Shitefest 2015 5-7th June


Recommended Posts

Posted

I left for work this morning at 6:30 I have not long got home. I have had some medicinal whisky to get me off to sleep. Hopefully I can put in an appearance tomorrow afternoon. If not all the best, if I do hard luck.

I'm nearly ready to leave but am still waiting for the camera battery to charge!

 

Its now likely I'll be arriving in the early hours of the morning... If you've all gone to bed I'll do my best to part up without making too much noise!

Now that is a sensible thing to do, traffic should be light. Took me 9 friggin hours from South London due to the M40 mega problems earlier, although i did detour a bit heading west to Ludlow then up the A49, just to escape from the M-way congestion hotspots of the West Mids.

 

I'm now in my b&b downing a Poacher's Choice so should sleep well tonight, see you all again tomorrow!

He's swinging on the museums complementary motorbike tyre suspended from a tree branch.

Just got back, wasn't expecting so many people there, heading back down tomorrow, kipping at home as it was frigging BALTIC.

Wiper fixed, spandex and water in car. Just need to put wife,fuel and bike in, drop wife off to work then I'm on my way (again) hoping the dark clouds will eff off.

Well I'm on the road. An hour later than planned and totally in the wrong car due to a Sierra malfunction this morning.

Leg 1 was a lift to the A64 in Mrs M'coli's Kia Picanto, leg 2 was from the A64 to work in a colleague's Fiesta ST, leg 3 from work to Leeds train station in another colleague's Aldi A3.

 

Hopefully the train will provide the opportunity to sleep...

 

My beige shirt is packed and I'm looking forward to it!

As a change to the norm I am ahead of schedule, Wrexham achieved, just fuelling the car up. Llangollen 10 miles away, is anyone up yet?

 

I think I've just seen six-cylinder's Audi at the Travelodge.

Own personal TT on Wrexham by pass last might

 

Not as quick when I leave in 20 mins :lol:

I'm at Wrexham a&e... Mrs foad has severe toothache and only managed to get a couple of hours sleep. Hopefully get back to the museum soonish. Anyone got any decent painkillers?

Posted

Toothache is the worst pain a human can have really floors you, is it down to hundreds of miles in a tata or did you take the luxury option

I took the luxury option...

 

Aparrently there's a 2 hour wait to see someone... When was everyone planning on leaving the museum and heading to devils bridge?

Posted

Camping fail - forgot to pack sleeping bag.

Not enough clothes to keep even remotely warm hence midnight abort.

We're heading into Wrexham for painkillers then back to the museum. Shouldn't be too long.

I use paramol for deep down tooth issues. Boots sell it behind the counter

Posted

Superb morning! Huge turnout, had a right laugh and even (extremely slowly) managed to bike up the Horsehoe pass. The 214 was a bit of a bastard heading to the meet, but an Italian tune-up on the way home saw it absolutely flying along.

PHOTOS.

 

Those of us who can't be there but wish we were demand photos.

Fourthed! I would have loved to be at shitefest but couldn't make it as I'm in Greece. Next year's holiday will be arranged around shitefest dates! Don't be shy and let us see what fun you're having. I told the missus about shitefest and she says it sounds like a bunch of cavemen although I did explain that you don't actually kill the meat you eat with your bare hands, at least I don't think you do?

Legs 4 (train) and 5 (406 coupé) completed: leg 6 initiated. This may take some time...

I believe that the SVM do actually kill the square sausages to order.

I mentioned going to shitefest next year to Mrs Beard. She asked about the 'fishing gnome wizard with a wheel instead of legs'. I had no sensible answer to offerTBH.

 

'That is a Uniwobbler' being the best I could come up with.

Mrs Beard is currently thinking of giving shitefest 2016 a swerve.

I didn't take any pics at the museum but here's one of a Honda on a road near Lake Vyrnwy post-4715-0-62674100-1433599515_thumb.jpg

 

I'm currently in Dolgellau planning my route to the pub.

We had a good trip over to Devils Bridge and maintained a decent convoy too...
