That one of Harry in the rain is a classic.

Like a one man Red Arrows display team!

Great pics dave,muz and everyone else You all really caught the spirit of the meet. Don't you just wanna give harry a hug? He looks like an excited little kid splashing in that puddle! Brill!

Good to see "the munkies" again earlier this evening... (finger's crossed eh?)

Thanks to dbo and mike at wheelquick...

Yes well done Dave and Steve (DBO AND BDC) for your help with Mr M.

Well,despite the awfull rain on Saturday,it was a nice break to get away for the weekend,well done Harry for organising the meet

Nice to meet up with the usual suspects and nice to finally put some faces to some of the forum names....Tony (Mountaingoat),The DogsBollox (sorry forgot the name again) Gary and Tina and little Louis (Bongolouis)....hes soooooo cute,hope he was ok on your long drive home.Sorry if ive left anyone out.

Amazingly,up to this meet Caravans seemed to be frowned upon....now we had 5 at this meet, (and a mini BongoCaravanConvoy home with KawasaKid)....long may it continue!

DBO,looking at Harrys Scotch bottle your tardis was leaning a bit to one side

Can't believe the standard of the photography I've just been looking at. Did Amie take all those pics? I've seen worse by David Bailey (just tell her who he was ). Brill that the 5th Emergency Service (Bongo Patrolmen BDC and DBO) got the hapless MMs up and running and on the road again. I feel a song poster comin' on.....


...they look like they just left Silverdale too

I had arrived home from Silverdale about 1.15 pm unloaded the bongo and caravan and started to get the usual going ,dinner washing ,cleaning, paperwork, received a text off BDC asking can i go on a mercy mission with him BACK TO SILVERDALE to fix MM's bongo, well what could i say, but i didn't and went anyway.
Found Mister Monkey and family outside the pub (no surprise there).STE quickly replaced the hose, then the dreaded bleed, with coolant ready mixed, couple of hours later hes on his way. just a couple of pics.

THE OFFENDING TOP HOSE.



ANYONE INTERESTED, BONGO TOPHOSE FOR SALE GOING CHEAP ,SLIGHTLY NOT USABLE



WAITING FOR THE ENGINE TO WARM UP , A QUICK CHAT ABOUT ALLOYS.



OUTSIDE THE PUB, THE LANDLORD WAS WELL IMPRESSED WITH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY MM SPENT.

[mobilecat]

Our bongo heros to the rescue again Well done lads.

[Hotpot]

Amazing BDC and DBO, DBO already had gone home and BDC came out from his deathbed, good effort! Glad to hear you're all sorted now Mr & Mrs M, it was great catching up with you and Miss M again

Some great pics from everybody on here too that captured what it was all about, I liked the pics on the beach from amiex and sunsets by Bongoplod, nice to see what I missed.

One thing that made me and Chris laugh on Sunday morning in the calm after the storm when we awoke there was a concord of coughing (myself included)

hi all
sorry we wernt very good company on saturday - and apologies to those we didnt get to say hi too.
We travelled over in mild rain and a bit of a breeze, then came over the hill and it looked like all hell had brocken loose sheets of rain coming off the sea, morecome bay looked more like the bay of biscay, awnings blowing bongo roofs bouncing -it was lovely to see despite that the children (and harry) enjoying themselves so much in the puddles.
The weather tracked us all the way home, roads we had just come over were suddenly flooded -and we ended up with a private swimming pool in the kitchen later on that night. (though not as deep as dreamwarriers )
Glad to see Sunday was so much better and you all got dried out.

[B*Witched Blingo]

Well it was a laff..

Muddy Great...Kids really enjoyed it...Ady was much better Sunday. He started with an ear infection Friday night and it really took hold on Saturday so he tucked up in bed with ickle ones fairly early Saturday.. Sunday back on form and off with bongo crew for some photography..Amie and I tried our bestest to remove mud from the slight quagmire outside of Blingo and Eriba.. It was everywhere.....

To Harry thankyou for organising the meet and the swig of Wik-sey, Nice....

[daveblueozzie]

Heard a few comments that it was nice to see Jo, BDC's missus ,they thought he had invented her, well here is a nice piccy of her in the bongo with her darling better half.

[jingle-jangle]

[francophile1947]

[Dave up north]

You guys all deserve a medal for bravery.
