Since pubs and camp sites have started to open (with restrictions) We organised a weekend DR rally in the back field at our usual local venue, the "Cross Keys Inn" (Viv) on Mannington Heath near Wimborne in Dorset. Just for a few of us locals and some of the NOBS. Some guys and girls just turned up for one day or both without camping, so about 15-18 people each day.
The first half of Saturdays run to old WW2 airfields in the New Forest was great, but the second half was marred by heavy rain. We met up with Airfield historian and WLA owner Phil Smith who showed us artifacts and gave as a short talk about some of the airfields.
The Sunday run was mostly warm sunny weather with a run through quiet Dorset countryside and stops at Compton Abbas (working) airfield and the memorial side of Tarrant Rushton (Horsa Glider) Airfield where these pictures where taken by Pete Morgan.
Meeting up with everyone after so long was just great! And the breakfast and evening meals from Viv were fabulous....Although expect Viv to tell you off for leaving anything or using your mobile phone in the pub!! Ron:relaxed: :+1:
