Off I go again….

Set out tomorrow for the 2011 Horizons Unlimited Annual Meeting in Ripley Derbyshire…. and the weather does not look too promising …

It will be a good event – they always are… such a lot of nice people to meet and chat with… and Mick O’Mally will be there to share a few stories with and even glasses of beer….

By the time I get back the bike will be ready for it’s 6,000 service – that’s 6,500 since mid-March (average 2600 per month) bugger…… and of course that will mean new tyre too in July..

I have managed to bugger my back over the last weekend so I am struggling a bit to get on and off the bike too…

.. The First Adventure Travel Film Festival

.. last weekend I attended the inaugural UK Adventure Travel Film Festival held at Appledore in Devon – it was arranged by Austin Vince and Lois Pryce. Absolutely brilliant…. All the films were excellent, the location was great and the weather sunny and hot (well Friday and Saturday anyway)… A link to the event can be found over to right of this blog…


I met so many interesting and nice people - the location was perfect – and the beer was chilled.

This is going to be a must for next year – as well as the Horizons Unlimited event later this month at Ripley. Here are a few photos…



This is Mick - such a nice chap....




And a good night was had by all.... bring on the next film



Austin Vince - doing what he does best..



It's not all about bike you know........
