After picking up some of the lads at The Yacht pub on the way up the Wirral we made 13 scooters in total, which was a pretty good show. The weather gods were kind to us today and it got brighter and brighter as we we went up the wirral and when we arrived at The Fort the sun was shining, the tide was in and there was a fresh smell of ozone off the sea. However there weren't many scooters when we arrived, but by 1pm that had changed and the whole parking area was soon full of scooters from all over the north west.

Well done to John for winning best vintage Lambretta in the custom show with his lovely TV 200, which was well deserved, hard luck to Darren, but at least you have had your TV featured in Scootering. It was nice to meet up with a few people I hadn't seen for a while, Karl on his Blues Brothers, and Eric Larkey, even Barry Turner was on two wheels this time. It was nice to meet Dave's mate from West Kirby again (sorry forgot your name), who turned up riding a Raleigh Runabout pedal start moped, which was something different and in lovely condition.

Anyway here are a series of photographs of the day taken by Dave, you can click on the slideshow for larger images if you want.
