Hands® goes to Northampton
Before we joined The Crüe® for HANDS002, we were busy crossing the border – a couple of Buckinghamshire fugitives, ditching the grid-system for some good ol’ fashioned Victorian terracotta brick and mortar. Here’s some ‘candid’ snaps I took while riding/trying to manually focus and set aperture.
We met Bill, Paul and Alex back on the severly Rain-Damaged® HANDS001. They braved the cold, rode the train 10 minutes to Milton Keynes – and ended up riding all the way back to N-town due to cancelled trains (Yes – the weather really was that bad.)
Given the vibes they brought on our maiden voyage (and being the mad bunch of bastards they are) we thought it was only fair that we return the gesture in their manor. I’d been wanting to ride in Northampton for a while and they really put on a spread for us – This was the inaugural Inter-county Foreign Exchange Programme. Yellow Bourbon Coffee Roasters, The Orangery at Delapre Abbey, and topping it all off at V&B’s in the town centre.
I really have to admit, Northampton and its surrounding area is sick. Maybe it’s just me but I think we should be entertaining the idea more that these guys are only just up the road. There’s going to be a couple more of these rides booked in extracurricularly so keep an eye out. Anyway, Love to NN’s Bill, Paul, Alex, Dale, Jason and Andy – and Hands® Resident Riders: Rich, Jamie and Tom.
