I only live a mile down the road in Oakworth (home to 3 Bongo's that I know of so far). It'll be seriously cold here in March so I think I'll stay warm at home unless there's any Bongoing activities outside of the camp site? A Bongo Parade would be good!

Wasn't expecting to sell out early. I was thinking of going if you book any more places let me know.

Might need a long sleeve vest.

This was the lane down to the site last Friday afternoon. Sheet ice. Lots of fun in the Octavia.

First official camp of the year so we drifted over the hills to see who had made it, via the best chippy in the world. Some regulars and it was good to see some newbies too. We were spotted in Haworth as we tried to jettison the chip wrappers and figure out where we were. Most people on the site seemed to have vanished for the day but here’s a few pics from us....
