As the afternoon wore on and more Tossers arrived the bar did steady business while tyres were kicked and acquaintances re-newed.

The excitment of the whole affair proved too much for James Burton who had a little accident. :eek:

Needless to say a good time was had by all, some staying up to all hours, while others headed off to bed in preparation for Saturdays runs, of those more later........

Saturday dawned bright and clear, more than can be said for the heads of some of the attendees. :rob

At the stop off for lunch Shapeshifter locked his helmet to the bike then found he had left the key at the hotel!

A local workman repairing the bridge which had been washed away in a flash flood came to the rescue however and we were soon on our way.

Back at the hotel we met up with the off road crew and those who had headed off to explore by themselves and enjoyed the view and sunshine.

The evening meal and charity raffle were most enjoyable, especially when it was discovered Tuned In had won the Hograost 2008 wrist band.
