Where do you start with a weekend of such awesome proportions? At the beginning that's where, so strap yourselves in with your beverage of choice and enjoy a Speedman tale.....
Got overly excited and decided to bypass the SE convoy and head off mid morning friday taking a lunch stop at Middle Wallop to watch the helicopters flitting round
Arriving at Haynes there was a drift photoshoot going on and the campsite was open for business, I missed out on being first in this year, but it was pretty empty at 3pm
Spying Mark on the far side of the field with a pile of poles and gazebo I thought it rude on to pitch in, several metres of gaffa tape later and we had a cinema ready for its audience
I took a stroll to see the cheery RR staff tent, hats off to the guys once more for pulling together a great location, add a few more toilets and I'd say it was perfect for The Gathering
While HWbuggered up rebuilt his bike....
....I headed back to the camper for some grub and waited for the masses to arrive. Corking idea to bring the two piece suite
Some random helmet bashing ensued
And a few tried SOC big wheel, with varying degrees of success
The MM BBQ was fired up for the first of many meat sessions
And we started a wander of the campsite, picking up odd people on route
Before settling in the cinema for some Vanishing Point and The Italian Job.....
...I like em Big!
After a long day for some, tents were zipped up and camper doors shut for some Zzzzz
