Great news, book me in!!

And I'm happy to offer to build a new Sh£t# house for the campsite!! If the owners will give the club a reduction on our costs

Boy does it need one.... Shall bring the portapotti next time! More photos to come!

The chemical toilet disposal was interesting!! A big hole in the ground covered with a sheet of tin !!!!!!!!!!!

Right....some more up - Harryman - some nice ones of you on the bottom hill, and Tforturton...some of you on the hill and around the German trial as requested, Hope you like. Some more of the Iltis - with the engine lid up and some men peering in!! Apparently that is just as interesting as watching it drive!!

Top effort Jenny

I have to say that Donald looks very smart wearing a Vindic, and such a nice one at that!

Also got to say that the Flickr link is top quality Emma. Great pics

Nice pics Jenny!

Thank you to Patrick, Rich and Mark for organising the weekend.

We were gutted to miss the pay and play but the second to last lane on the Monday has to be one of the best lanes we have driven.

Traffic on the way home was really good so we treated ourselves to a few lanes on Salisbury plain.

Many thanks to the organisers, really great little site that!

Gutted we couldn't make the laning on the sunday, work always spoils the fun! Next time!

Hopefully catch up with you all a bit better at the next meet too, felt like i missed conversations with loads of people. Chin wags at SP!

The laning on Monday specially the second to last was Brutal! I don't I have ever passed something that "bad" ! Awesome ! Pics on tonight!

Fabulous pictures everyone - keep them coming.
I'm glad it was a great success. Patrick did an awful lot of prep and planning.
cheers,
Rich

had a great weekend.. didnt get many pics myself.. so.. if anyone has some shots or vid.. let me know.. especially the up the gnarly climb in the morn.. and the scamper up the impossible hill in the sfternoon.. ran up there 5 times... lol....
Really enjoyed the "army special needs" trip in the Iltis.. cheers John...
Many thanks to the organizers.. great time.. cheers..

Thanks all for a great weekend. Good to have so much support for the event and to meet up with old and new friends.

Patrick did a great job, especially on the laning with help from Rich too.

The campsite 'thunderbox' was a challenge so we will have to have a think around that one if we run the event again!

One option we considered was to camp at the off-road site and to use the portaloo; but it was very wet ground up there when we visited the site earlier in the year. There was standing water in the carpark, not unlike most of the Somerset Levels; fine for those in vans, not so good for tents if really wet

Great pictures! Keep them coming.

Sunday
