I fear the only solution is to place a priceless piece of porcelain under the accelerator pedal :wink:

No idea since I can't cook, that's why I always bring pies. \:D/ \:D/ \:D/

gaffer tape the lid (or if no lid a plate or something that fits over the top) onto the pan you cooked it in.

Just wanted to say how sorry I am we didn't make it. I had hitched up the trailer and got all supplies on board when plans started to unravel. I won't bore you with the details, just call it the typical complications of family life. I'd been looking forward to a walk up Gummers How too, and to seeing old friends. Oh well :(

I'll look forward to reading the reports of all the fun that was had. I reckon Cumbria may have had some of the best UK weather this weekend. :roll:

Thanks everyone for a smashing time.

Not a single photo taken due to be out on the water most of the day. Have the blisters from rowing to prove it.

Hope you all had a good time and the weather was sort of on your side. This was all booked up way before we had even got our bongo. See you all at the National bash.
