The third running of The Airship Run based at Cardington in Bedfordshire again proved to be a popular day out for over twenty riders. The event again attracted participants travelling and riding from far and wide including Buckinghamshire, Kent, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Suffolk, Sussex, Warwickshire and more local riders.
The course of twenty-four miles of very rideable terrain was through some of the more scenic parts of Bedfordshire and its smaller towns and villages. The weather was absolutely brilliant with riders enjoying a lunch break in the shaded gardens of The Crown at Henlow
Machinery-wise, the entry was just as varied. Reliability-wise, everyone made the return journey, at one stage the Mini-Motor looked to be drawing more power from its battery ignition than the engine itself but the determined rider completed the course, with the cylinder looking as hot as the day it was cast. The weather probably helped in the plug cooking department: Bown 2 - Raleigh Moped 1. The BSA C15 suffered a broken clutch cable.
Thanks to all the riders and helpers for their contribution to a good day out.
