nice initiative towards the spotters aldo not cheep , but hey, it's for 4 day's ; thus some 8/9 € a day, and if you can get realy good places to shoot pics for that ... ;D
i won't be able to take advantage of this offer ; i can only go on sunday, but i think this is a good opportunity to attend to this event in a "comfortable" way, specialy if you are a "chopper"lover this is to be recommended ;D

, always the best items that are cancelled instead of the usual stuff we see everywhere

[Chrisse]

It's sad to see the Slovak Hind and Hip drop off, indeed. I'm comforted by that Irish Dauphin though, that's something rare too. They certainly seem to do their very best to present us with a nice programme under difficult circumstances.

[TC]

Eh,... the Slovakian Hip is not cancelled

[Chrisse]

Sorry, that's true, that one didn't cancel. Now I'm even more comforted
