Dunno weather to laugh or cry... Weather Forecast

Rain means MUD

but it does make the camping a tad miserable.

dad and me had a wonderful, no fantastic time. great bunch of people, we cant wait for the next campin trip, plannin a leak proof tent already.

i'm working on the photos but i haven't been home yet!, will get some on soon as i can. if everyone sends me ya good pics that they wanna see on the DVD of the hol, i'll do my best to get them in it, that includes videos too, and then post you all a copy. if you can, try not to reduce the quality when you send em as they will look better on ya TV.

unfortunatly i can't put 'debbie does dallas' on there bob.

I'd like to say a big thanks to Colin and Amanda for arranging this weekend, and to everyone else who was there. Amelia and I had a great time as usual.

Unfortunately my Surf came home quite the worse for wear, and won't be doing much until it's had a lot of TLC.

Damage that I *know* of:
Drivers side step now held on by one bracket only
Rear bumper has a new dent, and is now higher up than it used to be, so that I can't open the tailgate fully
Rear window is now very slow to fully close so I suspect that the tailgate is now out of line
Rear passenger mudguard ripped off, front one hanging by a thread
Front wheel arch has a chunk removed
Front wing is mis-aligned
Engine overheated on the way home just outside Kirby-Stephen, and has now developed a major case of the shakes while idling.

Still.... had fun anyway

Here's my pictures.

Jess, there are un-resized high quality versions available here, along with some videos. The files sizes are pretty big (especially the videos) that's why I havn't emailed them as it'd probably blow your inbox limit.

I know jess has been on and said we had a great time, but i had to say it too and I want to go back. I am still smiling even after looking at all the paint missing and the sill pushed up into the door. Thanks to Colin and Amanda for all their hard work over the weekend it payed off, everyone had a good laugh from the minute they got there till we had to go home. Jess and I had so much fun.

Jess is working hard on the pics now they will be on soon

Thanks again Colin and Amanda

Weardale

Hi must agree with "Slugsie" good weekend was had by us all, although l did not take part in all the fun, to be fair l was a little worried about the other "Chuckle Brother" after his big operation l did not wont to undo the good the hospitals good work on patching him up. Thats why theres not many pictures of me off-roading. But l joined in for a while on the 2nd day in the mud. CHEERS again Colin & Amanda.
