The First European Cade Raid was attended by 25 people, 1 child & a dog riding pillion on a Yamaha.
Altogether there were 15 Cavalcades; 3 from the UK, 2 from Holland, 2 from Germany, 1 from Finland and 7 from Belgium. Belgium has the largest amount of Cavalcades of any of the European Countries.
The chosen campsite was at the end of dyke built to keep the sea from the inland lake. The site had good provision for camping as well as rooms and cabins for hire. Food was very good although not a lot of choose. But who cares when on holiday and there’s plenty of beer to drink.
We had a ride out on Saturday led by Leo Schneider ending up at a town called Sneer. Here we enjoyed a little light entertainment from some guys doing a commercial for the town. One dressed in an orange suit & the other 2 in traditional Dutch customs. The sun was out for a change and we all enjoyed a few drinks and a light snack. Then back to the campsite for the evening and after a meal we all gather to decide where to go in 2008. After a vote it was decided that it would be in Belgium Friday 4th to Monday 7th July 2008.
On the Sunday most people made their way home as they had work on the Monday and sadly by mid afternoon there were just us British left.
A great time was had by all & many new friends were made so make a note of the dates and join us next year in Belgium.
