New Year's day at the Tan Hill Inn

If you are going away somewhere and don't mind meeting up with other Bongo owners or if you've been somewhere & want to tell us about it & stick up your photos, put the details here.

Just got back...all 8 bongos turned up eventually (Presuming it was diamond that I passed as I was leaving),

Great to see some of the usual suspects plus some new faces.

Highlight of the day was watching one of the natives munching its way through the rubber bumper in a VW camper.

Good drink, good atmospher and best of all good company....thanks gang and Happy new year to all.

Thats our first bash of the year, great time, thanks to everyone who turned up.nice to meet you mark and janet (platty 345)

had a nice meal and a few cups of coffee/tea. scenery was stunning (foggy and raining) but the sheep was entertaining along with the ducks and the rabbits hopping about (also the big yellow one(harry)) :shock:
will have to go back there when its a bit better weather.

Arrived home ,house intact \:D/ , great meeting you all, had a good time.

Well impressed with Dreamworriors convertion. Said he'd do mine for half price if I get an AFT :lol: :lol: :lol:

Would highly recommended staying up at Tan Hill for New Year, grub was great, staff very welcoming. Singer started George Formby song's on his bango at around 1 in the morning well worth staying up for.
Hope to see you all soon.
All the best.
Mark n Janet

Oi Oi! Picture No.1

Who allowed a suspicious looking non Bongo vehicle to creep up alongside the real articles and attempt to pass itself off as a Bongo.

Tsk tsk! :lol: :lol:

was contemplating pushing it off the hill,but the sheep got in the way,we also was hoping it would eat it as it ate anything else that passed its nose.

Great day out. What a crew!!

For a foggy New Years Day out, in the middle of nowhere it could surely not be beat!

Apparently, this Bongo lark is even better in the summer!

Can't wait!!!
