So as I have mentioned previously, I couldn’t make the full weekend but managed to get up on the Saturday to see some mates, eat some dead pig and have a shandy or two :beerjug: (I was driving)

Arrived to a glorious sunny day and a large and very comfy looking campsite :bounce1

We had a sarnie and a cup of tea from the on-site burger bar and went for a walk to see what was going down – apparently this old blokes float was not going down enough :D

Woody had turned up back at the ‘lake’ after he’d got away from a big one

I’m sure I heard him say ‘d’ya wanna hold me rod sonny?’ :rob

DSC08394.JPG



Then…, what was this? A ripple in the water and a glint in Neil’s eye

DSC08395.JPG



Yes! It was a…..fish I’d nearly got the frrying pan hot – when he let the blighter go – rules of the lake it seems

St Eptoe, GS wonderworker and fishing god shows off his bait. There was an organic version available – but he didn’t want no veggie, sandal wearing, grauniad reading fish biting his line thank you very much :rolleyes:

meanwhile back at the camp – the odd-couple get down to some serious drinking :ymca :beer: :ymca

Supplied from a natty bar in a landy – hope Bill’s got one of these in his Morocco vehicle

Some of the ford rideout crew turned up

Hard work, this relaxing is…. :beerjug:

DSC08410.JPG



Evening approaches and we get the call to retire to the barn for a bit of bull – little did we know this was not referring to the usual crap spouted by most GS riders

Lucy was first up –

….. and down :D

DSC08414.JPG


Jokers corner was established: :roll

DSC08422.JPG


Then our lad Suneet (aka Gappy) decides to have a go, yer right kid – here’s a pound see how long you can stay on for – fek me if it wasn’t 65 seconds and the best time yet :spitfire :spitfire

DSC08418.JPG



They all came to try to regain the lead

Bryn:

Whatton (Kev) appeared confident:

DSC08424.JPG


Yeah, right :jes

DSC08425.JPG



the dead pig looked … well,…. dead actually :hack

DSC08426.JPG



Oh look – another one. “Go Woody, go Woody, go Woody” nobody shouted

DSC08427.JPG


he had a very strange glazed look on his eyes

DSC08428.JPG


but also ended up on the mat

DSC08430.JPG




Then the fishing fuehrer arrived – to the relief of pond life everywhere

DSC08431.JPG


…..he had up until this point been stood with his back to the bull trying to put the other riders off

DSC08421.JPG


….he tried

DSC08434.JPG


…and tried

DSC08435.JPG


and finally lost his head , and failed

DSC08436.JPG




Spot the Bull competition: no not the one in the t-shirt

DSC08438.JPG


……er Ming, when we said ‘F*cking bull’ we didn’t mean…..

DSC08440.JPG



It seems someone told the ankle biter that a 68 second ride had been recorded.

£1 later:

DSC08441.JPG


yawn……

DSC08442.JPG

70 bloody seconds! (adult average was around 20)


I had a go, the bull span so fast the pic is blurred – (that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it thanks) – I fell off

DSC08445.JPG




Now, here arrived someone we knew would be a contender for staying on a very long time, - he lives in Wales you see and is well used to staying on woolly backed animals for a bumpy ride :D

DSC08447.JPG


the crowd gasped, within a few seconds he was struggling to stay on, was the hide not thick enough? Were there not enough bleating sounds?

DSC08448.JPG


Oh no – he’s off

DSC08449.JPG


On no, he isn’t

DSC08450.JPG


Then he did fall off :tosser

Sharon – having dealt with Matt, would she be able to tame THIS bull?

DSC08451.JPG


It seems not – a few second later

DSC08452.JPG


The Jamster arrives and someone shouts ‘Oy, Jamie, get yer finger out’

DSC08453.JPG



Meanwhile – back in the bull ring, this is easier than running the site

DSC08454.JPG


Ooops

DSC08457.JPG



Gappy is relieved to see that his record stands and get his reward – no not the woman! The t-shirt :D

DSC08458.JPG




the bull was removed – not before this bloke seemed to do a Rebecca Loos on it – AI anyone?

DSC08460.JPG



the dancing begins :hogroast

DSC08461.JPG


Woody spots the new dancer

DSC08463.JPG



who is shaking her stuff on the dancefloor. The lone bloke looks on….. :eyebrow

DSC08464.JPG



Some Arab Dog arrives

DSC08465.JPG


Unfortunately we had to drive back to London so had to leave just as things were hotting up on the dance floor.

Top day Bryn and all who assisted :thumb thanks very much for all the hard work.

:clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap
 
Great to see you again cnut :D Nice to meet the family mate :thumb
 
Whatton said:
Good write up Ken, nice to meet your mob :)

Yes I'll echo that, the warmth between the three of you was obvious :clap :)
 
Brilliant report pictures and captions, Dahoum, thanks for taking the time! :thumb

It was nice to see you again after Tuesday's Pink Way ride - and next year you will make the whole event, ok? :)
 
More Bull on the Saturday night




Mustang Sue


Ken looking pensive



Didn't have to wait very long though - His wife said he always gets tossed off that quick



Tim, who's used to hanging on to bucking spanish things



he might be a multi-millionaire and arrived in his yacht, but it didn't do BHT much good on the bull



Jason, who's used to hanging onto four legged bucking hairy animals while running around the Welsh valleys. And it showed in his technique.



Jamie brought his work with him



Just try and stop Loz from knocking out a song - complete with backing group



I knew him before he was famous



Here we go - Clives off on one


Dragging anyone within reach



He cleared the floor, and ignored all health & Safety rules with some of his moves



Can't see BroncoBilly in the background, all camoed up



No Jason, thats not Belly dancing



Loz couldn't keep up with Clive




Oblertone and Jamie get a stalker



Aidens pulled . A big ginger bird called Stella



Who had a certain womanly glow about her



But here's a real woman, don't know why she was speaking to fanum when i was around all night



Caught a couple of poachers, who'd been out in the fields badger watching :ymca



Think i stumbled upon a scene from the next Muppet movie



Thanks to everyone for a great weekend :thumb
 
It was great Dahoum, good to meet you, but all i could think on the night, that James Burton, was Watton's geordie love child and steppers old boy, I am not a stalker, but i could be, Pm me your address :D




I actually thought Archaeo was great, a nutter in a nice kind of way, but boy can she move on the dance floor :nenau
