Big thanks to Greg and Sally for organizing a great weekend, it was our first weekender and we all enjoyed it immensely. Well done on Fudge for being a good sport in his tree/wheel chaining incident :P . My boy had a wail of a time thanks to Hound Dog for bringing your girl, think having them both to amuse each other saved us some headaches ha. Thank you to those who took my boy on ride arounds we still can't believe he enjoyed it so much, cheers Peter for looking after him in the back hope you had a good time and manage to pick up a fronty so you can join in the antics. Cheers Krusher for having me riding shotgun top driving mate :wink:

Bring on the next one :dance:

Video for your viewing pleasure, Jim's parking is shoddy at best :P

Postby Wilberforce on Mon Jun 18, 2012 2:02 pm

Uhm, yeah...
However in my defence can I just say, I wasn't technically stuck, it was just that any movement forwards or backwards would also have been accompanied by completion of the whole "falling over sideways" thing :oops: I very nearly climbed in the drivers door and fell straight through and back out the passenger window, which was entertaining.

Anyhow, my bout of illness on Sunday not withstanding, I had a bloomin' good weekend. Always enjoy the weekender camping events; the roaring fire, the company and laughter, and eating a sizeable fraction of my own weight in BBQ'd meat :lol:

Thanks go to Sally, CheekyChick and Greg, for hard work in setting up and preparaing in the woods, and without whom these events wouldn't be possible.
Also to everyone who attended; Nice to see Kel back after a bit of a sabbattical, and some new faces down the woods too. RatCav's ice cream van just seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
Hopefully there'll be a few decent videos to come, as Lara was trundling round on Saturday with a video camera stuck to her front, filming people. Sadly though (and I do mean this) I'd forgotten to turn it on before my attempts to park her on her side in the hole. Sory folks, it would've probably made interesting viewing.

Had a ball this weekend, as ever, was pleased I could be about to give Sally a hand with setting up and taking down, payment for the all the dog walking :D

Stan got a proper battle scar this weekend, makes him look much better I think, although I have told the bloke at the garage down here it was his fault as he was saying what a tidy fronty he was last week :axe: Don't think Harvey minds to much though.

Thanks to all that came along making it a fab weekend, wouldn't be the same without everyone. When I took Stretch and his little boy out in Jims toy, I'm not sure which gave me the most pleasure, the look of delight on Lelands face (apologies if it's spelt wrong) or the worried one on Stretchs' :twisted: :twisted:

Top marks you spelt it right most people spell it Leyland like the truck. Thank you for saving the day as I don't think we would've got him home unless he had that last outing. It wasn't fear it was pure terror :P

What can I say ... blinding weekend. Didn't get to go out and drive as Greg has still embargoed me from potential scratch damage, but couldn't ask for better company for a weekend away.

Cheers to all and sundry who made this possible.

Top weekend as usual, thank you to Greg and Sal for your efforts over the weekend. Its great to be back and having a blast round the woods. I didnt get many pics or anything this time I was far too busy making up for missed out time. I did get a couple of bullbar vids for your viewing pleasure, although I wouldnt recommend having the sound up to much as all you will hear is rattly 2.8 clatter throughout..... :roll: :lol:
