“BEANO” - 10 June 2001 - 3 March <strong>2017</strong><br />
Beano entered our lives during the August bank holiday weekend in 2001. He is<br />
what turned out to be an expensive non bike ride in the Peak District.<br />
We had been making enquires about having a dog. On this particular day in August<br />
2001, we had taken some time off work to ride the Tissington Trail. Just as the bikes<br />
were loaded onto the car, the postman arrived with information of breeders that had<br />
got pups for sale.<br />
We headed off towards the Peak District, and in true form of the British weather it was<br />
raining when we arrived. What shall we do with ourselves?<br />
Some bright spark in the car said shall we go to look at some dogs? A few phone calls<br />
later, and we have tracked some pups down in Scunthorpe.<br />
We headed over to Scunthorpe, and were introduced to “Trentdale Tally” Money<br />
changed hands, and “Trentdale Tally” came home with us. Arriving back home with a<br />
dog, and the bikes hadn’t even been taken off the car.<br />
“Trentdale Tally” was soon renamed “Beano” after the comic. (Lyn had, had a Border<br />
Terrier when she was younger. His name was Dandy).<br />
“Beano” first went camping in the summer of 2005 when we purchased our Conway<br />
Corniche. After several outings on our own we joined the Conway Owners Club.<br />
“Beano” attended his first rally at the AGM at York in 2006. Lyn, Beano, and myself<br />
enjoyed the rally, and as they say the rest is history.<br />
“Beano” attended most rallies with us, but occasionally we would attend without him,<br />
and were always asked “where is Beano?”<br />
Most people who met “Beano” will have their own memories of his cheerful, and loving<br />
character.<br />

Unfortunately his life took a turn for the<br />
worse in October 2015 when he suffered<br />
a stroke. His mobility was a problem, but<br />
he still enjoyed the camping life.<br />
After a short illness during February <strong>2017</strong><br />
took a toll on his life, and he passed away<br />
peacefully on the 3rd March <strong>2017</strong>.<br />
RIP “Beano”<br />
Gone but will never be forgotten<br />
