Just got back and am waiting for pics and vids to load. A great weekend! Nice one Woolfy!
Good to meet some old friends and make some new ones. DodgyMark isn't dodgy at all, and he's real too! Andydna didn't bring any Tallisker (much to Andy Thowman's relief!) but he did bring along another Commer owned/driven by his mate Mike. Forum reject Rachel arrived (just!) with son Tom and promptly won best shed! Come on Admin, why can't she register???
And for those of you who did not know who Cheech and Chong are:
Spare a Commer Guv?
If I told you I was a pathological liar, would you believe me?

Really to good catch up with everbody and meet some new faces too.
Cheers again to Woolfy for making it all possible
Would've loved to stay until Sunday but sadly other committments meant otherwise, still it didn't detract from my enjoyment of Saturday visit.
I came away feeling really inspired about Commers again ! So looking forward to having Hunny back in her new glory (pretty) soon ...
Hope all make it back safely
ps. well done on winning the prestigious 'shed' award Rachel [8D]
pps. Baz, I couldn't find you when I was leaving as luckily I found your toolkit in the Alfa before I headed off - assume Woolfy managed to get it to its rightful owner ?

sorry we had to dash off early guys - had to pick up a car in cambridge on the way home,
Woolfy I need to give you some camping money - I forgot all about it, send me a text and i will send it up via the electric string. Great to have a peak at the Dog as well.
This was Charlottes first camping trip EVER !!! she loved it and said you were all great - thanks for being so nice to her everyone! I promise to bring something better than carrot wine next time. Will also be trying to get a meet organised down here. Google my postcode CM23 1BG - it will give you all an idea of distance / best routes etc
The Dog is on its way....
