I'll pack the tools Fudge.
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been
Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered
)
Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Well, what a nightmare getting the money for the meet out the bank 
They told me I have to withdraw my limit over a few days to get it as I work and cant call in to branch
So if I was unemployed I could get money easy
Anyway, 2/3rds there
We have arranged fuel for the geny to use for extended periods, we will agree a cut off time though for sleepy heads
Just have to pop into the loft and get one of the tents, then shopping and beer then some personal coinage ..and fuel .
Its rock on from there

Really disappointed to miss this one, was hoping to come with wife, dogs and caravan but job got in the way!
Roll on retirement!
Hope you all have a great time and don't get stuck
