Arrived early on Friday and was told we were the first to arrive (again)
Sheps tipi was already in attendance, as Obletone set up his contraption.......
We set up our base for the weekend and headed off in search of doughnuts.....
We then spent a relaxed Friday afternoon walking round the site meeting tossers and consuming Magners on ice.....
Elvis was in the building for his evening show.... (it was good, although, I can't help feeling he sounded more like The King last year)
We woke up Sat morning and went for a stroll around the site.....
Had a good look at Sheps new steed.....
and Wreford Miles
Saw Captain GSA's old X-challenge, now owned by Pinkytiff..
Race to Dakar colours.....
Got a great shot of Dave (Pinkytiff) as he rode off for the offroad ride out...
Met up with Proff for a chat...
There were other pics of Proff in other NWS poses but Erika wants these only for her private viewing.....
We then decided to head off in search of a pub for lunch.....
Once back we decided it was time to chill before the evening festivities took place.....
After our R&R session we headed over to the dirtiest bike comp where I had the honor of meeting Mr and Mrs Jones (Motorheads parents). It was good to have a chat with them and get some understanding of actually what happenned on the day back in March. It was Ben that brought me to my first Hograost last year and I really miss that guy......
More to follow later.....
