STOP PRESS

Finally the Olympic Committee have decided that we cannot use Dunsfold Park for drags in case they land an aeroplane full of sporting dignitaries on top of you. Personally we thought it might add to the fun but we were told 'NO!' and asked to stop ringing Dunsfold or we'd  be prosecuted for stalking  an airfield!

So the super brains trust of the Hayride ( well, in reality Jerry, Anna and the Detonators Car Club ) decided over a pie and chippy dinner, that they would give us an exciting New Hill Climb at a beautiful private forest track just ten minutes round the corner from the Hayride Site at Bisley !!!

had me letter about it today, i wouldn't mind having a go at that. me estate is a 66 but i don't have a crash helmet

Odiham's twin lane sprint/RWYB was pulled due to 'pics too.   >:(

Beautiful private forest track Hillclimb only 10 mins away????.......... trying to think where that could be.
Theres a small test track where golf carts used to be tested, maybe there?

Longcross?

Hadn't thought of that, guess it could be.

The place I'm thinking of is near Mytchett / Keogh barracks.

Be interesting to find out.

I'm going and taking something to thrash up the hill.. not sure yet what it will be..... Fester you can borrow my lid if you want?? or I have a nice old German dispatch riders helmet you can borrow for the weekend...

i know there is a sharp bend at the top of the hill at the track at longcross. there's also a bendy track by the golf course there.  they also do track days there

if it is at longcross i could go home for dinner as its about midway between where i live and bisley

Well folks, the Hayride is nearly upon us. Just one more day to go. Weather is looking hopeful so just keeping my fingers crossed that any rain we get, will be short and sweet.

I am looking forward to seeing some Mankies there. Quite a few Victory Wheelers will be there too.

I will try and take some photos but I am sure Renegade will have that pretty much covered.  8)
JJ  :)

:-)

Well I am here. Already seen Renegade, he was taking pictures as people arrived. No surprise there! Later Dave, Panthershaun and Shaun had met up and were out and about taking loads of photos.

Very hot here and when I arrived, my room had the central heating on. It must have been for that cold snap we had earlier this week . :D

Some fantastic vehicles and a great atmosphere as usual.  Got my mobility scooter with me so I have been able to whizz everywhere. Getting to see a lot more than usual which is great.

Just listening to a brill band. Great foot stompin' stuff.

Bye for now, JJ  :)

At the hill climb. Good selection of cars and bikes have entered.
Renegade and I are standing (well I am sitting on my scooter which now has a puncture!) in a 0precarious spot on the climb. There have been some close shaves which saw some spectators having to make a quick run to the portaloo to clean up. Dave captured a runaway morris brilliantly. You can here the screams on the video.


Two Mankies are taking part on bikes. Panthershaun on his Panther and Calvin on his Harley flat tracker.

As for me, I have got to be brought back up the track by the flatbed truck on hand for the hot rods!

Below a few photos. Not good quality but you get the picture.

JJ  :)

Can't see photo's they must be very poor quality, are they still in your handbag???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
 ;D ;D ;D :-* :-* :-*

i couldn't see any as well Rick. don't know about the hand bag  ::). they could be all blurred when the tyre went down on the scooter. JJ wasn't trying it out on the hill climb  ;) any way at least the weather is looking good for you all

Sorry, problems with data upload.

Since my previous post, Calvin won the bike class for the hill climb. Lovely big trophy.

I managed to mend my puncture, found a garage open in Frimly Green. Nice blokes.

As for my handbag, the only thing in there is Bloody Mary!

I will post them eventually but data signal is not allowing for files. Too slow.

Currently ensconced in the Pavillion, listening to some great bands. An American group called Giselle were fantastic. The girl lead singer's voice was awesome. Got the look too.

Night, JJ  8)

 ??? Poor Mary :'(

At the hill climb.
Calvin on his winning climb. Blimey, that was fast.
 ;D

At the hill climb. Guess who the hat belongs to:

 

At the hill climb. Unwise choice of spectator position? You never knew if the vehicles would make the bend. We were all ready to scatter. Many a time we got pelted with stones as they skidded round it. Also you can see how dry everything was on Saturday. Even spectators on the straight bits had problems.  ::)

Home now. Had a great time. I don't think you can beat this weekend. Why not find out yourself next year.

I will try and get my vehicle pics (better than these I hope) on this thread in the next couple of days. As for me now, get some sleep. I am cream crackered.

JJ  :)

accidently formatted a card that i hadn't taken the pictures from. got a freebie program to recover them, when its finished i'll get it to search for the mp4 files, it knows they're there. also had a faulty card so hoping the same program can recover those 51 files. a good weekend its just down the road from you mr monkey

I've no idea what you've just said -formatted? It's O.K, don't try to explain!  :P
Yeah, the Hayride's held at Bisley in Surrey, about 10 miles from home for me. No day tickets available though. I have to work on Fridays & Saturdays, which leaves Saturday evening & Sunday, until everyone packs up to go home by Sunday lunchtime. 50 quid a ticket I'm told? Way out of my price range for a day I'm afraid.

got to say Andy,for chaps of a certain age which an interest in the more traditional style of things its a hard one to beat. well worth a couple of day's leave from work... Lodges for rent at reasonable rates too.....
here are a couple of my pic's... well first one is of me and not taken by me!!! ::)

That's dales, who had the white volksrod there last year

Love the portrait shots Shaun.

100e gasser deadbeat

love it. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D 8)

Nicely shot YouTube video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZyJj7m5GWk

Ditto for me. Makes it look like you had a time machine Shaun.

JJ  :)

it was a different world at the bottom of the hill...... The couple were posing for a professional and I lent a hand moving barriers etc to help out so got to take a few myself  ;)

A multitude of pick-ups. Some with brilliant paintwork that you really had to see to appreciate
but many looking very rustic indeed. I do like the rustic look because you can just picture the
Waltons in them on the country roads of Virginia!

Hotrod Hayriders:

There were so many I could have taken loads as most people were dressed the part with the hairstyles and accessories as well - men, women and children.  You can see this in many background shots of other pics I and others have taken.

Very stylish

Strange appendage seen on many Hayriders - must be in the beer - that's why I stuck to Bloody Marys!

JJ :)

A variety of bikes. Loads there but these caught my eye:

The photo doesn't do justice to this bike with its copper metalwork
(http://i.imgur.com/vuiPl.jpg)

I fell in love with this bike.  I just think this knucklehead is gorgeous
(http://i.imgur.com/3TVef.jpg?1)

Calvin's bike - I know, already well photographed, but he did win the hill climb on it
 and it is for sale (and he is a fellow Manky :))

Home Comforts:

Lots of period caravans at this event and one field is dedicated to them.  Loads of tents too but
only one stood out for me.

Loved this tent.  Had to get the guy ropes in to prove it was one!

Many people turn up in "normal" cars and vans for many reasons, their car is old but not pre '66, it's off the road or they couldn't get the whole family in so you do spot them around the camp but on the showfield only pre '66 vehicles are allowed.  These are cars/vans spotted all over the place at Bisley:

Hope you have enjoyed the vehicles. 

JJ  ;D

Artwork (loosely defined!):

Some lovely work by one stall.  Their advert was painted on two welded and painted Austin A30/A35 bonnets

(http://i.imgur.com/jbRvu.jpg?1)

(http://i.imgur.com/Yh7Gq.jpg?1)

Scaled Model

(http://i.imgur.com/0ze2C.jpg)

Brilliant idea of artwork on scrap - costly though, about £650 a piece - headlights made into lamps too

(http://i.imgur.com/uezBf.jpg?1)

(http://i.imgur.com/UTpvZ.jpg?1)

(http://i.imgur.com/yECGZ.jpg?1)

A massive lamp - all the feathers (all single ones) were aluminium - lovely but £1200

(http://i.imgur.com/oaYqp.jpg?1)

Two items that caught my eye.  The rose was plasterwork on one of the many period buildings found at Bisley, the second was on my neighbour's very handsome Dodge

(http://i.imgur.com/9ggzv.jpg?1)

(http://i.imgur.com/t4JzW.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/ZegNw.jpg?1)

A Soap Box - art in their own right - here is quite a simple one but still plenty of work

(http://i.imgur.com/y4DFo.jpg)

And finally the artwork of the Wall of Death

Where on Earth did Shaun get that beard?!

its not a beard he put his head on the wrong way in the morning

I like the "Alchemist" too Dave, there's a certain something about it that is just right.
