Cheers Paul. I was booked on the 6pm ferry for allowing for some unscheduled stops but made it for the 2pm sailing,
After 720 miles in two days my last 130 miles home from Dover seems short :D

I think that there were 8 people that woz robbed and the whip round was for everyone. It was a superb gesture by the organisers who obviously felt bad about it happening but it wasn't their fault. It wouldn't have helped if we had locked the door as all it did was make the door a little harder to open, so the blame should be with the hotel if anywhere. Make plans for next year when it is likely to be even better when hosted by Karol and Pavol in Slovakia. Just have to build that '27 now.

Funny enough the door opened up very easy when it was locked, but did then make a little noise, who knows what might have happened had we tackled them. Staying fast asleep was probably best for our safety,,, who knows!!

Tell you what,,, we were in hut 13 :D

I'm looking forward to all the participants, if someone comes from Australia or New Zealand, I'll be happy to arrange a suitable motorcycle for them. All you have to do is fly in. :D :D Roger, your bike is legendary. Together you manage to travel huge distances. Don't look for 1927, you have a good machine.

Yes He assumed you knew what a W/NG was. Many rallies I went on people took so casual a glance at my W/NG they thought it was a BSA M 20.. Nothing's sacred. Nev
