BMF Bikefest - Kelso

Hi everyone, got home from Kelso about 4.30 yesterday, knackered but happy, after a great weekend!
Weather turned out fantastic, got a bit wet coming home but well worth it.
Was good to meet Kate again, also met her other half Bob, Alison, Fiona and their OHs (sorry useless with names, but think i did ok considering it was quite late in the evening that we met!!!)
Bands were good this year but be good to see League of Mentelmen back again next year.
Did'nt buy much at the show ourselves but some friends got some really good bargains.

Had a great weekend at Kelso. Really good to meet Dixie & The Juj and all their mates. We never made it to the bands on the Friday - but thats another story

Well i got really, really close to getting there.

Wufie and me were making the 1000mile round-trip from Skye to Huddersfield on Saturday in a Transit to pick up his new purchase, a 916 - 'tis reallly luvly.

Anyhow - we thought we would get up early, 07.30 and get down the road, maybe pop into the Bikefest for an hour or so if we were making good time. We got to Moffat and peeled off the M-way to make our way over past St.Marys Loch - what a road, must go back on 2 wheels - we arrived in Kelso at 15.50. Parked up the van and went to the gates with £20 note in hand.

Someone then informed us we were too late to get in, the stalls were being emptied, please leave now. I explained we'd come pretty far including a 50mile detour specifically to have a look around as I'm really in need of a new lid and gear. He wasn't interested, in fact his words were something like 'that's a f'ing shame but you're too late so come back tomorrow'.

Gee thanks dude, maybe next year eh. Looked like a great event from the other side of the fence, so hope you all had a nice time. Please dont tell me there were Shoei's going dirt cheap in there....

No Haggis, no cheap Shoei's. The stuff that gets sold is either 'Custom' (as in fringes!) or tat....so I wouldn't worry.
Unfortunately, I didn't see the bands on the Friday night, as Ali and Dixie were pouring Vodka down my throat and I then got sent to bed early (possibly because I was, by then, bouncing off the walls off the tent!).
Sorry to Jillyburd for not meeting up! Bit hungover!

Yeah right Kate! Ali held you down while i poured the vodka!

I was wondering, might it have been the wine before the vodka that caused the bouncing off the wall effect?

Anyway, it was a great weekend, have to do it all again sometime!

See, I knew something like that had happened!

Yeah, the rose wine, the red wine in the Sangria, the brandy in the Sangria, the Vodka (that you've now admitted to! haha!).....at least I was put to my bed before Ali brought out the Buckfast! (in shot glasses, no less. How sophisticated!) LOL!

Would love to do it all over again....but my liver says NO! LOL!

That's where all my vodka went

Ahh vodka..

I am missing out, whens the next one of the 'bike rallys'?
