Thanks everyone for a great trip, good to meet new MT members.

Special thanks to Kevin the "tail end Charlie" and for stopping and helping me with my clutch cable snapped, and sorry to those who had to wait for me

To Alex for the "lead", finances and fuelling

To Grant for the suggestion and organisation

To everyone else for making me feel welcome and making the trip what it was

Crikey that was the hottest riding I have ever done, but great days out and a bucket of memories

Thank you all and I hope you all got home ok :D

We got back at 8 last night. Long old day driving up to Calais and the drive back home.

Huge thanks to you all for your company. An absolutely terrific weekend with a great bunch of guys.

Thanks to Alex for his navigation, we saw som great scenery and sights and it was so much fun feeling like a celebrity as everyone waved and photographed our entourage!

Thanks to Grant as well for organising and inviting us.
