Is anyone going?  

Have you been before?  Is it worth the trip?

The weather for the weekend looks good  '<img'>

I’m probably going up there on Sunday (weather permitting)

I’ve been a couple of times and it’s worth it if your looking to buy clothing, biker bits, ect.. very cheep! Especially cheep at the tail end party (this week-end)

Gloves £5.00
Helmets £20.00
Wet’s £10.00 the list goes on.

There’s also stunt shows, bike shows, and a very funny moped race (You have to see it!'<img'> loads going on. I’d recommend it.

Have fun. Keep your eyes out for the police as you near the site!

Yes
Yes and
Yes...

but not necessarily in that order!

Nice weather would be an equally nice change.

I have been going for a few years now, (even when not looking for stuff) and to the May one for over a decade.
Need new boots, helmet parts and waterproofs - sure there will be bargains.
I'll be on 07748 113129 all weekend. Camping in the Ambivalence again.

Spill I'll give you a call when I get there.... would like to say hi.

Not too sure if I am going on Sat or Sun.  The weather looks lovely but am having a girly dilemma.

Do I ….

1. Take the car and risk burning up the Visa getting a load of kit that I need.

2. Go on the bike, enjoy the sunshine and then have to control the spending.

3. Go on the bike, enjoy the sunshine and then have to pack the bike up like a Sherpa and invest in luggage.

I think I need to do a poll or enlist some comrades

Go up Biker and spend loads (acutally if the deals are good save loads) and get someone else to bring it back and pick it up later. I have a £450 hien gericke jacket for £50 OK was from the early one last year and now need a new one due to wieght loss hehehe But stll wear it glad I did this morning and so warm and comfy.......

If Spills or someone else up there with a bit of knowledge then get them to help you out choosing best stuff if your not sure grab it and hold on till they get to you, but so worth it. I saved £350 just for a jacket.....

Also went to the one in Kent with Dread (such a sweetie) and got some boots for £30 well chuffed

Enjoy the weekend guys

If you go on Sat BB on the bike - then we can meet up somewhere and you can dump your gear in the Landy if you have too much for the bike.

I need a few items, so I'll be going ... not sure if it'll be Sat or Sun, but if anyone is organising a ride up, then I'll join in either day.

Looks as though the weather will hold out?!?!?

Oh bugger if we had seen this you could have come up with us - we are also in Cheshunt!

OK ride out to Silver Ball or High Beech asap then????????

Weather was lovely today too - we were in t-shirts - too hot for jackets.  Didn't buy huge amount - spent less than £100 but when we worked out savings was around £200!  YIKES!   And saw the kids too so extra bonus!

Well we had a good afternoon too, despite ariving at 4pm as Morgawr took his time getting to me ':oops' but at least we didnt have to pay to get in at that time!

Only ended up buying jewellery and t-shirts, as I couldnt find any Dianese clothing or boots to fit me (im a size 3 lol).  Will definately go back to the May one next year thou.

But Westie, we'll definately have to have a ride out soon, not been to High Beech in years!

No calls or texts. '<img'>
Got loads of stuff we didn't know we needed, but no helmet parts (got a couple of numbers to try, though)
SWMBO now has THREE waterproof jackets to go with her THREE helmets ':O'

'<img'>  Guilty.... we talked about ringing you and then forgot, sorry!  We got too excited!

We had a lovely little ride up - Me and Zine misbehaving when we thought dread wasn't looking '<img'>  

Then Zine was like an excited child bouncing off the walls  '<img'>
Dread filmed everything and fed my lust for shiny bolts, nuts and washers
While I nearly boiled over trying on wet weather gear and boots.

Another good day out

I expect Zine is still lost in London somewhere right now

You were dead right ... ended up over Highgate way, then Camden, then kings cross, finally made it to Victoria and then found my way home!!!   '<img'>

Bloody, bloody, bloody London crappy signage and roads *grrrr*  '<img'>

But I had a ball, esp. misbehaving *cheeky grin* & managed to pick up some items at a good price!

Off to shower now, with leathers still on *lol*

Thanks you two for the thrilling day out.
