Bike Right 10 (BikeFrite)
29-31
October 2004, Wooler Youth Hostel, Wooler
Storms in the weeks before and with the railways out
of action, it was time for another Bikeright.
On a dark Friday night, the Brompton and I made our
weary way from Berwick-upon-Tweed to Wooler.
Slide shows were already in progress as Ken worked his way through the
best party of 3000 slides. As the night
wore on, Seamus did the honourable thing and developed the signs of concussion
that should rightfully have belonged to Paul Stobbs, but then that’s alcohol
for you. Saturday’s ride took us over
the misty moors to Belford for morning coffee and then the rides split. I headed along the coast to find a crazy
golf course, while others partook of artist’s studios. More slides entertained us on Saturday
night, as the debate ranged as to whether the clocks going back meant more
cycling, slides, or drinking. Sunday
was the traditional jaunt to Kirk Yetholm for lunch and quizzes. I headed back to B-u-T for the bus journey
home. See you all next year !
