Here is Paul (Babrat), his Camp Bastion cap and his ride ready for Wootton Bassett.
Well we made the effort and thankfully the weather was kind. Paul made an impressive 500 mile round trip and it was only 400 for me but it was worth every inch. The numbers were limited (they say 15,000 but no one checked my ticket so who knows) and there could have been many many more.
So off we went two by two orderly and respectful to show support for the Afghan Hero’s and the good people of Wootton Bassett. Along the way the roads were lined in the Wiltshire villages with people waving Union Jacks, the very young and very old together in a show of support for the Hero’s. And in that wonderful town of Wootton Bassett, the high street was packed and I wanted to thank each and every one of them but had to be content with the occasional had slap as we rode along.
No words or pictures can do it justice nor can my little 400 mile token of support but it was worth it just the same.
As ever Paul, your company was excellent mate – thanks!!
