Flying Gate Weekend, 2016

The 18th Flying Gate Weekend was held 2d to 4th Sept round about The Wrekin, Shropshire. Fifty-one participants were registered, most riding Flying Gates. Rides were organized for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Monday: Liz's workshop; Tuesday: Trevor's workshop.

The Saturday ride began under heavy skies on wet roads, and the weather got worse as the afternoon rode on.
