Yep that's right. It's run by the pub this year and it's at a different venue - it's now in the paddock behind the pub. Got told this by the guys handing out the entry forms at The March Hare.

Advertised as the Hororata Bike Fest, but the badge said Hororata Hog Out. This was just the beginning. Going through the gates, 3 guys dealt with our admission, arm bands, details and payment… somehow the bro in lo thought the guy asked “you been here before”, of course he said “yeah”, in fact the guy asked “have you paid before” … ok so he scored free entry…

I was hating myself as I was having huge indecision issues about where to pitch the tent to avoid the winds. (I am good at, but hate indecision)
With me bro in law in tow, we hooked up with Red Turkey and his wife, sunk a few jugs of beer, and chomped on what was to become a whole cow worth of pies.
(After the pink tent thing where everyone either tripped over or took the piss out of Red Turkey's tent, he bought a new one for this one.... but cover'd his bike

)
The day was fine and warm, but as said breezy.
The urinal in the pub was a place where the disorganization was spoken about, and the strange rules about where and what you can drink here there and everywhere. The guy barefoot that had been drinking piss, and was now standing in someone else’s piss in the men’s... That was kinda wrong.

I think not as bigger crowd as at the old site down the road. But not to bad, plenty of ale’s, banter, band noise and jelly.

The wrestling was good, but none of the moves I have seen on the WWE!!!
Once that was all done, it was funny seeing the odd person come a cropper on the spilt jelly until a cordon was put in place.

More drinks and roaming the site for a look-see, talking to the odd face and such, seemed like a few people come in for the day for a drink in the pub…
Good to meet ya trump-lady and have a natter!
The band played and after dark, I think I remember some drizzle fallen, the wet t, (bugger missed the wet jock

) and later the exotic dancers… looked like they were from New Zealand to me???? Is that exotic???
More piss left me trying to dance… (I thought it best not to look)
Back at the tent about 2ish I was in for a power nap, and go again… well me power napped right through till the morn!!! Could not find coffee in the morning… apparently I was told there was someone at the pub boiling a jug for people as they wanted… something about not getting it together with the water boiling thingy.

Ok so it was not the best’est rally, but it wasn’t bad either… a good time was had.

NEXT-Mokihinui.
