    Another year has gone and the annual mega-paraffin can event is almost upon us again, 3 wonderful days to look forward to at the East Lancs. The line-up has to be seen to be believed, congratulations to all the organisers for putting this together. Timetable link:-

    Weather will dictate the riding day, but at the moment probably Friday, cameras/boots/rucksack for the other two. Have a great time if you visit.

    A great weekend, with weather reminiscent of the gala 2 years ago. Probably best to forget last years...
