We weren't able to make Kendal this year, and after the mayhem of last year, weren't that bothered either.

Anyone go? Any better? I'm hoping Lee and Rob did a much better job.

We went last year and apart from Martyn Ashton and Lee Craigie, it put me off going this year!

It was a pretty good show this year Martyn Ashton and Racheal Atherton plus Matt Jones who was a top lad
Some great films loved the GR5 bike packing film with the Trippin boys

I enjoyed last night. Rob didn't really get involved until the last section, Lee is great at interviewing. Seats weren't very comfy though!

Sounds like Lee was a good as hoped. Martyn was good last year so that doesn't suprise he was back. Excellent news. Might consider a return in due course (diary didn't allow this year regardless).

It was a really good night, they've learned a lot from last year's shambles.

Rob and Lee both did a good job of keeping it on track and extracting interesting stuff from the guests.

Good mix of content, and only a couple of duff guests (I'm not churlish enough to name names).

Shame it took them this long to get rid of Ed Oxley.

Shame Ed Oxley still decided to turn up get wasted and shout abuse at those on stage in his place. Confirms his status as a complete t**t

Really? Oh dear.

Anyone get anything nice in the raffle?

I wouldn't have said no to that yellow Tallboy frame.
