Woke up at 4.30 on the Friday morning to get ahead of the breakfast rush on the ferry, we'd sailed early on Thursday night so the rendezvous with Kenny and Lyn at the M56 services planned for 8.00 was not going to be a problem, I made it there at 6.45 so plenty of time for a coffee.

Lyn arrived first at 7.30, closely followed by Kenny, after the usual tyre kicking and toilet visiting we got ready for the road.

A single stop over for another toilet break and a tank top up saw us arriving at the event in the early afternoon, the sun was out and before long people were doing things of an Airhead nature.

On the Saturday the rain arrived, luckily Sid's garage provided a comfy space to keep the group together while some serious fettling was carried out.

Not to be outdone Tarka and Val H decided to fettle the water heater for the tea and coffee.

Those not involved in or taking a break from fettling grabbed a chair in conversation corner

While the crowd was distracted Abrasion kept a careful lookout for Kenny near the tools, apparently he had been admiring Rob Farmer's vacuam guages :augie

Sid's attempt to maim Kenny for admiring Rob's vacuam gauges seemed to pay off

Proff was suprised at how quickly Bakerman put his hand up in response to the request for someone to man the BBQ

But not half as suprised as when the Strip-o-grame arrived as a belated birthday present!
