Ah well, we can do it all again next year. Or some other time. Could make
a Welsh weekend in the Autumn a regular event, I suppose.

That sounds dangerously like a plan! SW Wales again or does anybody
know of a suitable pay&play elsewhere in Wales?

I quite liked Trefach and will almost certainly put it on my list of
'nice places to stay' - but for longer than two nights. I'll vote for
anywhere within 3.5 hours drive - which includes most of North Wales.

Stonking compilation, Martyn. Thanks for making my stuckness the last image
anyone sees.

Soundtrack to the video was better than the campsite one.

Oh I dunno, I reckon you did pretty well on that patch given you were
on (mainly) road rubber.

>Soundtrack to the video was better than the campsite one.

I was thinking of an alternative soundtrack but Max gave me one of
those looks as he left the room...

Yeah, burrI've got to go to K-quads to get some broken trees from
Santa. They had more fun with them Branches than any of the regular
toys.

The pavillion contingency seemed to work... would have Pee'd down
otherwise.

Absoloutely agree. I think we should have another event. Far better
than the shows... I didn't feel the need to buy stuff....apart from a
sweatshirt....and two model kits....and a grill badge.... and four
icecreams....lots of lpg.... petrol..and an urge to get brake pads :0)

Very much seconded, although there are some ruddy awful ones of me...

Personally I think it lacked a repetetive bass and a chorus of drumken
bohemian types on it ;o)

Crikey, were we that bad?

I'm surprised the ravers didn't complain

I can just see "Sandra" talking to the rave dudes after we had left.

"So sorry you had to put up with those loud off-roady types in the next
field with their bonfires and glowsticks and screaming kids and crazy dogs
and alcohol and bacon butties, and especially that hippy type in the purple
Jeep. Tell you what, I'll reduce your site fee to - oh - eight hundred
quid, how's that?"

"Nah, man, that's cool." <thud>

I believe their basis for complaint would be that we were eating meat,
and taking far more dangerous drugs (alcohol) than they were.

Doubt they could complain abot the music though, I could give them a
run for their money on that score (scuse pun) as my neighbours will
attest!

As an aside, can you (Richard) email me your address? Same for chap
(sorry, forgot who you were and don't recognise you immediately from
101 club database) in the other 110. I think I have everyone elses.
