Finally found my SD card and didn't want to post without pics ...
Andy and Stoo I'd already met several times before, so no introductions needed there.
Thanks again to Andy for organizing the meet.
From the other guys I was hoping for a chilled air, as that's what I needed from this weekend, and I got just that! Excellent.
I arrived early-ish on Saturday morning and decided that instead of heading straight for the camp I would have a walk along the cliff-tops.
I headed a couple of miles South of the camp then turned North to rollercoaster myself along to the top of the climb down to camp.
Real nice coastal scenery.
Gained sight of the guys and then I knew just what was ahead of me by way of descent!
Safely down and introductions aside, I wrenched the pack from my back and congratulated myself at being still able to stand upright ...
Some of the guys went off to explore, but I was happy to stay fireside and had Liam for company.
And what company! It felt like I had met someone from the past, someone with which I had stories to tell and also receive.
Jumpers for goalposts and Wagon Wheels were definately bigger when the Daleks ruled.
Cheers Liam, I enjoyed that banter immensely.
The other guys came back and we eventually settled around the fire, craic being established soon thereafter.
I enjoyed the dry wit from Gaz and talking to John was good humour then out of the blue he did the aforementioned song and dance routine. Mental! Absolutely hilarious. I ain't seen the video of it but I was there in real time and that was enough for me. Bonkers
As luck would have it, the group was blessed with a trio of good singers.
Myself, Stoo and Andy were the other trio
I really enjoyed the campfire sing-a-long, my voice sounding better to me the more wine I drank ...
All told a very enjoyable weekend; looking forward to the next one.
Thanks guys.
Most photographic scenes look to be covered, so I'll just add a few from my card.
HQ, and hotter than the pic makes out.
A few more
A few more from a little further down ...
Cheers.
