A HUGE thanks to Chris and Syra for organising and entertaining us. This was a memorable RTT and I for one will be back - it was 31 years ago I was last over west on a bike!
There's been so much said in several threads but just to point out that Chris did it all during the week as a self employed person - all graft and no income!
Thanks again...............

Right, more photos. If anyone's really bored my whole collection are here...
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5
However here's a few (ok, quite a lot) of my favorites
Mark (Hartsideman) really likes his cake
Minty's taller than you think
The view from the top of Connor pass
Marquee Marks garage
I think Dandy and Stu need to do some explaining
Big Dave and Dad
Paddy900 and myself take a quick photo stop on the moon
Caption competition?
Devolution of the species (Catsbum's XTZ, my Mk1, Danceswithmopeds Mk2, Hutch's TRX and Big Dave's 900)
Catsbum, Hutch and myself stopped so many times to take photos on the road to Mols Gap that Marky Mark came back to look for us, but for Bondy, Tony and others, this is what the bits that weren't tarmac looked like
MarkyMark, TeDiuM+Syra, and Hutch in the Black Valley
the Eccles memorial photo
The Healey Pass
Big Dave is clearly impressed by Hutch's drinking skills
Tony, Dad (TeDiuM) and Peter Kelly on the Ring of Kerry
Hutch suffering from damp issues
Dapleb starts on the beer
Insert your own gag about 900 riders
Dappers is still going on the beer
Bondy may have had one or two by this point as well
How does Dapleb fit in that tent?
Calendar shoot on Connor Pass
Connor pass Western side
Connor pass Eastern side
The end of the road
Dave (Spongey) and Chris (TeDium) might be closet 900 riders
Tony's died and gone to heaven
Another caption competition?
Do we wake him or leave him on the ferry back to Rosslare?

there were several people in CArpe shirts when I arrived on the Saturday night but I guess most of them have higher hygene standards than Matlock and didn't wear them all week
2 of us managed German TDM forum T-shirts, and I think most of us now own at least one of the RTT shirts.

Bloody 900 tail-gunners

Looking for Wicky's bike?
Catsbum, Hutch and myself stopped so many times to take photos on the road to Mols Gap that Marky Mark came back to look for us, but for Bondy, Tony and others, this is what the bits that weren't tarmac looked like
I do remember some green stuff around the edges
