We had a lovely long weekend too. Thanks to Karen and Alan @Wombles and all the marshalls for all their hard work.

It was lovely to meet up with so many old friends and to make new ones too.

Thanks to Lynda and Ken @canopus for finding us a new avatar and to Paul @Popeye for taking the photo and joining us on a long walk to Hurst Castle.

Thanks to Phil @Taran_Las for making the Motorbike Museum trip so much more interesting for Cliff than if he’de gone on his own with me - so many bikes, so much to look at and discuss - I don’t think they stopped talking all the way round - apart from when they (and I) were stuffing our faces with Lemon Drizzle Cake in the cafe! Love the new van Phil - I hope you enjoy every minute in it.

One final thing. The ‘horn incident’. Contrary to the rumour of energetic rumpy pumpy activity that Colin @Armytwowheels was hell bent on spreading - we were in fact fulfilling a public service. What to do when you are in distress in the middle of the night when everyone (apart from Jen @funflair) is asleep (sorry Jen) - you deploy your horn until someone suspects an attack/imminent medical emergency/gassing and comes and knocks on your door to check all is ok.

I can safely say you passed the test @Ven and the safety tip can now be added to @Jim ’s Motorhome Handbook!

The fact that we were both fast asleep with the telly on and so didn’t hear the horn blasting (being caused by the captains chair resting on it) need never be brought up again - once again - sorry Jen (and anyone else we inadvertently woke up with our safety drill ...) !!

Once again - we had a blast! xx

That’s a fantastic aviator....(y)

So you’re the one.....:LOL::ROFLMAO:
 
Big thank from us as well to @Wombles and the Marshalling team and all the funsters that attended as well.

Martin and Jen

PS if anybody wants the recipe for beetroot and chocolate brownie cake just PM me and I will give you a copy.
 
Sorry I didn't see @Mousy . I was looking forward to a cach-up, didn't see @scousebird or @Tanya_and_Mick , or @Crazylegs , but met several others for the fist time @Smith and Sharpand @Jenben , @highwayman and at long last @Scout ,

Profound apologies @Popeye we hooked up with some friends from the Hymer owner group and then spent most of the weekend fine tuning our shared hobby of rapid bottle extraction. So successful have our methods become that two of us couldn’t walk our cycles home from the festival in the rain without falling over.
I hope we catch up at another rally.
John.

Hiya teammates (y) :)

Are you sure that you were not victims of a gas attack? Did you check your box of ipads and rolex watches for any missing ;)

Paul
 
The farmer was very pleased with us all being well behaved, friendly & organised so is happy to have us back next year (y) :) The number of bottles we got through was a bit more than he has seen before from other rallies - we did say that Funsters like to enjoy themselves! :giggle:
Just trying to find out dates & working out what we can do to make things even better next year - more sunshine would help but we can't guarantee that!

Thanks for taking me there. Enjoyed every minute.:cool:

If anyone is in that vicinity and likes bikes the museum is a must. As 99% is undercover it would be ideal on an inclement day.(y)

Still sore, I'm rubbing red wine medicine on it to make it heal faster:D2 Thanks for asking. Pleasure to meet you and Rob(y)

I think you are supposed to drink the red wine to numb the pain!!!
Great to meet you too!!
Take care and don’t carry full buckets in crocs on a wet muddy field any time soon!!:LOL:
 
Well, home at last after our tour of RHS gardens on the way back from Lymington (the highlight). Thanks one more time to Karen and Allen, all the Marshalls, the quiz-masters and all the new friends made (y)

As promised, here are a few pics - if nothing else to prove that it didn't rain all the time ;)

The first is on arrivals Friday, I'm guessing we were one of the later arrivals.

This 2nd is the Red Arrows display team, heading home having missed our rally site by only a few miles - must have been dazzled by the sun!

The next x3 are from Saturday :)

Until next time then!

@Mr Chrysalis & @Chrysalis for organising & hosting the fabulous Isle Of Wight trip & for the fish & chip run.
@Scout for the extra shelter, great lighting & loan of the radios.
@petenshirley for the fun quiz, the lights & for rescuing the shelter in the rain many times!

@Taran_Las for the yummy curry.
@Badknee & @Debs for looking after Funsters.
@martin1485 & friends for the lovely music.
