The Dambusters Tour?

Could the short tour to the Dams and the crash site memorials be back on in 2021? With travel restrictions being relaxed for the double or even triple vaccinated it may be easier to go over. I only have a week off holiday before the end of the year. By then the fuel crisis might be over..... At least in Europe they have loads of it.   I'd have to check with Claire that I  can go.... 

Ride to the Wall - October 2nd 2021 - OUR TRIP CANCELLED

We have had to cancel our trip to the NMA again this year.   Not because of Covid-19 but due to sheep-like morons rushing out to fill their cars with petrol by panic buying. The same absolute shitheads did it with bread and toilet rolls before and now they have fucked the entire country up with their stupidity.

Ride to the Wall - October 2nd 2021

The ride is on.  Neill and I will set off on Friday afternoon for the ride up to the Ramada Hotel at Newport Pagnell, via Ireland so we can "bag" a photo there for the overland magazine's " Ride the World Competition "  I thought I had signed up for this but apparently I hadn't.  So I have now. A bit late to meet many of the challenges. More to follow.

Ride to the Wall 2021 - Still On

The government putting back the so called "Freedom Day" from June 21st to July 19th has affected many events. The RTTW is still only accessible to the first 4000 that booked when reservations opened at the end of April. We have a hotel booked for the Friday evening near Milton Keynes and it has a bar and restaurant as well. I need to book the day off as flexi-leave as it is outside the school holidays and my term-time only contract. By then I might be back working in the office for the last few months before I retire.

The Dambusters Tour - CANCELLED

 The End for 2021. Covid restrictions in travelling to EU countries mean that we will be unable to go this year.  

The Dambusters Tour 6

Today the UK government announced that the expected release from all Covid lockdowns on June 21st isn't going to happen. The new date is July 19th. Edging nearer and nearer to the end of the school year.  So it looks like our trip to Germany will be off. Cancelled.

The Dambusters Tour 5

The tour supposed to start in two months. The chances look to be fading. Today the Government didn't add any new countries to the green list and the Germans don't want us anyway. Unless there is a miracle this will be cancelled too.
