Whilst we're in the early stages of this, a few peeps off forum, have expressed concerns about why the fook we're planning a ride/trip on a Bank Holiday weekend when we have a choice and rightly so now the bleeding obvious has been pointed out to me.
The dates of last years Budgie run was dictated by the time Budgie was available to meet up with us, so no choice. Booking accommodation in late December, early January ( I think) was, for want of a better word, a fekkin nightmare. Yes, yes, I know it wasn't helped by a pair of complete and utter brainless fekkwits turning up at the White Horse Inn proclaiming to staff that their room had been booked by Mister T. Fekking Murphy and why wasn't it written down. ( I STILL cannot believe that they did that...it defies belief that two grown men can do such a thing
). But I digress, yea, booking due to it being Bank Holiday WAS difficult and ended up with peeps scattered, not too far away I know, around the village and by some ducking and diving we just managed to get it together.
So, weekends before or after Bank Holiday would be far better, for accommodation booking AND for better riding with less traffic about.
Last year we did Friday and Saturday night stays at the Pub. Just nicely weighted for me anyrode. Nice ride down Friday, chill, eat and drink and talk proper bollox, followed by a decent ride Sat and a good Saturday night taking the piss out of the way Simmo talks. Sunday a nice lazy start after a good brekky and make what you want of it with riding back, unless ya a fekkin wimp and "gotta be back for x o'clock, tea's at 5.30/I've promised to take her out at 6/ blah blah" or ya in deep shite.
Can't wait me.
