Always a good one if you can get to it. Apparently 20,000 +. Put this into Google maps, this is the centre of the event. 53.682962, -0.439070
It is Markus, it's very well attended too. Been on at least 5 of them. Sadly not this year, as I'm on my way back from Germany, and won't make it home in time.
Grew up just down the road from there and had a few friends that lived in Barton. My folks are still close by (Brigg) and my dad loves bikes, which was his main transportation to 'the Works' when I was young. Until an older gentleman "just didn't see him" at Castlethorpe Corner/ Arties Mill turn. Mum would not let him get another bike and we became a 2-car family with a Fiat 127!! I'll let him know about it and he'll probably stop by.
I haven't been for a few years since my wife got really ill. I'll try and get over there this year, its only about 50 miles or so from where I live so no excuses really. Always is a good night, even if it rains
Thanks mate, sadly she's not here anymore. If you believe in that kind of thing, perhaps she's chatting to Steve Wright as a new entrant?
Oh shit, Sorry about that. Well hopefully you have wonderful memories that you made together over the years, that will last with you forever.
