Well done Gordon, great meet over 40 vans for a cold frosty weekend, Falkirk wheel, Kelpies, and
al fresco evening meal and late night drinks, good company were all highlights of the weekend.

Just read this thread. Brrrrrrrr, either these Scots are tough as old boots or else they're still on site, frozen solid. News update please :-)

Mike we all had a fab time,weather was cool but beautiful,plenty drink,food laughs etc,the company was fab,and some who travelled up from down south even stayed another day.
They are all wanting another but I'm hoping we can get Jim the box to play for us just like the bongo birthday convoy he kindly done the music for which is still on you tube

"Bongo anniversary forth crossing on u-tube" should do it.
Another great bit of organising by the laird, he even managed to close the forth bridge whilst we all crossed, brilliant meet.

Mike. Gordon has some way to go yet before we can call him a tough old boot.
