Well folks this is the last rally of the year most of the Yorkies turned up for the last one some came in groups some on their own. The weather had been kind to us on the ride down to the rally once we got there we looked for our spot and pitched up our tents and then to catch up old times and the past rallies the alcohol started flowing and getting into the rally mood as the time went by it was time to get change for tonight events with a disco and a band called Bad Dogs and all the booze you can drink provided you paid for it then dance the night away or till you drop or too tired to carry on and if you was hungry at the end of the night there was a burger van and 24hr tea room.

The last morning of the rally it was up, breakfast, when do you start to take your tent down I know after another cup of tea/coffee then start taking your tent down. The weather was great for the ride home, we all bid our farewells and set off for home. I must say I have enjoyed all the rallys throughout the year and I hope you yourselves have had a great time - until next year!

Marie and Steve
