Rally [Aug 6, 2015] Bristol Balloon Fiesta Funster Rally. (Brsitol)

[Wombles]

Do you keep one in the mh? A womble I mean?

Yes - the one in the photo His name is Tobermory

 

[Trikeman]

Great ideas above - lets get everyone booked in first and then we can move into length etc.

This could get out of hand otherwise.

once we get everyone on board and booked in we can then get something together - just give us a few days and Terry and i will have everything sorted.

we have to be careful as every day we have to wade through lots of thread/comments to try to find anyone who has confirmed as the list/thread gets bigger. We can only have one list ( page one) as any more and confusion gets a big issue.

Apologies, but just hang fire until we get all booked in.

Many thanks,

Trikeman.

It's Tobermory - nicest one I could find who lives on the dashboard at rallies We call our motorhome Womble due to its number plate letters so we are the Wombles on here.

Thanks Wombles -suddenly I couldnt see the woods for the trees for a minute.

It will be a great success if we can just keep our eyes on the ball - just until we get all booked in.

No probs BB -looking forward to a few with you. For christs sake dont offer Terry a few drinks, he's a collyflower ear'd Bristol rugby hooker - hollow legs and hollow head. ;0)

Trikeman.

Looking forward to meeting you both..........hollow legs or not T.
To age myself, I'll remind him of the time Aberavon hammered them on the Clifton College pitch............but he's probably far too young to look that far back!

Aberavon, now that takes me back a bit. Racing from the sea front through Sandfields on my bike - one of the times in my life i hoped the throttle cable didnt snap or I run out of fuel. ;0)

Good days.

Did you know that I.K. Brunel had a 1" steel rod passed over the gorge from Leigh Woods, (near to our site), by which he and his wife were pulled over in a basket? (before the Clifton Bridge was constructed). Half way over, the basket stuck, so Brunel climbed up ONTO the rod, freed the wheel, and they got across..... That's a must see area for me whilst we are there.

Hi Toots - its a must see area for Debs as well, but it will take all of us to get her over it and back - either kicking and screaming or under the influence of alcohol!

.....We are there this weekend - we may get as far as the end of the bridge I may have to go and scare myself.... ...and go and have a look

Thanks Geraldine - think we cross posted

@cliffandger
Do you think they'd let me walk along the middle of the road????

HA! Its not there now! It was built as a way of getting workmen over the gorge ready to construct the bridge pylons. however, I have been told that some part of it still remains near to Leigh Woods. Even though Brunel was the engineer for Clifton Suspension Bridge, and it's 'his' bridge still in place and working to this day, he was dead before it was finished, due to a shortage of cash, which held up construction for many years.
