the return journey, very happy. Once again Thanks for a great weekend. it was all too much for some on the way home :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
