On Christines machine cos I've not got home yet

Wet and windy... and that was just the effects of the guinness CW drunk last night! ;)

Fantastic time... even though MissyC chose us the worst weather weekend ever... and THEN didn't even come along (w**king? My a*se! ;) ). Loved the drama of putting tents up in the torrential rain, waiting for the rain to stop and then returning to the campsite to find out that tents were either flattened or blown away!!! :eek: :eek2:

Hope Neil and his friend got back safely, and a big thanks to Neil's friend who sat on our (flattened) tent to stop it from flying away while we calmly finished our drinks, laughed at the (ahem) entertainer and then slowly wandered back... to near on devastation!!! ;) We really appreciate it, and sorry we didn't thank you last night. :(

Thanks CW for some sooper-dooper routes again, and to everyone for the great company and the vodkas! :freak3:

Here's looking forward to next year! :D

Rachael (still looking for my own user name! ;) )


PS... ChrisB... jammy donuts for breakfast? FANTASTIC!!!!! :D

Little Miss WRX 13 September 2004 02:29 AM

Cheers for that! Wet indeed. :D

Didn't mean to rush you into them. :p :D


Wish I could have been there!

ChrisB 13 September 2004 08:50 AM

Some tractor stats from the weekend:

4hrs 17mins of driving (home-to-home)
375 miles
Average 39mph
Overall mpg = 44.8 :D

Excellent route as ever Mr CW :cool: That yellow Ka on the way back from the pub was peddling hard trying to keep up :D

Little Miss WRX 13 September 2004 09:10 AM

I don't want any dodgy tractor stats Mr Fecking B. :p :D

TonyG 13 September 2004 09:17 AM

Having seen the weather, I'm kind of glad I wasn't able to make it now....
Hope it clears up for Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday.

flat4 13 September 2004 12:38 PM

not going to wales are you Tony? ;)


i felt really bad sitting at home while you lot enjoyed yourself, then i saw the photos lol :D looks like you still had a great time though :)

ChrisB 13 September 2004 12:47 PM

You'll have whatever you are given LMF :p

Back to Wales for me today - I'm sat opposite Conway Castle right now. Drove across in lovely sunshine but now it's raining again :rolleyes:

greg.g 13 September 2004 12:57 PM

Sorry to have missed this one.

Did anyone actually loose a tent then:confused:
Were any of them damaged by the high winds and rain.

Its good to see that you all got back in one piece though.

ChrisB 13 September 2004 01:39 PM

Neil's tent is probably 1/2 way up Snowdon by now (it went AWOL whilst we were in the pub). Dave and Rachael managed to rebuild their's in the dark and Neil's mate was wrecked 'cos the poles snapped.

flat4 13 September 2004 01:42 PM

and this was with all the guy ropes pegged out :eek:

ChrisB 13 September 2004 01:45 PM

I couldn't comment on Neil's tent pitching ability ;)

Oh, and CW slept in the car as he didn't trust his tent...

However, my tent (at least 12 years old!) survived the night :D

boomer 13 September 2004 10:28 PM

It's not so much i didnt trust it, I didnt want to listen to it flapping about all night so I slept in a nice warm cosy quiet car :D

DaveD 14 September 2004 08:18 PM

We slept in our tent, it was cosy, warm, stayed up and the flapping didn't keep us awake! :p (though whenever I woke up I did check to make sure the fly sheet was still there! :rolleyes:
