Well done Colin Wheeler for organising a fab event. I don't know what deal you did with the upper authorities but how lucky was we with the weather??

At home now with Dottie the Ruston parked up in the garage cooling down, beer in hand, bones aching and looking forward to a takeaway feeling well satisfied with another great day. Roll on next year. Nice to see Tool bag Ted with the Wallis as well.

What a bloody great hobby this is!.

Cheers
