Don't remember mrs D getting her 21 bumps

They did get up last on the Sunday morning ! but I put that down to the heating in the Bongo friend wagon Who knows

Well had a great time up in Cartmel, lovely part of the world, Weather was kind, windy on Saturday night, but little if no rain Tough Northerners we are, Bigdaddy was working on Mountaingoats Bongo in a tee shirt, no vest have the photos to prove it

Afew pics from the meet

Another great meet. Didn't get to circulate as much as I'd have liked as busy housekeeping for two boys (who had a fantastic time due to Mrs Peg Leg Petes tireless efforts organising games), but enjoyed a quiet pint in the bar and finally met de Bongomeister, of whom it has often been said.

Kept to a centuries old O'Neill tradition of being the last to leave. We quit the field at 3.00pm a full 2hrs or so behind our nearest rival. So my pics of the meet are:

Nice pics pete When did you sneak in that pic of me fitting tony's bullbars? I was a little (ahem) pre-occupied trying to loosen the towing eye bolts to notice many going on at that particular time...

I discovered that if you pull the spanner so hard that the suspension compresses six inches or so,the bolts undo as the bongo crushes one's head.... (where there's no sense...... )

Extra special thans to dbo, and dabs for rescuing me at 3am on the sunday morning,i'd been out in my barefeet,six inches deep in the mud desperately trying to hold on to my awning as the gale force winds tried there best to turn me into a kite flyer! (i still can't lift my arms, i'd been holding that massive kite since 1.45am).

Who was it that said "peg it down well"?....

An extra big thanks to kawazaki kid for helping with the bullbar fitting, couldn't have done it without you mate...

It was good to meet max headroom,bosun,Di & jamie,and the others whose name escapes me at the moment,many thanks to "the munkies" who sorted the cain clan out with those excellent bacon rolls....

Flippin eck mike, that's one lonely looking pic mate....

I Know that platty345 had been doing the rounds tidying up,i see that you sneaked in a little bit of camp tidying too...and i don't mean that in a "limp wristed" way either...

Its amazing how big the field looks when its not full of bongo's!

Yep, thats why I took one. But I love it. I've told this one before, but we used to have a poster in our loo of a lonely seashore with the caption that said "If you find me here, do not think me lonely - only alone." That's me folks. And what I absolutely don't do, is rush except to answer the call of nature (in the broad sense - and camping at Cartmel this weekend gave us a few of those eh Ste?)

Must say hello to Lone Ranger by the way. He passed us not long after we set off back from Cartmel, at a point where we had the Lakeland hills in full view ahead, and kept us company until we part at the M61/M6 split. Lovely. I expect he'd been up Scafell Pike and back down again in his shorts and tee shirt while we were packing up camp.

think he said it was grange he was going too.

some-one pulled in as we were leaving (3rd last)did he not come over to you mike -told him who you were.

we encountered 2 bongos one heading north (cant have been andanden they had an escort) waved too us anyway, the other we overtook but received no response.didnt recognize the driver.
