Hells Bells – It’s Spring Fever 2007

Leading UK AC/DC tribute band ‘Hells Bells’ were a fitting end to the first day of Spring Fever 2007 and the perfect way to unwind after travelling the length and breadth of the UK as many riders had to be there

We don't get much chance to check out the bands other than Friday night and in addition to the tribute to Angus & co. also  enjoyed 'The Mods'  who delivered a very authentic sounding tribute to the Small Faces a la Steve Marriott ... very cool to hear 'Tin Soldier' again complete with growling Hammond

The sun kept his hat on all weekend – contrary to all the ominous forecasts of rain which was just as well given Saturday’s parade route was dramatically increased this year from the usual 8 mile bimble into Weymouth to a stonking 30 mile round trip in blazing sunshine via Puddletown & Dorchester

An impressive array of Police outriders spearheaded an equally impressive army of 40+ New Forest road marshals to ensure the 400+ bikes didn’t get lost !

The awesome firework display in the evening shook the entire site and was accompanied by music to match

Sunday morning there was the usual choice of four organized scenic rideouts

(Sleep deprivation was beginning to take its toll by Sunday morning so the focus in some of the pix in the Ride 1 set are a bit iffy so if planning on sending a cheque for a print please call before mailing so I can take a look at the original image ... Suffice to say I had my shit  together by Ride 4 which I'm delighted to say all look absolutely STUNNING !)

All rides culminated at Lulworth Castle for refreshments and live entertainment from Jim Etherington and his band

Then it was all back to camp for the legendary New Forest fancy dress party where we we were joined as usual by dazzling celebs including Tom Hanks fresh from the set of  'Castaway' ,  Charlie Dimmock from 'Ground Farce' and
.
... 'Boing'  said Zebedee !

Following his phenomenal reception at last years Autumn Blitz rally the highlight of the party was once again  ‘Tom Jones’ accompanied this year by assorted felines (and hogsters) for a rousing rendition of ‘What’s new pussycat’

The planning and implementation by Les and the New Forest posse – honed over many years of experience shone like comet in the night sky and was testimony to the fact that the devil definitely does have all the best music
