    Arrived home at 7 after a leisurely plod home. Saw WinXPmaster and Pale Rider, as they passed us just before Tamworth Services.

    Got mobbed by our two kids when we got in and had a whirlwind of tour of what they did while we were away, followed by the dreaded homework!

    Thanks all for a great weekend. Special mention for Whealie, thanks for assisting the camping numpties with their cheapo tent (my words not his!) - cheers Chris .

    Only one problem - needed longer to get to meet all the folks who came out to Dartmoor - what a turnout!
    I'm on the Safe House List
    03 TA Blue, Givi bars, centre stand, Givi Pannier racks, heated grips, MRA Vario - smooth!

    Also 4x4 with a towbar - and a trailer!

    It was really good to meet so many forum members.
    A brilliant weekend, and many thanks to all who help organise it, and Stormforce8 and Wheelie for organising/leading the ride outs.

    Aye we were going a fair old lick all the way home really. Got in at 20:00 so not bad timing. We rode with tendays to birmingham and made him miss his turn but he was ok and rerouted, it was Dereks fault i think

    The one night i had there i enjoyed, it was good to finally put faces to names. 820 mile round trip for a few shandies, must be mad!
