Kein problem

Went for a long ride tonight.

I was only going over to Gt Bentley for the Wednesday night meet, but then I thought I'd ride over to Maldon and collect my phone which I'd left in the pub on Monday.

Gt Bentley was busy, plenty of people there tonight. Saw 4 Sv's 2 were pointy 650's and 1 silver 1000

Met a newbie Curvy owner and told her (yes, another female ) to get registered on the Org.

Had a sprirted ride home in the evening sun with not many cages about, except for one just before the last pair of bends, doing about 40mph in a 60 zone

Thought I would take the long way home from work last night - 5:30pm is not the time to try and have an enjoyable ride - far too many people trying to get home from work doing their best to ruin it for me

Same for me, as I found out all the hundreds of cars were leaving the Suffolk Show and also the going home traffic at Heybridge.

But the rest of the evening was great.

Top tip, roads will be clear when England games are on in the World Cup.

Do your shopping when they are on too

Amen to that! Hoping to go out early this Sunday - whether I will be allowed or not is another matter!

I've just loaded the car up with camping gear, taking the kids tonight for a 'trial run', never taken them before!

Of course, the difficulty is that i have to do EVERYTHING myself, most importantly putting the tent up whilst they're trying to wander off in three other directions - i'm stressed just thinking about it!!

However, we're pitching up on the Searles site so we have use of the pools and amusements, and most importantly there's a chip shop with garden on site and we'll head to Tesco for brekkie cos i'm not prepared to source cooking gear until i know it's gonna be an ongoing thing!

Im taking a sleeping bag each, inflatable matresses AND their quilts and pillows - i really want them to be as comfy as possible and enjoy it because its the only way im going to get them away for a few nights during the summer.

Am i mad to be trying this on my own with three kids?? Probably but it'll be an interesting experience

I cant believe that in this beautiful sunshine the next opportunity i'm gonna have to ride is next tuesday

Always enjoyed camping as a kid. My kids enjoyed it when they were kids. Not used our gear for some time, in fact someone has borrowed one of our tents this week.

How long are you in Sunny Hunny for.
