It was that time of year again to pile in the van and head  down to Brittany for the Flexifoil meet with Mellow distribution. Dave and I jumped into the back of Will Mckean’s van and took the overnight ferry over to St Malo from Portsmouth. That was a harsh night! We were no way paying for cabins though.

After a rather long noisy night we arrived into St Malo which is about 2 hours drive from Quiberon ( if you don’t take a MASSIVE detour … ). We arrived to sunshine and a couple of guys already out riding. In no time at all everyone was out enjoying the lagoon lapping against our tent door at the campsite.

I hadn’t flown my 12.5 ion in 6 months so I was not overly keen to take the big monster out, however I forgot how much fun it is fully powered up!

A few days later and the Flexi RVs had turned up with a bunch of the Belgian and Dutch lot.

After that day we were slightly unlucky with the wind and weather .. the rain settled in and we had a few days chilling out, eating far too much amazing french food! It was great to catch up with everyone seeing what they’d been up to since the last meet in 2009. We got a sneaky peak at what new stuff would be coming out in the next few months to come, however didn’t manage to get out on the new ions on the water which was a shame!

Quiberon is always such a good trip as everyone is there to take a break and relax, the spot offers something for everyone. The campsite is on a peninsula sticking out into a butter flat lagoon, the campsite has heaps of open space for the buggiers to play on and the beach is only 5 mins away for some waves!

A big thank you to Pete at Mellow Distribution for sorting out another great week down in Brittany.
