On Sunday the 10th of November 2024 11 HOWLers met at their pre-arranged formation points of which there were 2. After the relevant ride commanders had briefed their troops, it was time for the convoys to mobilize. The riders sallied forth through the territories of Surrey, Sussex and into Hampshire to their rendezvous point on the Avenue De Caen in Southsea.
Once together the HOWLers carried on the short distance where marshals from the Royal British Legion Riders Association done a great job in assembling well over 1000 bikes of all varieties into a tight formation to rest in silence for the duration of the Remembrance Service at the Royal Navy Memorial a short distance across the grass of the Common.
The service delivered and a solemn thought had for those that gave everything so we can have what we have today the HOWLers sought a hot drink and food whilst they shared personal experiences of combat others shared their parents/grandparent’s history of armed service.
The mission wasn’t over the HOWLers joined one of their biking comrades Simon, rode around to the Falklands Memorial so Simon could lay a wreath to honour the remembrance of those he served with that had fallen. They had seen the names of those they were told about in the experiences shared earlier.
Bikes were neatly arranged by Karen for a great line up photo before mounting up and returning home.
HOWLers in attendance: Simon Butler, Karen Luck, Rob Crowley, Ian Gasson, Charles Deakin, Gary Clarke, Jon Stone, Jude Browne, Peter Le Monnier, Nicole Le Monnier and Dan Walton
