Just to add my thanks to all the others for a great weekend. Thanks to the few of you that made it such a good weekend for the rest of us. Now I'm home and have dry underpants on I feel much better. I can't speak for anyone else Headman, but it is dry cloudy and still here too!

Quality weekend, I felt for all those riding home whilst I sat in my van, I even had to turn the heater down. Glad to see most folks are home and happily defrosting. There was a real Dunkirk spirit about the entire event, it made for an outstanding atmosphere.

As has been said before Chris did an awesome job, Saturday Mornings breakfast we no small task, it would have been 100% disaster with me doing it :lol:

It is defiantly a "Big Meet" to remember, lets hope the sun returns with a vengeance for next year.

A huge THANKS to everyone for making it a memorable weekend.

Not too surprising, since you're only thirty miles away, but at least we know that Gods Country's being hospitable ;) ...
...wonder what it's like for the southern types with the hosepipe bans.

Stopped raining an hour or so ago above my house, or it could be that my gear has finished drip drying.

Thanks for organising such a great event. Great people, great conversation.

Thanks to all for having me.

I’d just like to say thank you for the weekend, well organised, great food & good company.
Trust everyone arrived home safely. I got a bit wind battered over the Peaks but fairly dry all the way.
Hope next year weather is a bit better.
Best wishes

Good weekend as always. The ride home was pretty rough, pretty worrying aquaplaining sideways across the A515 when you are trying to go forwards that wind was horrid. I couldn't even feel my heated grips by the time i got home!! I had that silly moment where you come to a junction and realise your leg has siezed up, just managed to get it to the floor and hold the bike up. ABS was running pretty much every time I went to brake too.

Look forward to getting to catch up with folks again.

What an introduction to Stafford!!!!!!!!!!!! :) . Can't say the weather was quite what was needed but the fellowship and organinsation more than made up for it. Really nice to put names to log ins ( I am bad enough at remembering one name let alone two - wish there had been a few more badges ) Brilliant organising and cooking and thanks to all that were instrumental.
Its great to meet so many enthusiastic and knowledgeable people all so eager to help each other and pass on their experiences.
I now I woosed out by bunkering then sleeping in the trailer - but with the state of the weather driving there and back plus overnight I don't honestly regret it :D :D :D I had enough to control the trailer when the side winds attacked I dont envy the riders.
Really looking forward to the Wales meets and another wonderful reunion.

Many Many thanks :D :D :D

Great to see the line up at Stafford and to meet some of you. Couldn't leave my stall for long but I'm hoping to get to some of the runs when I've sorted the bike out. Sparky.
