If you can make next years you will not be disapointed, the location, pub, beer, food, camping, wenches is fantastic,

What a great weekend.

Had a nice ride from Oxford on Sat - pitching the tent around 2pm
Briefly rode just the down road to Gloucester to see my children before returning to start the evenings drinking :pist
Was good to meet some old and new faces - exchange a lot of banter - some of it at my expense :lol: especially about my blowing exhaust and "wind-sock" for a tent :lol:
Tried a number of the beer festival beers :beer had some good food, chicken curry & chips - quality - followed by some more beer.
The band was good :) but a shame they took up most of the pub :(
A quality breakfast this morning and another good ride back to Oxford.
Really looking forward to next years events :D

Congrats to GB & PJ !!!!!

Cracking time was had by CB and myself. We only came up for a couple of hours, but GB did a deal with the delectable Sam and we had a bed for the night and a tidy brekkie smornin. The beers at the festival really were top hole and the band were Ace !!! Seems GB has booked them for the South West rally next year :lol: I believe there were some attractive serving wenches ... but as a happily married man, I obviously wouldn't notice :lol: :)

CB wasn't feeling so good this morning; apparently this was a bug and had nothing to do with her huge intake of beer the previous night :lol:

For the record; a Zed 650 exhaust will not fit a Zephyr 750 unless you cut it off after the collector bit and TIG it back at a different angle :roll: Also Gungum exhaust bandage will fix a hole in the headers the size of a 10pence coin :) don't look great though :lol:

Great to meet up with zeddists old and new :)
