Towards the end of day 3, the LSD riders were really pleased to meet up with some really great scooterists from The Woolybacks scooter club in Bsrnard Castle County Durham.
Blackie, Dave, Simon, & Ron. Blackie sorted us out with an emergency exhaust for one of our P ranges as well as presenting a donation for find a voice. Ron told us about his JoG to LE experience in 1960 in 25 hours on his GS150 - what a feat. Then we were treated to what can only be described as a surreal ride over Tan Hill pass to our quarters for the night at Tan Hill pub on the mqoor. This place puts Royston Vasey to shame. Its not the pub from american werewolf in london but it might as well be. We were also treated to a blinding set from dj marmite playing george formby and glenn miller back to back while the punters all had a skank. Classic scooterist sounds from the 40's
Gary made friends with some four legged individuals and Shaun and Karl sawe a dog walk through a wall. Debate still rages about the lambretta v vespa breakdown score with supposedly 14 vespa breakdowns to one lammy, but we also have to add autos now as they have started to fail as well. All good fun!
Welcome to 'The Long Scoot Down'. On Sat 18th June 2011, a band of brave, mad fools will be riding classic scooters-thats Vespa's and Lambrettas-1664 miles across GB to raise money for the charity, Find A Voice!! It will take around 11-12 days. Have a nosy at the pages in this website and see what a great thing this is!! Keen to make the Long Scoot Down a national event involving as many scooterists as is humanly possible.
