Yep, home safe and sound.
Enjoyed the weekend so so much, popped in the Ace to try and come down gently from the great weekend.
Now, who's going to sort out AR09.......................

A very very big thank you to all involved in the organisation of the weekend and a very very very big thank you to the Apes, big, little and Mrs for the hospitalty suite and the cargo van. Hope all went well with the RAC.

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

Got home around 5 ish... stopped off in Salisbury on the way back to see a friend, stopped for coffee, chocolate cake and a good 'ol natter, took me no time at all to get home really, 45 minutes to Salisbury from the camp site, then another hour from Salisbury to Guildford :)

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

We got home, but we're not safe. After discovering that I can ride swiftly with maria on the back, I'm on the hunt for more roads like those on the rideout.

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

Home! \\:D/

I had a great time with you guys!

Roll on AR09!!
:rave:

p.s. Dropped by to see Ace Cafe's SV & bandit day and had a coffee, it consisted of 4 SVs, Spiderman's, FG1's, SVracer12's and mine! :smt043

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

also been home ages now as the boys say above but i didn't wanna log on cos i knew i'd read all this and the weekend would be officaly finished. Boo! :cry:

Yeh the SV and Bandit Bash at the Ace was well impresive, Not. :lol:

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

Got home about 8:45.

Well you see, someone had stolen all the electricity from the battery of the Ape-mobile, so once it had been started by the nice recovery van, and having decided that due to time and location, the Carvery at the pub could be a good idea (and it was), it was about 3pm when myself and BA left Podimore.

Then after we got to Chez Ape, there was a call to let us know that the minbus had misbehaved again, and now the breakdown people were being waited on again, turned out to be a broken throttle cable.

So was later than planned that Vixis and I headed for home...

But we made it back fine :)

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

:cool: and sorry for the delay. :oops:

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

here, here to a rave at the next one too ;) had a quality time. apologies for my annoying drunken torchlight behaviour :rolleyes: and any other misdemeanour i may have comitted!!

did you have a stop off on your way home bear? or were we filtering faster than thee? ;)

i didn't realise people were going to go to the ace before home. may well have joined ya's.

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

Nothing you could have done, and well, you did offer to let us crash again overnight -so you really could have done nothing more - thanks to you and Jo again :)

Besides I think I know what happened with the bus, while we were trying to start it with the flat battery - we let Stretchie near it (and he may well have touched the throttle cable) - that guaranteed mechanical breakdown for sure if Stretchie touches ANYTHING :P

Hehe :)

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

Had to stop for an emergency power to weight ratio adjustment at Fleet Services! :rolleyes:

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

Poo or wee??

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

No woods at Fleet so I guess it was a wee!! :lol:

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

Me an Raf still couldn't catch you fella, the decrease in weight must have helped you loads :D

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

What is it with you and vehicles that dont start ;)

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

After Fleet I passed svracer12, choo choo, Chris8886, I think Lucas and Messie as well. I'm guessing you guys passed me while I was in the cubicle!

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

Oi We passed each other on the M3 - M25 interchange!

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

yeh what the hell happened at the M£ / M25 bit? I was at the front, whi8ch is a bad thing at any intersection, but Chris numbers said "do the M3 its much quicker" so i did... and he buggered off with the rest of ya onto the M25 bit. Baffled???

Not that i'm complainig it meant i had no one to keep an eye out for in my mirrors and could just get on with it and sinc i was the first to arrive at the Ace i guess i did pretty well.

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

a whole five seconds before me :rolleyes: ;)

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

I dunno but it ain't funny any more. :sad: was going to fix the non starting bike but have spent the whole day so far drying out everyones tents. :lol:

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

Thanks for a top weekend guys :cool:

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

LMAO - Calm yourself Bernard - :smt042

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

just got in 5 ish monday. did spot a silver SV on the A303 heading west this morning. my first ever eyeball.

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

I'm still sitting here in the field waiting for my hangover to go and my tent to dry out. Maybe I just left an important part of my brain there, somewhere in a field in Somerset....
:smt041

Bring on the next one.

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

Darren, if you are still in the field, remember to snuggle up in your "warm" sleeping bag.....:rolleyes:

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

and i re-passed ya on the m25 ;)

yes i said M3, then the M25!! lol. i was thinking of going home rather than going to the ace :rolleyes:

you''re FAR too good to us mate!! thanks a million again!!

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

I fixed the non starting bike. Well I changed the battery and it started first push of the button. It would appear the battery wont hold a charge. Either that or the rec/reg is buggered. To be honest I have been bone idle and couldn't be bothered to do any sort of proper diagnosis.

Oh and all your tents are nice and dry and re-packed. 10 friggin tents erected, dried off and re-packed. Me poor back. :lol:

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

i repeat the above!!:thumbsup:

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

You mentioned the clean (not any more it's not*) wet t-shirt in your ruck sack. Got that. Didn't expect the smelly black socks though.

Wet black socks, hence the not any more bit. :lol:

Re: The 'Home Safe from the AR' Thread.
 

Simon i love you :D
