Graet to see you all again. Thanks to all those who mucked in with practical help and advice for my pooly Freda

Just got home safe after an 'interesting' drive home.

Particular thanks to BDC & Kawakazi for the help sorting out/diagnosing the leaky fuel pump and Snowkiter for the factsheet on the banjo filter.

Also to DBO for shadowing me through Burnley....nightmare getting out of the park (stalled 4 times) and a bit hazourdous getting through Burnley to the motorway (5 stalls including 1 on a roundabout exit). Fortunately I was able to get started unassisted each time.

No probs on the motorway drive home or when I reached the speed limits around Grange (L1 gear and on hold to keep the revs up).

See you at Cartmel?

It was a bit brass monkey weather, but it didn't rain, what a great meet. last time i counted there was about 25 bongo's and 4 estimas. lovely to see familiar faces and to see the new bongoers as well.
Went into the hall and did the mouse hunt, me bigdaddy and his family, as usual me and Ste got left behind discussing all and everything and his wife kids had to wait while we caught up. nice and warm inside the hall, loads to see.
thanks to chellandady for setting this up ,see you all soon.

Thanks to ChellandAdy for organising this, a very interesting place to explore. Must make a point of going again in the summer to do some of the walks.

Some cracking pics there by pmsoft85, to balance all the pics of Bongos here's a couple without a Bongo in sight............

Hi Gosh you could win prizes with those photos, Muz. Loved the bongo pics too, well representing the great day we had. Loved every minute of it. Well done to Chell and Adrian. Many thanks to Lucida and Estima owners who showed us their vehicles. The Hall was very interesting and we too will be visiting again as so much still to see. Loved being in first bongo convoy. Excellent to see folks already met and new faces, surprised to find there were people we didn't speak too, catch you next time. Best cakes ever from Jo and Emma, thank you. Thanks to Muz for transporting returned gooods for us. I only took one photo of the hall. Lovely, lovely day out. See you all again soon.

Many, many, thanks to chell&ady for organizing this meet!(and thank you for the bongo hoover!) =D>

Great to see some familiar bongo faces again,apologies to the peeps i didn't get to meet... :(

What a brill turnout!....A mile long convoy of bongo's on the motorway was a sight to behold :lol:

You should have seen the expression on the face of a driver of a freetop coming the other way... He damn near wore out his headlight bulbs flashing at us all! :lol:

And curiously, there was a white freetop travelling in the opposite direction that somehow managed not to see us??? :?

The hall was great,dbo and myself were transfixed with its many treasures,and memorabilia...i'd like to spend a bit longer there at some time in the future.

I can't match muz and pmsoft85 for the quality of pics,but maybe the amount of em will make up for that... :lol:

Daveblueozzie being camera shy! :lol:
