ABR Festival 2025

This was a long weekend in glorious weather at Ragley Hall for the Adventure Bike Rider Festival. Our team consisted of Doug, Peter, Martin, Sam and myself and we were all camping. I was trying out the idea of “van camping” with a camp bed and sleeping bag in the back of my van, whereas Dougie had the luxury of a full size single bed complete with mattress inside his much bigger van. Everyone else was in tents.

This is a video summary from the event…

And here follows a number of photos with captions…

This was our base camp for the weekend.

There are more luxurious and expensive camping options – these are the Glamping Tents.
