How was your Bank Holiday weekend???
 

Hey guys.....we always have a thread asking what we're doing on the weekends, I thought I'd start a thread asking how your weekends were.

Me and Stretchie went to the Baskerville Challenge with the dogs and my mum and dad. My sister and brother-in-law were there with the kids as they were competing and it was the most amazing weekend for anyone that likes off roading and truly beautiful scenery. We camped ina rally field at Baskerville House Hotel. It's the real Baskerville.....Arthur Conan Doyle was a friend of the family that used to own it.....he used to stay here regularly and learned of the legend of the Baskerville Hounds. He based his famous, "Hounds of the Baskervilles" on it and the graves of the family hounds are still there....protected with covers, but we took them of (this IS allowed) to take some piccies!

Here are a few shots....

All lined up and ready to go to the woods for some fun and the competition

We had a bl00dy fab weekend. The porta loos were booked by the Landy club as it's a MASSIVE event that's held there each year...BUT...

The hotel has this HUGE field with toilets, showers, a swimming pool, a private bar, hardstanding for bikes, allows BBQ's, own beer etc and rallies have the place to themselves....all for a really good price, so I've suggested it to Hovis for AR10 if it's going to be in Wales and he's organising it!

Mine went carp, not at all to plan.

Friday - Go to Soho - Negative, went to Newcastle for work got back at 1.45am.
Saturday - Recovered and was out v.early for brekkie then took mates to football, then crashed out because was so tired.
Sunday - Worked then over to friends to prepare for evening in town, what I didn't prepare for was a fractured metatarsal and staying at the casino until 5am.
Monday - Recovered, went to get something to eat and then headed to hospital to confirm bone fracture.

Weekend rating 6/10. No planned motorcycle work went ahead at all...

You poor thing.....is the fracture going to stop you riding for a while?

Re: How was your Bank Holiday weekend???
 

Haven't rode for 3 months properly anyway cos of gammy knee.

Stopped my great comeback on the football pitch, stopped my gym regime for a while.

Rode 120 miles, mostly escorting a mate on the shakedown ride of his trike.

Got to Derby, pitched my tent, got dressed up (same outfit as AR08 but minus the hat), went and had beer and food, hit a few people with rubber swords...

Saturday found myself volunteering to take part in a ritual to save the world, more food, more beer, more hitting people with rubber swords.

Sunday, Saved the World, more beer, more rubber sword action.

Monday, rode home.

Friday - went into Manchester for shopping / afternoon drinking session with a mate. Afternoon drinking soon became evening drinking, swiftly followed by night-time drinking, and finally ending up at early-morning drinking followed by unconsciousness.

Saturday, went round to a friend's house for a BBQ which was abandoned in favour of an afternoon drinking session because the BBQ hadn't been cleaned since last year! :sick: Afternoon drinking soon became evening drinking... you get the idea! :lol:

Sunday, spent the day virtually comatose with the mother of all hangovers & watched the MotoGP.

Monday - worked :( but at least it was double pay...

Mine and Matts was brilliant, we went down to the New Forest (lyndhurst) and then went exploring. Hired some bicycles and cycled around for about 15 miles and stopped off at a few points. Also managed to go to the Beaulieu motor museum - Was a truly relaxing weekend and highly recommended :smt003

Re: How was your Bank Holiday weekend???
 

Sounds fab....Dan and me were at Beaulieu earlier this year.....in awful weather as they have a big land rover parts sale and car parts sale there, but as we were helping out, we didn't get to go to the museum :-(

glad you had a good time :-)
