Got up this morning, looked out the window and saw the rainbow over the road so decided we'd take a run out to meet up with my brother who is camping in Bideford, North Devon. Personally, I think he's off his rocker but he says it's his stress relief from his day job.

Got up to Bideford around mid day, the weather was a bit hit and miss once we left Cornwall but all in all it wasn't too bad.

He's camping at Ultimate Adventure Park near Atlantic Village. Some guys are roughing it in tents and some are in the wooden lodges.

Here's Willy with his winter wheels on. I got these off Dan @Mor61e earlier this year and I love them. Another forum bargain. The fronts stick out about 15mm outside the arches but I can live with that.

Here's me and Jill and my kid brother Ian.

Trying our kid's Harley for size


Headed for home around 4pm and got back around 5.30pm just in time to watch the football on tv.

All in all a good day as long as Utd beat City

Thanks Dave, they're off an Z4 E89. They have an ET29 offset so I knew the fronts might stick out a bit, but they aren't too bad

That's a monster of a bike Garry, I tip my hat for winter camping
 
Winter camping too cold for me even in the summer :p
Nice bike :)

Camping in a tent in December, nuts! And they'll be the size of peanuts. Bideford a nice place, but I prefer it in summer. Like the wheels, what diameter and width are they?
