Out of the frying pan
Hograost 20077, hmmm, a bit quiet at first …

CIMG0005.jpg


At first there were few …

CIMG0004.jpg


After wrestling with the wind to erect the awning, Chez Whatton opened for business …

CIMG0013-1.jpg


Soon to be joined by visitors from the other side of Offa’s Dyke …

CIMG0014-1.jpg


But by evening there were quite a few assembled …

CIMG0015.jpg


Dinner was served …

CIMG0018-1.jpg


Followed by sugary sweet things …

CIMG0021-1.jpg


Which soon had the children sugar-rushing …

A beautiful Saturday Morning and the riders prepared for the ride-outs

CIMG0030-1.jpg


Some had mucky designs on the day

CIMG0035-1.jpg


Pumpy popped down for the day on one of the rides and came by to say hi

CIMG0032-1.jpg


Vendors of innovations

CIMG0036-1.jpg


Saturday evening, the main event, one of the Andover two …
(I ate your father!)

CIMG0037-1.jpg


Tossers descend on the hapless beast

CIMG0039-1.jpg


Wizard is concerned it might all be eaten before he gets there

CIMG0051a.jpg


Which is a serious possibility as Shep tries to figure out of he can get the whole pig into a single bap.

CIMG0056.jpg


No … but you can get the whole bap into one pig

CIMG0057a.jpg


Not that Mutley and BTBR give a toss, ‘cos they’ve already got theirs

CIMG0053-1.jpg


Show us yer buns!

CIMG0064.jpg


Bakerman in charge

CIMG0058.jpg


Clive shows Maria his splinter (at least that’s what I think he said … “see there’s a small prick in my hand”)

CIMG0062-1.jpg


Drink problem Bill? … “So, what’s your point?”

CIMG0060-1.jpg


Whatever they ploy was it obviously didn’t fool Maria, so Clive tries his hand (the same one) wiv da yoof…

CIMG0065.jpg


Steptoes attempt at a smutty hand joke has clearly gone too far

CIMG0068.jpg


But there’s always one isn’t there?

CIMG0069.jpg


The last known photograph of Clive … perhaps sometime after we’d shared a smoke

CIMG0071.jpg


Swoon …

CIMG0073.jpg


Whatton and Dave

CIMG0080.jpg


I soooo looked forward to posting this …

CIMG0081.jpg


Bit of sit down for the old folk …

CIMG0090.jpg


Scott risks English beer (he also risks working in Basingstoke, so he’s clearly not to be messed with!)

CIMG0093-1.jpg


While the band played on

CIMG0109-1.jpg


Until Bakerman decided to put a stop to such merriment and have a waffle … erm … I mean raffle

CIMG0111-1.jpg


Obviously a winner, are you going to show us what’s in the box Bill?

CIMG0117-1.jpg


Fearing all out rebellion from the highly agitated on lookers

CIMG0118.jpg


Dancing is resumed

CIMG0120.jpg


Woody races in to wipe up …

CIMG0121.jpg


Don’t shoot!

CIMG0122-1.jpg


Bakerman gets all ‘rawhide’ and Fanum decides he must get into every picture

CIMG0131-1.jpg


Bloody hell he’s doing it again

CIMG0133-1.jpg


Woody’s obviously had enough of Bill’ attention seeking behaviour and gets stuck in

CIMG0135-1.jpg


“… and stay down!”

CIMG0136-1.jpg


David makes sure Mutley knows this sort of thing is just not acceptable in a social democracy

CIMG0141-1.jpg


While Woody receives a stern telling off from his niece. He tries to make out that’s it’s not actually him at all, by pretending to comb his missing hair

CIMG0142-1.jpg


Despite the requests for political correctness and the bollocking Woody got for it, Mrs Steptoe and Mrs Whatton decide they want to be in a picture too.

CIMG0145-1.jpg


Which quite made Bakermans night … erm … and Woody’s niece seems to have forgiven him

CIMG0146-1.jpg


Time for bed …

Great pictures that really give the feel of the event:beer: :thumb

Shep
 
You appear to be multi-talented John , your as good with your camera as you are with your keyboard:thumb2
 
You weren't within 30 feet of me all night.........You're worse than the bloody paparazzi :blast
 
Thanks for that, Bede. You get a real feel for the event from your pics. Looked like a top weekend :thumb2
 
Looks like it was a great event. Far better than the shitty weather we had on the way to Garmisch.
Think there is a tip there for next year!!
Hope the east Midlands event is just as good!!
 
Nice report John you've got a way with words :thumb

Mrs Steptoe too i thought that was someone else :augie ;)
 
Great shots and captions Bede.......If you don't object I may use your snap of me in my avatar.

Hope to see you when you get back the UK.
