Brighton Breeze 6 October - SW London to Brighton Kombi Kruise

http://www.brightonbreeze.co.uk/

Just booked my tickets and cant wait. Last year was glorious sunshine so hope for some of the same this year

This can start getting expensive if you add up all the costs ie. camping at Epsom, the run and then the Brighton camping.

To actually take part in the The Breeze costs £32 per van and this includes a guaranteed space on Madeira Drive. You need to book before September 12th. Tickets can be bought on the day for £40 subject to availability.

I'll go for the run only as the start is 10 mins from me in Epsom, and Brighton under an hour away.

Sign up below if you're coming too and please book your tickets directly with The Brighton Breeze team.

Scooby cannot make it this year
Hope the weather matches last year for all those attending

We won't have Tallulah for this one - she'll be on her way back from Scotland - but we will look at other options and see what we can do.

Yep I'm booked. Tim I see what you mean re. price :-)

Same as last year I'll join the cruise on the M23 on Saturday morning and stay over Saturday night..

Scooby is currently trying to re-arrange some things so we can hopefully make it on the Saturday.

For those who have not been before or seen any pics of the event have a look at the link below:

Last year was FAB with blue sky and sun shine all day - hope the weather will be the same this year

Max is getting a pre-Breeze wax next week!

Will be coming along for the run as last year and will head down to Madeira Drive at some point on foot to say hello (left it too late to book online and Georgy is not up for close public viewing til her bruised nose is fixed) so see you all there!

Max and I will be in the line-up so come and find me or bell me.

I'm polishing up the family bicycles so that we don't 'let Max' down when we come to meet you boss!

Certainly will if we make it on Saturday

Weather is looking good for tomorrow - hope to see some of you down in Brighton

Don't even think about leaning those bikes on Max's paintwork. I'm breaking into a sweat just thinking about it!

I'll have the kettle on permanent boil tomorrow folks if you fancy a brew - just look for the Brazilian flag.

Coming right up. At the kitchen window please.

Anyone coming that is not travelling down the A23, avoid the A259 coast road into Brighton from Hove direction, couple of sets of road works.

It's p33ing down here right now. Feel sorry for any folks camping at Epsom. #soaking

And if we are to trust the weather reports it will still be raining in the morning when they all head off on the cruise.

... and Max is looking particularly shiny right now. What a stark contrast to the fabulous weather last year.

Don't panic, be loverly tomorrow..............................

Well that was a blast - great to see all those who came along and once the sun arrived, what an amazing day it was.

I was a little late joining the back of the queue in the muddy field that was the Hook Road Arena, but having been challenged by a purple Classic on the M25, Max took no prisoners and proceeded to blast past a huge chunk of the convoy! However this still left us with about an hour's cruise along Madeira Drive amongst the crowds, but Max revelled in this not only as folks kept pointing at his Daytime Running Lights but also with his smooth ecu-governed tickover, which you just don't get on a Classic.

I was joined by one half of Mickar for the trip. We parked up, raised the flag and then went off in search of a coffee. Soon later we were gassing with SJE, eating chips with Irishman and then cakes with Scooby where we all congregated at Max. I hardly took any pix but I know others have so I'll leave them to post.

The Kombis in attendance were getting a lot of looks and our club cards were flying off Max's windscreen. Good times.

Oh ok .... here's a couple of pix, just until Scooby gets here.




850 or so vehicles apparently.

Hey Guys
Another FAB Brighton Breeze - not as hot and sunny as last year - but great all the same.
It was good to meet up and chat with everyone.
Mid afternoon we heard vehicle number 1140 being entered in to the show.
Last year it was around 1300 vehicles and we expect this year would be similar overall.
Just going through all our pics of the day - just 248 of them!
Will hopefully be posting some soon.
Watch this space . . . (but do not hold your breath)

Brighton Breeze day
Left the house at 7.00am - parked up on the 'top road' at 8.45am.
Where is everyone? Not a camper in sight

We knew there would be no one this early
Having missed breakfast at home we went off for a full 'English' breakfast close to the entrance/pier
Here is the view out of the window as we ate

As the vehicles were now entering the show we finished our breakfast and went outside
The first lot of pics we shall be posting will be 'Brazi Bays at Brighton Breeze'
Think we 'caught' most Brazi Bays - either driving in or when parked - chatting to many
Here is 'chef' the first we spotted

Then came 'stephenjedward'

Then came 'beamish'

As they continued to flow - albeit slowly - here is Sunny1 (orange) in the thick of it

Not sure about membership of the Forum but here is 'Gus the Bus'

OK guys it is now 10.45am and we eventually see Max and TimV crawling along in the crowd!
No photo - sorry Tim we got caught up in chatting to you
But there are some here when you are parked - with no one home!


Wandered along the rows of vehicles again
Spotted this 2005 all white tin top
Bodywork was in great condition so we had to chat to the owner

They are the first owners - a nice couple from the Gatwick area
Kombi is normally garagedand it gets washed after every trip and put away for the winter
It certainly looked in FAB condition - did point them towards the Forum
Also at the show we met/spoke to 'Stephenjedward', 'andhoops', 'lynnandsteve', 'irishman', 'mickar' and 'TimV'
Here are the last three with us having a coffee and some 'exceedingly small cakes' by a well known supplier!

And from the other side of the tracks!

Our final pic for the moment . . .

Great Brazi Bays, Great Company and a Great Day - enjoyed it all
