As MAG’s official insurer, we were invited to East Yorkshire to attend “into the valley”. A two day event on the grounds of the Sledmere estate. Its a chance for MAG members and friends from around the country to turn up, set up camp and drink.

On arrival we were quick to put the Bikesure stand up and may I say with military precision. Its fair to say we are seasoned pro’s at this now. It was the usual plan of action for the weekend, give out quotes, hand out goody bags and generally talk insurance!

No sooner had we placed the free sweets on the table we were inundated with people. Now I’m sure some of these people wanted to talk insurance and generally tell us how wonderful we are but truth is it was all about the sweets!

The weather held out to be a beautiful sunny weekend which for a bank holiday came at more of a shock that Jons choice in music on the drive up.

Around us were stands ranging from helmet sales, camp shops and even a kilt stand! Yea, that’s right kilts! Other attractions included the “best in show”, comedians,live bands and the odd drunk biker littered around the site.

All in all we had a fantastic time in Yorkshire, from learning there is nothing like mobile phone signal and that the nearest shop in 7 miles away. I would also recommend a pint and a bite to eat in the Triton Inn just round the corner. Biker friendly and easy to find I would rate it 10/10.

This show is only one of a number that fill the calender this year. You are entitled up to a 15% discount from your insurance when you join MAG. Proof that it pays to be a member of one of the biggest rider organisations in the UK.
