Reply for Howard Benson. I think the organisers were asking non registered bikes to stay away from the mereting point not from the event itself. As it happened there were far more than the expected 10,000 bikes and some estimates put it at three or four times that amount. The streets were lined with residents all along the route and this must have raised some exceptional funds for the charity but more importantly this was a non political show of respect for those serving and to honour those who have fallen.

I have just found out about this gathering. My son is in the army. We are upset at being told to stay away.

Do you know that the Afghan Heroes Run is now meeting at Hullavington Airfield instead of Leigh Delamare?

Andy,
I have recieved an e-mail this morning 12/02/10 to say that registration for the Wotton Basset run has now been closed at 10,333 bikes.
What a response.

Ok, The wife and I are booked up for the Wooton Basset run. When I last checked the figures were:

Total number of bikes registered: 9145

Total number of riders registered: 12620 (inc pillion)

Originally the organisers were expecting around 1000, they won’t know what hit them. It just goes to show how people feel about the plight of our boys out there.

I guess with numbers like that there’s no chance of any of us staying together or even finding each other at the airfield.

Should be a memorable day.

Hi Ashley, That’s a fab offer. But as I’m not organising the main event it might be better if you passed your offer through the main ‘Afghan Heroes’ website. I’ll certainly keep you in mind in case there is anything that comes up. There’s a few members of the ride out group who support differing charities so they might take you up on your offer. I support the NSPCC and do this with a collection on each ride out. Join us on the ride out on Sunday and we can have a chat. Cheers
