Sidecarland

Midland SCC Camping weekend

Will not bother you with the joys of the M5, other than, no accidents, but, it was at a complete stand still North bound on Friday afternoon. At least I learnt a lot of new roads going East side of Bristol, lots of them single track…

I was met on arrival by the Guard Geese.

Both Munros, but note the differing hood design.

Watsonian Sidecars teamed up with Barbour to produce this exclusive Royal Enfield Classic 500/Grand Prix outfit in 2012. Fashion photographer and film maker Nick Clements was instrumental in the design.

The current owner sourced a set of India model alloy wheels and replaced the rear spoke wheel as the spokes kept breaking. Plus now he can fit tubeless tyres.

The run out

Has Stephen spotted a 5p on the floor? I have just had a thought…. at todays prices if you purchased 5p of petrol would it evaporate before it reached the tank…….

We decided to go for a walk with Dave, Carolyn and Charlie, well Dave had splashed out 25p on a local walk sheet and needed to get his moneys worth. We ended up at the https://www.motherhuffcap.co.uk/ I thought it was better than the pub in Aston Cantlow. The local beer was https://puritybrewing.com/ and went well with the super size ploughman’s.

And here is the Pub sign.

This was in the carpark, so I have included it for the campervan section.

I am sure there is an engine under here somewhere!

Sunday morning and the weather was only fit for Swans and Ducks, basically a very damp pack up in the rain.

It was a good low key Jubilee weekend, the beer was cheep in the club at £2.95 a pint and the site shop did hot home made pasties which were very nice.
