    Just tell them you're with the other bikers. I doubt there'll be any other groups there this weekend. If it's in the rally field, it's at the far end of the main campsite.

    By the way, I think there's also a bike rally at the campsite in Filby. It's for old British bikes, but for the life of me I can't remember which marque! I don't think it's for Triumphs, though.

    Bike passed 100,000 miles on this trip - but it would have been memorable anyway.

    Thanks to all the organisers and ride leaders and, particularly, to Nick for sorting out campsite visits etc.

    Thanks to Jacqueslemac for letting me ride into him and nearly knock us both over - oh and for the very slippery ford.

    Debs and I didn't get horribly drunk so the evidence suggests that it is Sharrie who is the bad influence.

    A failed attempt to up your quota of spills! I thought you did a fine job of staying upright, all things considered.
