Ferries put on some great entertainment for children on the way over to
Hollyhead.
A fuel & cigarette break on the way to Redbourn. The weather on the way
down was scorching!

The usual yearly arrival photo taken by the Dutch photographers.
Just after arrival, we prepare to be relieved of our subscription money.
Niall Gorman and myself meet up at last, after I mislaid his address &
telephone number in the rush for the ferry. The 1200 Goldwing belongs to Niall.
Saturdays trip to the Dome. The Goldwings you see here are just a small few
of the number of motorcycles that went on the trip.
The next day we rode the Goldwings into St. Albans. The far left shot shows the Cathedral
and the centre shot is of the market street. The last picture is the clock
tower, from which I took the other two photos. Mick Wilson got stuck walking up
the spiral steps and I had to shove him sideways to get him moving!
The band in this photo was playing an impromptu Jazz session in a shopping
mall. I took my time over breakfast and enjoyed the music.
More examples again this year of the fabulous work from Ultimate Airbrush,
who always seem to be inundated with work. There was a line of Goldwings
awaiting work and the owners of the wings were like expectant fathers, looking
in often to check progress. The telephone number for Ultimate Airbrush is in the background of the helmets photo.
Mick Wilson doing his yearly haggle for accessories with the staff on Colin
Appleyards stand.
A quick trip to Dunstable on the Goldwings and a rest in the town centre before the ladies
were parted with some cash by the busker selling cassettes.
Back on the treffen site, there was entertainment for the children too.
The Reading Electronics stand had a busy weekend.
This young lass was quite happy in the rig.
