    AKA - The Most Northerly Rally in Britain
    A midsummer celebration.

    Summery
    =======

    It was in Shetland, so not summery
    It was cloudy
    It was windy
    It doesn't go dark

    Scotland was nicer
    The ride through the Cairngorms, Trossachs and Borders is worth it.

    The rally
    =========
    It was in a field
    There were no sound restrictions
    People drank a lot, and I *mean* a lot.
    25 beer tokens were included in the price, and you could choose the
    container.
    Food was good (1 hot free meal a day)
    There was a lot of beer
    The bands were good
    Did I mention the amount of beer being drunk ?

    The 1st beer game lasted about 2 hours, rows of people drinking from glass
    wellingtons. Only 1 rule "You puke, you are out".
    Except the last 5 would not puke. So they had to play russian roulette to
    get to 1.

    The music stopped at 04:30.
    People were still drinking
    Breakfast started at 08:00
    People were still drinking.
    It was the same people.

    Worth going ? To say "Been there, done that, go the Tshirt" - yes.
    If you are a deaf, insomiac, alcholic - yes.

    Right, off to find warmer rallies.

  3. Wotcha.
    Last Simmer Dim I did was back in 1987 - and from what you say, it ain't
    changed much.

    Even in my drinking days that sounds completely awful.

    and no more wine until 05:30[1].

    [1] the correct drink to have with breakfast being, of course, cider.

    Naturally. Especially if breakfast is curry.

    I've never wanted to drink *that* much or over such a prolonged period.

    Shetlands.... like Orkney but worse.

    I doubt you could match the Shetland lot

    Sorry, did I forget to mention that curry pies and pizza were available at
    the local shop, along with the morning guiness six pack?

    I've just had a week of extreme abstinence to help get the sugar under
    control. 1000kCal a day. Completely fat and wheat free. Roll on Friday!
