Went last year and it was fantastic, really would recommend this to anyone.
Can't make it this year as I'm off to the Alps next Friday to see what damage I can do to myself on me bike ;D

BUGGER IT!!!
Every year I say to myself that I'm going to go to Cowes and take in somepartying sailing, and every year I end up working! It would appear this year is no exception to that general rule. :(
Have a few beers for me guys!

Oh well, next year :(
I would add that other than the cost of the ferry to get there and your beer vouchers, entry to the party in the yacht haven is free!

If I remember correctly, entry into the main area was only free before a certain time. Can't be sure or remember what the time was sorry.

Are you trying to upset me even more about the fact I'm missing this? :(
Next year indeed. Hopefully basking in the glory of Team NZ winning the America's Cup.

Doing alright mate, must say I missed it more than I thought I would this year. Think it was more than banter than the whole race!
Ended up doing the London to Brighton bike ride with Gazza, actually came right by the end of Handcross and then onto Ditchling Beacon, now that is a hill, but it was all for a good cause.
Will be there next year, more than likely catch up with Team Zarse at event in the near future!
Next time you plan on travelling up the A303 drop us a note I am sure we can meet up for a beer or two, better than stopping at the services!

Think we got about £350 -£400 in total between us, still trying to collect it.
Must say it was a good ride, I would like to do it again but the trouble is it seems to always clash with Le Mans, and I know what will win next year ;)
Sorry to have hi-jacked the thread Andy... but there again some things never change! I'll get back in me box now and keep quiet, just please don't tell the gimp :o
