Well, what a fabulous day that was at the Ace Cafe Overland day. Sunshine, relatively warm and the biggest crowd I've seen at the event. The staff at the Ace Cafe did us all proud! Thanks to Mark and Linda and to Vasilis.
14 exhibitors and a raft of travel scribes including Zoe Cano, Graham Field, Chris Scott, Austin Vince, Elspeth Beard and yours truly of course
It was like a huge family of overlanding enthusiasts had got together. Yep, family! And I spent the whole day chatting. Fantastic. So many friends. Brilliant! And so many very overlanding bikes there to look at - the full range - C90s right eh way up to the big boys.
High spots of the day, Rob Archibald and his girlfriend Lucy setting off around the world - 2 up on their 125cc, and Daren Carter setting off around the world on his old mate - his GS. I wish I could bottle the feeling they were having as their big rides started. Wonderful.
We headed west with huge smiles on our faces. Thanks to everyone who stopped off to say hello and have a natter. Cheers!
For a really good taste of the day have a look at this video from Iain Harper
