"Zen & the art of cider" - Cheddar, Somerset. 22-24 August
 

After seeing so many old friends and making friends new at the fantastic Horizons meeting at Donington this year, I hope I can see you all again at a meeting down in Somerset. I can only make two more meetings this year due to work so get your arses to Cheddar and lets drink Cider bier

Hosted by the ever helpful Gab from Zen Overland, it's a really friendly get together. Fueled by fantastic local ciders, it's a total winner..

GM

wooooo hoooooo...

Unfortunately will only be able to make it down for Saturday evening , Not early enough to get the old Harley dirty on the trails, but not too late for me to get messy

..............and just where are the details of this meet? Ie location etc. Someone (Greenman....) has booked, How?.
Can someone point me in the right direction.bier

Its all on the website. You buy the ticket as you would any product. Your name will be at the gate. It's at the lovely Fern hill farm near Cheddar, Somerset.

sleepdog?
 

Sleepdog, is this the same fella riding a Tenere who saved my life a few years ago at Cropton only to have to do it again the following year at another rain sodden event? If so I have a pair of your Sealskin socks I will bring to the site. PS I have washed them!!


If you are not the same guy then ignore this post.


GM

Yep, that's me:thumbup1:

Got to look after each other at our age!

Just got back to biking after breaking BOTH my knees a year ago!doh

I know TED as well from the time we met at Dent and I 'fed' you!:rofl:

I fancy a ride South, perhaps meet up?

I'm back working again now after my enforced time off so a few beers with mates will do me nicelybier.

Keep in touch on this thread and I will confirm.

SteveD

Steve
Make sure you've clarified what the flow rate of your water bladder tap is before turning up. Ted really wants to know :-)

I'll have to check, now leave me alone to make plans:mchappy:

Looks like me and two others will be trundling over from darkest Hampshire.

ahhh Steve yes... Nice to hear from you.

Broke both your knees. What did you do that for ??? Rather silly idea.

I broke my knee a few years ago playing rough house Football so I know what a horrible thing it is. Both though... CRIKEY !!!


Could potentially be riding down but may also take the little Van. It's cheaper for me and Stan to share costs and that way we can glamp. :D

Hi Ted, pulled the tendons off the tops of my kneecaps! Not to be recommended!

I will certainly ride down and as most that know me I will also be glamping.............from what I carry on my bikebier

Steve

Ouch....

Well, looking forward to the catch up...

Glamping!!!
 

Yo Sleepdog, myself and Kathy were always amazed at the amount of "sundries" you carry in your panniers, from the wine glasses and barbecue to the tool that does everything. Looking forward to meeting up again, are you also going to Haggs Bank?


Hopefully see you at both mate.


PS I now carry as many sundries as you do, my washbag alone weighs more than Teds roll bag with tent and sleeping bag inside LOL.

Not sure about Haggs yet but will try to make irt. Have organised ticket now..................will see you there for the beer

Steve

Not long now for this meeting. The last one ever too.. Genuinely gutted ..

Last chance to experience this very unique and cracking meeting..

If anyone is up for a challenge and prepared to help me get my head around my Garmin Montana...

Loading maps and waypoints etc.

2nd montana I have had and still dont know how to load things on!

Im a bit of a speng when it comes to these things..

Ill have my laptop and gps with me, hopefully there will be wifi or something similar.
Any willing volunteers please post below/message me and im sure there can be some ciders coming your way too :)

Thanks

I've got a Montana. I'll help if I can.

Cool Ill look out for the guy with the dominator! :)

Anything I should download before let me know, cheers

Look out for a white kangoo van full of cider and guitars more like ha. You need map source on your laptop, the data cable and if you're putting the maps on a memory card, you need a card reader.

Apologies
 

Hi guys I cannot make this due to circumstances outside of my control. ( Some thieving scrotes burgled my girlfriends house and I am trying to right all the security problems we had).
Anyway I hope you all have a wonderful time and I hope to be at Haggs Bank in a few weeks time. It is mini meets that make the HUBB what it is and (nothing against the HUBB meets at Donnington and others of their size
before I get flamed, I have been to several and enjoyed them immensely)
and long may it continue.


A slightly subdued GM.......

If I bring all the stuff back, will you still come down!:innocent:

Sorry to hear that, more to drink for the rest. Get yourself organised and I'll see you at Haggs.

Steve.jeiger

My first time to this event and a brilliant time was had.

Shame that its going to be no more, although we can still persuade gabe hopefully!

Thanks to every one of the Zen family for a great weekend,
Thanks to Giles for leading the ride out on Saturday.

Great to catch up with faces and meet new friends.

Thanks to Gabe and all his family and helpers for running this fantastic event, hope to do it all again next year. If you need help next year p/m me:thumbup1:
