Well what a return to the VSOC fold, after missing almost two years of rallies I was back. To celebrate I brought the sun along with me.

Ah the joys of riding as a group to rallies, through country roads, while farmers toiled the earth either side. The site at Royston did not upset this rural idyll blending well as the campsite filled.

The rejects ended up with 22 party animals on site, it was Christos and Jemmas first rally but by looks of the smiles certainly wont be the last.

Surely there is no better way to spend an afternoon than in good company just chilling on the field watching folk smile as they ride in.

A plethora of stall catered for our every whim and with the sun shining brightly so the hats and sunglasses sold steadily.

Nearby the Cambridge folk festival gave woolly jumpered hippies the joys of men singing strange songs, here the leather clad masses had the joys of the Bald eagle disco and two of the best rally bands on the circuit Glam-r-us on the Friday and Camouflage on the Saturday, what a show they both put on.

Having enjoyed Friday a little too much Friday we missed the ride-outs but followed Paul’s Sat nav the 37 miles to a local pub (less than 14 miles from the site) who says technologies great eh?

Saturday afternoon also found us watching a free airshow from the nearby Duxford air museum, where they had a Falklands Celebration. Grumpy would just have celebrated if he could have got his kite to fly.

What surprised me most were the amount of trikes and trailers now being used, and the weird and wonderful variation of them.

Saturday saw a bit of rain but as most of us were dancing the night away it wasn’t noticed until you found the tent a little damp, ooops.

An enthusiastic ride home on the Sunday found me back in time for a roast and an afternoon nap.

What an absolutely cracking rally, well done to all in C10
