Calstock bike festival

If you are stuck for something to do then this could be it, two pubs in village, one social club and a beer tent, usually only a fiver to get in, good band some mental bikes there, cool atmosphere, you don't have to be a biker to enjoy it, all the proceeds go to the community which does a lot of good stuff. You could probably get a train from Plymouth to Narnia as well.

Far out! One of the highlights of the year!

Another major event for the Independent Republic of Calstock.

There always were quite a few bikes in Calstock.Not as many as in Gunnislake though.

Bikers come from all over the country to this festival. As Iggy says, it's a great atmosphere, good people, damn fine music and a superb firework display on Saturday night to finish the show!!!!

(And I was told by the organiser that the sodding cannon will not be making an appearance this year - which means all the dogs of the village and those of a sensitive disposition can relax.0

Be there or be square.

We should fire Mally from the cannon.  

It's just a little ..... errr ..... damp out there at the moment. I think the Gruffnuts may have to wait. The party in The Boot may come first.

And either they've decided to use the cannon after all or that's some pretty dramatic thunder!

Calstock Bikers' Festival - the place to get smashed simply by breathing in the air around you.

My ears hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feck me didn't we have some rain yesterday, biggest thunderstorm I've seen in ages, must be some soggy tents around.

Leopallooza down in Bude (Bood).

I'm not there.

Other people are though.

Packing to catch the ferry to Spain and Portugal tomorrow off for 3weeks, may go and have a last couple of English beers down Calstock later.

Another night with a lot of grown-ups banging their heads against a wall. Bloody hurt last night.

I turned to my daughter at one point & said that about 70% of the people there were blokes. She immediately said about 70% of them were 45 at least.

I hope they play some jazz tonight.

There will be no Bike Festival next year.
