Start of quotation Fantastic pub crawl around Ostend, and it appeared to be legal! Freezing weather for camping -10 degrees I think. One couple said it was too cold, and went home.

Couldn’t get the bike started it was so cold. No electric start. Eventually got it started (Triumph T160 behind the Honda in pic 2 above) Going into town, we came off on black ice. All okay, thankfully.

Went from one pub to the next. I’d forgotten it was for charity. Fantastic town Ostend... We used to go to the Beer Festival as well. Fantastic horsemeat as well, it had a sweet smell to it. We spent one night in a bar there... drank his whole stock of bottled beer and they stayed open till the last person left (I think) End of quotation
