* Alton Towers - May 18th/19th 2006 *

[Freefaller]

Got back an hour ago or so - the traffic in London wasn't too bad amazingly. Caughty up with Creature on the way down home - until he disappeared somewhere...

I'm properly exhausted! It's amazing how tiring having fun is! I'm going to have a power nap and then get myself together to meet the boys and girls in London later... Hardcore baby!

Some great stories/quotes/events/pics no doubt to follow soon - but as for now, I'm going to put my feet up and do sod all for a while.

Nice to see everyone again, and meet a few new people too - look forward to more of this!

Got back about 2ish to find the carbon monoxide detector going off. Removed the batteries so that's that solved.

I cruised the last 90 miles or so at 60mph to see if I could get all the way home with the remnants of a tank of petrol. Got within ten miles of home before the needle dropped below red and I had to roll into a petrol station. So close.

I had a great time and it was nice to meet a few new people. Going to go and check my camera now and see what evidence needs removing.

We're home !

We made a slight detour to visit the Bravissimo shop in Cambridge but I came away empty handed :/

We then got stuck on the M11 after a lorry took a fancy to the bottom of the embankment

We're just sitting at home sharing a bag of chips

Had a wonderful time and it was great to see some new faces ( Tinkerbell & Headrat ) who were both a very welcome addition to the meet crowd

Will post properly later on after a nap

Got home about 45 minutes ago - half dozed through most of the journey back and I'm now trying to decide between bed or bath

Was great to see everyone again - I really wish we could attend more big meets than we do.

Shame the Flibs didn't get to the S&M Tree - I was looking forward to piccys of it

Hope those going have a good time in London

 

[Admiral Huddy]

glad you all had a good time

Reporting back!

I got home about 12:10 probably should have post then
Went straight out again, just to meet someone, got back home and just collapsed to sleep . Had an excellent time meeting some familar faces and some new ones. A great time at AT since i'm a ride junky too.

You're all wonderful people, hope everyone going to London tonight has a good time too! I'll get back with silly wuotes and memories another time i'm not always the person for that, i seem to forget everything...

My sunburn has seems to have disappeared though

I dont meant to be a n00b but who were the 2 people I took to their place of stay last night? I am really sorry I was introduced to everyone in one go and forgot who most of you were.

 

[TinkerBell]

I got back home about 12:50, nice journey back with the scenery

Went to the Ivory Cafe for food - then went back to the B&B and ate cake and drank..

The other half was very, very drunk.

Managed to book ourselves into the Ivory Cafe Indian restaurant. Not bad going for a late booking of 20 people. Was a nice enough place, food was good and the service was also very quick. Think we'll book in again for the next meet

Thank you for introducing me to something more Indian than Korma

My family hate Indian food so i've never really got a chance to try any myself.

Well, I'm home (got home an hour ago but I'm a bit slow tonight). I expect I'm probably the last one (those that went home before going on to the London meet don't count ).

i was most likely wearing the hat!

I was almost convinced the hat was welded to your head.

Anyway, nice to meet three new (to me) people, and of course all the regulars.

Memories to follow when I'm awake (tomorrow). Will get the server sorted for photos ASAP (may take a few days).
