One more up for a bit of madness (afterall getting up at 02:00am to go for a ride is mad :)): ) ........stepped in to make sure Smiler behaves :)) as Mr Smiler is still recovering from his op (perhaps I should refer to him as Mr Miserable at the moment?! :cry: )
S....I'll see ya at M5 J22 (Edithmead) at 03:00 :-)
Just the trip down for me....I'll stay with friends in St Just overnight as I'm down there and head home Monday ;-)

A suggestion.......as you can't get anywhere near actual Lands End now-a-days without paying an arm and a leg and the car parks are far from scenic how's-a-bout a half mile detour on our way into Penzanze to the beach car park just outside Marizion?....here:

....great spot to line the bikes up against the sea wall with St Michaels Mount in the background for some photos ;-)

He did offer but no MoT, not riding something uninsured or MoT'd, Also if it isn't on my bike what's the point? Hope everyone had fun. At least I had a good day out with "The Bike Experience" and a great ride home with Frag.

glad you made it back in time for non testicular removal mate.

a good turn out, despite the 'stupid time', i think we had 28 bikes in all.

roads going down were empty, it was great, the only thing on the road was a very long line of bikes all out for a play. badger got us past the locals in st awful and led us to the end of the world and back although when we got close to devon he did stop, turn around and head west crying out something about the air burning him ??????


anyway, by this time there were many cages, caravans, lorries, coaches, old people, people carriers - you get the idea out spoiling our fun so what was left of us headed into bude for a drink and then disperse.

came home the holsworthy route so was able to show itch some of devons better kept secret roads.

already got next years planned :wink: :wink:


thanks to everyone who turned up for turning up, everyone who junction marked and itch for being TEC all day.
