Bongo Fury

Fantastic w/e, thanks to everyone for making it what it was.

Back home now after an eventful journey! Hit a pheasant on the way there on Friday! No choice. Then 5 miles out of Wimborne this morning my coolant alarm went off (thank God for Haydn). This is where I stopped
Steam billowing out from under the bonnet. A lovely young lady called Louise came to help me (RAC) and an hour later I was back on the road. Looks like that damn pheasant has damaged the bottom of the radiator!

Apart from that, an excellent weekend. Thanks to Ian for organising and Crazy for organising the pub crawl, sorry walk! Sorry I couldn't stay for an extra night but I'm away again on Thursday and I suppose I must put "some" time in at work

Here's a selection of photos:

Nothing, that is except my dad having a heart attack this morning He's OK but I'm too drained to drive and would probably be rubbish company, preferring instead to check that my mobile phone had a signal every 20 seconds.

Have a lovely time everyone. If anyone is actually reading this forum in a field full of real people pass it on! You can all make as much noise at the skittles tournament as you like

Alison, family and Issac
We missed you at this bash. hope all goes well at home and will look forward to seeing you soon

It was only the moss on the front bumper I only did that so you'd be able to sleep at night

I don't know you kids and your modern gadgets!

Good to see you all again, stayed on till tuesday night. The sun has been out all week, it showed on the roads today, talk about busy. Big thank you's to Ian for organising, and Kirsty for sorting out the pitches. Not forgeting Brett for letting us have his mum's pitch from Sunday on. And everybody else for making it a great weekend
