Hoggin the Bridge.
It’s that time of year again when the Cables of the Old Severn Bridge creak under the strain four thousand ‘Hoggers’ as they cross from England into Wales to descend on the border town of Chepstow to raise money for good causes.
The 10th annual ‘Hoggin the Bridge‘ is due to take place this weekend, on Sunday the 18th of October. Organised by the Bridgewater HOG. (Harley Owners Group) this event has grown from strength to strength and now attracts between 3 and 4 thousand bikers (on bikes of all makes).
For a minimum entry fee of £10 which will go to chosen charities you get to join the throng as it crosses the Severn Bridge, before taking a scenic route and stopping off at Chepstow. Chepstow is well prepared for the invasion and welcomes the group with open arms. With many events laid on and the car parks reserved for bikers only you will be made very welcome.
If you wish to take part, meet at 11am at the Aust Services, at the first exit at the English end of the Old Severn Bridge.
Oh yes…..bring a bike!
