Well its that time of the year again
The fourth annual Zombie fest , a collection of old farts that should know better, meeting at a Campsite in Lancing in Sussex for another long weekend of Trikes , ( with a total age in excess of 300 years )
The weekend consisted of :-
Riding , discussing projects and of course good food and fine wine ( and spirits )
Hilary came down from Bolton and Danny came down from Essex with the other 3 of us being relative local .
What could go wrong -
My mother got admitted to hospital on the friday night , luckily her neighbour went to the hospital and stayed with her until she was admitted ( she is back home now )
Saturday was windy with a stinging rain hitting us in the face when we triked over to Goring.
Rusty the Rapion £750,000 , 80 ton digger was still stuck in the sand ( almost 3 months ) on the sea bed and it was still an attraction on the sea front ( it was pulled from the seabed yesterday by a 300 ton rescue raft /barge to go to Southampton ) note .( photos show its rescue yesterday and Kite surfers last Saturday )
Sunday we had a short ride out to Fort Shoreham by the harbour where Danny showed us how to capsize his trike , followed by an easy afternoon on that final whole day and John went to bed early as he felt a bit unwell .
BUT at 22:30 he crawled out of his tent gasping he needed a Doctor , 3x9's later an ambulance drew up and after stabilising his asthmatic problem,then took him to the local hospital for a check up , discharged at 04:00 he rang me to collect him and eventually we all got back to sleep by 5 am .
Other photos just show that we were enjoying ourselves and the John designed hydraulic ram operated trike carrier in action . This attaches to the towbar and gentle raises to put the trike in position on the rear with the rams taking the load .
Hilary's pedal trike was the only non electric trike but we towed her several times when the wind was at its worst in the unprotected sea side part of the cycle track .
Would we do it again - of course we would, it was great fun andas good friends we club together when the going get tough .
and now the photos, that are worth a couple of hundred words from the Atomic Zombie site
Danny , John and another triker from Northampton are going mid July for a 2 week tour of Holland .
