the rear window was smashed in spectacular style into more that 100,000 pieces whilst reversing up into a tree.... to exit the camp site. :oops: :oops:

A few bin liners and about 300 feet of electricians tape slapped on in the pouring rain held long enough to see us safely back home dry and intact.

:D

Tom,
Terribly Sorry about that, I thought it was all in the boot, I took a load out when I got home, but the cars still got a lot in there.

I made it back wensday at about 2:30am....long drive home as matt wanted a MacyDs...set his phone for it and silly old me just followed it....only when we found the irish sea did we realise we had gone in the total wrong direction. Anyways, eat our grub on the beach at about 10:30pm thuesday and then set about getting home as I had work at 9am the following day :evil:

Thank you tom for setting up this weekend!! it was amazing!!! for once I didnt get stuck!! (must be a record lol) AND I didnt brake anything....(that ive found so far anyways).
Thank you Phil and Paul for leading our groups, did an excellent job!!

No problem Rob....I wasnt going to let you get a taxi from wrexham to the tune of about £70 was I?? Oh and I have your tent, torch and stove :P and again its no problem squeeks....I still have a small amount of electrical tape left lol....did it really last all the way home?? O.O And bleeding stretches truck after sh!tty lane was much easyer and faster than I expected, so thats good!! I have to say I felt quite the hero this weekend....I managed to help 3 people without needing any assistance myself! :D (Makes a change lol)

Will post up pics and vids when I get enough time to find the camera lol.

Cracking weekend :oops:




Thanks go to Tom for organising, and to Phil for arranging the lanes
Sharon, Mikey (the mad dog) and myself had a great weekend. Was good to see you all again, plus meeting some new faces, and also people I didn't get to meet at the annual.

No photos from me (kept leaving the camera in the caravan :oops: ). I think everyone else's tell a great story of what a wicked weekend it was for all.

Looking forward to the next one

All my bike injuries hurt / ache when it gets cold. Doesn't look good when a student I'm teaching how to ride asks why I moan about my legs and I respond with 'I ploughed my bike into a parked car after a minging 3rd gear wheelie'

When I was young and stupid I'd like to point out.

You got any pins mate?
