MERSEA ISLAND SCOOTER RALLY 2019

I was trying to explain to someone what I got up to at the weekend and this person just looked at me like I was mad. How do I explain that I was drinking 10 pints and eating 10 bananas within five minutes, attempting to catch flying eggs, pulling apart frozen t-shirts, running up and down a field pretending to be in a chariot with buckets of water and diving into a shit load of hay to find a beer, without sounding a little mad? Of course, I’m talking about the infamous Mersea Island games.

Before we get into that, in my opinion this rally is the UK’s best and most definitely worth the 440-mile round trip. Mersea is a little island in Essex, not the Scouse version everyone presumes
