Whaddya mean, I got very upset when Dai got just 2 penalties on Sunday evening compared to my 9...
..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
and some of Irish Dave's comments (exclamations!) when Paul was going round were just hilarious

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