Ride To The Wall 4th October 2014

On the 4th October 2014 we will see the seventh year of Ride to the Wall. The event is a unique and moving experience for many people. Originally founded in 2008 for the motorcycle community, it now sees people both young and old from the UK, Europe and further afield coming together in a moving emotional service to remember the names engraved on the walls of the Armed Forces Memorial, which is situated within the of the National Memorial Arboretum.

Sorry Beckers but it's going to have to be a ''NO'' from me

Would have loved to go on this but unfortunately , I'm under Doctors' orders so can't ride at the minute :cry:

Maybe next year though

Me too mate will see you there, will be on my 'blade with an orange True Heroes hoody on

 

Leaving Elk Mill Macy Ds Royton end of a627m at about 8am Saturday morn

 

I'm going from Ellesmere Port meeting a mate on Chester services we have to get there earlier as he never registered but I bet if it's raining he will be a no show anyway

 

If you go online and print of the registration form it will make it quicker and save him queueing
