Bournemouth HELL TOUR

August Bank Holiday weekend. Sunday. Bournemouth area. First stop King's Park, followed by mellow session at Slade's Farm. Jam, Tim, Wes and I took a trip to Bournemouth over the Bank Holiday weekend. We met up with the Bris-Trowbz connection down at Kings Park. Bob, Dave, Wayne-ur and son Jack and Habgood - so you know there was a good bit of session banter and shouting going down. I can only imagine we missed the car-eoke on the way back - we had Buffalo Tom on - so we were sorted! King's Park was good for a lark - we had a rad old session on the steep bank thing. Then we were rained off for a bit, so we retired to the café for ice-creams, cups of tea and Dave's Malt Loaf. After a quick reprise at Kings, we scooted to Slades Farm - which is a lovely 70s relic. All wobbly bowls and rough concrete. Bob was gnarling the beanplants and "Bobby Jars", Dave was floating fs ollies and long manuals and me and Wes had a bit of a comp-off to see who could bluntlside or nosebluntslide first. Wes owes me a can of coke - but I took the easier trick! Jam drove the car with under-handle neons...





Wes and Tim bearded it in the back seat...





The sat-nav came in handy. Turn left...





Overview of Slades Farm. Bob about to bust a Bobby Jar, no doubt...





Wes - only bail of the day. Everything else was bolts. First go. And switch.





Oh - and guess what - after a drizzly day, the sun came out all guns blazin' on the way home. Oh well, we got a good skate in, in between the showers!





Look out for the Youtube / MPORA edit, coming soon! If you wanna see some much better pics you wanna check out the Ward-a-Mercy blog or be friends with Tim on Facebook!
