If you’ve not been before then you’ll most likely enjoy it.

If you have, then whilst you’ll have seen it grow exponentially since the first one post Covid - you’ll also have seen it deteriorate.

It’s now all about the £ not the people.

4 times the size with the same infrastructure.

We’re attending 3 others through the year for the same amount of money as ABR.

Armchair. Overland. Several others smaller, still dedicated to their original ethos.

Totally agree. Such a shame we got asked what ABR actually stands for by a couple of d*unk teenagers at the last one. And the amount of poor dogs getting dragged around in the sun and heat is really upsetting.

I've not been before but bought a ticket quite cheaply at a charity auction so have added a Thursday ticket to it to extend the weekend. I'm quite keen to make the most of it and have been watching quite a few videos to see what is on offer. Test rides on a few bikes, off road training, paddle boarding and bushcraft training are top of my list. Since these are all included I want to get my moneys worth. I'm quite looking forward to it. I have lots of other rallies in my calendar, first 3 weeks from now, including one in Denmark and the PIL of course. Looking forward to a good year on the bike.

I’m going for the first time this year. Music line up looks good and lots to do so hopefully it will be great weekend. Not to bothered if it’s not as good as it used to be regarding old school adventure riding festivals as I just want a fun filled weekend. Phone signal sounds abysmal so I doubt “who’s near” function will be of much use.

Last year we had a coffee meet up on the Thursday late afternoon. It would be nice to do something like that again.

There's no reason why it can't be Friday this year. Or any day

Is there any interest in a Fab social meet?

Everyone……. If you are organising anything don’t now. The phone reception is absolute garbage, it’s dire, if you manage to get anything at all. So will be nigh on impossible to make contact whilst there.

Hope that helps.

Yes absolutely, you might be lucky on Super Thursday to get a message through. After that, it's 17k people in a big field looking for the same mobile signal.

Although a friend did suggest bringing a star link! He could be a good friend to have
