Whaddya mean, I got very upset when Dai got just 2 penalties on Sunday evening compared to my 9... :x

..and Pete and PC in the same sentence, nah! :)

But the beautiful calm evening and visibility for miles & miles over that nice landscape chilled us out, for sure 8)

and some of Irish Dave's comments (exclamations!) when Paul was going round were just hilarious :lol:

Best campfires yet, some wonderful night skies too and a few satellites for something to point up at....

Lovely campsite near the meandering river and some beautiful views and 'chocolate-box' village nearby.

We heard that the landowner thought we were very different to other clubs, as we seemed to be having a lot of fun without the usual roar, racket & rumpus :D

And the SUN SHONE on us for two whole days and no-one complained about the ground frost on Sunday morning :ok
