Well this really was a cracking meet, many thanks to the Kirke family for hosting us, and to StillDesperate and the Munkies for their help getting this site off the ground. After all the effort the family have put into building this site and the surrounding facilities, we hope it works out for them.

18 Bongos and I’m sure all the occupants enjoyed what will hopefully be the first of many meetings at this site :wink:

And so to the photos.....

Image
First of all, what on earth is Amanda doing here? :shock: All will be revealed later :twisted:

Image
A glorious Friday evening 8)

Image
Everything for the budding pyromaniac on site :lol:

Image
....and a well-stocked bar, with draught Black Sheep, what more could you ask for 8)

Image
....a communal barbecue....

Image
....and a potato oven fashioned from an old diesel tank....

Image
....with loads of potatoes grown on the farm itself =D>

Image
Comfy seating in the barn – you make yourself cosy boy :lol:

Image
Saturday morning and it’s time for the Team Muz outdoor breakfast....

Image
....healthy of course.

Image
Bored with Butties? – Don’t you believe a word :lol:

Image
Time for the Jrs to go off exploring 8-[

Absolutely fantastic meet =D> =D> =D> The unbelievable effort made by the organisers and the farmer's family was amazing. Eat all you like full English breakfast, including cereals, fruit juice and proper coffee for a fiver - brilliant =D> A well stocked bar with cheap drinks :D =D> Eat as much as you like evening meal, as listed by Muz above, £7 :D =D> Unlimited FREE jacket potatoes :D =D>
Will definitely go to any future events there 8) 8) 8)
Also had a brilliant trip back, which only took 2.25 hours - it's amazing how much faster you go when watching your functioning temperature gauge, instead of the road :wink: :lol: :lol:

WOW what a meet ,that has to be the best meet ive ever been to, everyone so chilled out and laid back.
The Kirke family who run the farm have gone overboard with their hospitality.The food was outstanding ,as said above all you can eat and hundreds of baked spuds loverly grub. =D>
Horse riding, an assault course (for the more energetic than me :oops: ) hypnosis,meditation in the woods, massages, free music in the evening, a well stocked bar run by the Kirke sons , who never stopped smiling or working all the time to please us. =D>

Just want to say that we had a great weekend. Well Done =D> =D> to Iain & his daughters for organising it and also the farmer's family for all their hardwork and making us all feel very welcome. =D> =D> The site was lovely and loads of effort had been made to make sure we all had a good time. The breakfast for £5 was lovely, could get use to no washing up in the morning. Lovely baked pots, had them both nights. It was also great to meet some new faces (to us anyways) and the usual old ones! :oops: :lol: :lol:

Heres a few pictures from us.
