Welcome to our Blog, I hope you enjoy it. We are Neil and Pat

Since the kids left home(recommended) we have tried to do as much travelling as we can. We have toured parts of Europe on a motorcycle and started motorhoming a couple of years ago and have never looked back.

In a few years we are hoping to do some major travelling around the world.

By the way , Neil’s the one with the beard.

Hoar Park Fishing Meet 2010

This weekend was particularly busy, we tried to combine two events into one.

We decided that we wanted to take part in the Annual motorcycle ( Ride To The Wall event ) to raise funds for the upkeep of "The National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire and attend a joint Facts , Fun and Roamers Rally at Hoar Park, Ansley Near Nuneaton.

This blog entry is about the rally and I will add an additional entry regarding the Ride To The Wall event.

We drove up the rally in horrendous rain and when we turned up the place was flooded. Alan, one of the organisers  said " What ever you do don't drive on the grass".  Guess what, I totally ignored his advice and promptly got stuck up to my axles in mud and had to be towed out.

Friday night was a good laugh , we all got together in a barn and had a quiz night that had endless drinking forfeits . Our Chris seemed to get stung the most and ended up drinking about 6 shots of a very dubious cocktail.

Can't tell you how the fishing went as we went out for the day on the bike but Chris enjoyed it and came second.

Saturday night was very social but Sunday was back to heavy rain so everyone left early

Good weekend  with some great friends.
