Silchester Saunter, 10 October 2004
Bob Goodwin
The Thames Valley Section's Silchester Saunter had
another superb day out, roaming the Roman countryside in Hants.
Good turn out of good machines, around 35 in all. Including the
Colin King special, the "Rex Hake Swallow" - Rex engine, rotovator
handlebars, Atco exhaust, Royal Enfield footrests, New Hudson petrol
tank, all nicely screwed together and painted black. Ran well and
a credit to its owner. Another first time outer was Gilbert
Smith's Clark Scamp, revived by good engineering and innovation, also
ran well. I must thank the cake stop staff for their hospitality
and home cooking, not much more than crumbs left! Also others who
helped with my first rally, the arrow makers for the route, and
printers of the course directions. Finally, the good landlord and
staff. We may do another in 2005!
