MOD BSA M20 / M21 and Monarch?

Quintessential Long Itchington

the Force Ten Rally 2012

The first weekend of the New Year turn out to be quite barmy/mild weather. Quite a change after the rain, storms, high winds, gales of the last 3 weeks, so it was great news to have a invite from Steve of Sawley to attend the FORCE TEN RALLY with the www.mayflowermcc.co.uk  also a good opportunity for Steve to give his "New bit on the side" a good shake down with camping gear in the chair for ballast.

So it was we found ourselves at the "Green Man" Pub www.greenmaneastanglia.co.uk saturdays midday weather was excellent for a stroll.

First check out the "Ducks" on the village pond.

Then have pint of "The Duck on the Pond", find more water called canals and walk the towpath to the www.bluelias.com  

The last time Steve & Maureen visited the "Blue Lias" was in 1970 for the CLOVER RALLY

www.lpmcc.net/rallies/rally_clover.htm More refreshments was taken at this public house (see the web site for the Christmas decorations!)  More strolling was the order of the day to the http://geograph.org.uk/photo/2221853  however our THIRST was cruel so we call in at the "Two Boats", yes this strolling leaves you with dehydration!

On our return to http://www.longitchington.org.uk  the light was fading, however it had been quite a barmy weather day in Warwickshire in January.

The Pilgrim Travellers came on OTHER BMW Mystics, even Red Indians came, plus M.O.D. BSA M20/M21 and if it’s ORANGE it must be Force Ten Vango.  Michael.
