Bongo Fury

The sun is out....and I'm setting off shortly.....safe journey everyone !

Well this really was a cracking meet, many thanks to the Kirke family for hosting us, and to StillDesperate and the Munkies for their help getting this site off the ground. After all the effort the family have put into building this site and the surrounding facilities, we hope it works out for them.

18 Bongos and I’m sure all the occupants enjoyed what will hopefully be the first of many meetings at this site

And so to the photos.....


First of all, what on earth is Amanda doing here? All will be revealed later


A glorious Friday evening


Everything for the budding pyromaniac on site


....and a well-stocked bar, with draught Black Sheep, what more could you ask for


....a communal barbecue....


....and a potato oven fashioned from an old diesel tank....


....with loads of potatoes grown on the farm itself


Comfy seating in the barn – you make yourself cosy boy


Saturday morning and it’s time for the Team Muz outdoor breakfast....


....healthy of course.


Bored with Butties? – Don’t you believe a word


Time for the Jrs to go off exploring


Anyone lost one of these?


Muzette on her first attempt at the water swing


and another complete fail for Muz Jr


Muzette showing how it should be done


....and sisterly concern at another failure by Muz Jr


Success on the bike at least for Muz Jr


Amanda talking to God on the Big White Telephone


Our Welsh ladybird mascot (could be Italian )


....this one I think


....and other bizarre wildlife on the farm


Time for horseriding lessons and a less than elegant mount from Muzette

....followed by a few pictures of her thoroughly enjoying herself ......






















A quick change of clothes and off exploring again


Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we’re all hungry again


....Time to incinerate some food for tea


....using environmentally-friendly low-smoke charcoal


Tea was also on offer from the farm with spicy rice & cashews....


....chicken stew....


....and vegetable chilli....


Bongo angles


Sunday morning and it’s another healthy outdoor breakfast....


....with action-shots by Muz Jr








DBO being very good on a Sunday morning and not forgetting his prayers

So, what was Amanda doing again?.......

Look's like fun was had by all cracking photo's as usual Muz

Absolutely fantastic meet The unbelievable effort made by the organisers and the farmer's family was amazing. Eat all you like full English breakfast, including cereals, fruit juice and proper coffee for a fiver - brilliant A well stocked bar with cheap drinks Eat as much as you like evening meal, as listed by Muz above, £7 Unlimited FREE jacket potatoes
Will definitely go to any future events there
Also had a brilliant trip back, which only took 2.25 hours - it's amazing how much faster you go when watching your functioning temperature gauge, instead of the road

Jeez, that's some wide parting

.....and very shiny,too!!!!

WOW what a meet ,that has to be the best meet ive ever been to, everyone so chilled out and laid back.
The Kirke family who run the farm have gone overboard with their hospitality.The food was outstanding ,as said above all you can eat and hundreds of baked spuds loverly grub.
Horse riding, an assault course (for the more energetic than me ) hypnosis,meditation in the woods, massages, free music in the evening, a well stocked bar run by the Kirke sons , who never stopped smiling or working all the time to please us.

Just want to say that we had a great weekend. Well Done to Iain & his daughters for organising it and also the farmer's family for all their hardwork and making us all feel very welcome. The site was lovely and loads of effort had been made to make sure we all had a good time. The breakfast for £5 was lovely, could get use to no washing up in the morning. Lovely baked pots, had them both nights. It was also great to meet some new faces (to us anyways) and the usual old ones!

Heres a few pictures from us.
