problems, (No threads on his mag flange for his flywheel cowl).

Michael Pontin aborted after stage 1 as he was camping all the way up and the adverse weather was proving too much at 63 years old !!

Great photos Craig and write up. Thanks to all the committee and everyone who took part. I have a feeling there will be a demand to do this again - but only when everyone has completely dried out

[jonashford]

Great fotos, and thnx for the final data on the completed journey and riders, shows just how far these little machines can be pushed for our enjoyment.

[Andy-DL]

Great pics and write up Craig, well done on organising and actually doing the
Event as well

Excellent photos and well done to all
Great trip

[Rich Oswald]

Fantastic Craig and to all who did the event, big, big respect. Great write up and summary of events, it's just a slight shame that a lot of the photo's are only showing half of the content on here and on other threads. Teething problem that may be rectified in time.

Very well done to you all.

Rich'

Well done to everyone I passed going South from Kelso as you all battled your way North!

They were truly awful conditions and I had to think that I was riding through the torrential rain and it was actually following you all!

Brilliant effort lads and lasses!
