Bongo Fury

Nice to meet you all and put a few faces to the names. Enjoyed our first bongo meet and even managed to flog a couple of "meclocks" Life is bongofull!!

Slap a field full of strangers together,, add Bongos and a liberal dose of alcohol and what do you get A fantastic weekend as always, well done all, especially the Bongo Master and Marianne

The Red Lion ?

She just kept finding me

Ice Cream Thames style.

And to finish the weekend there was DUCK FIGHTING These two really laid into each other - we chucked a bucket of water over them and bashed them with the washing up bowl but they still wouldn't let go of each other's throats Mrs. Duck just waddled off and left them to it

First things first. Thanks to Ian and Marianne for what must have been very hard work to make the weekend so enjoyable. Considering it was our first time Bongo camping, it worked out surprisingly trouble free and enjoyable. Nice to meet so many so nice peeps. Here a few piccies of the event.

Great few days & perfect weather too. Thanks to Ian & Marianne for organising such a good venue. Thanks to Keith & 2Sticks for getting us out of the slight flat battery difficulties on the Sunday morning. The walk to The Dew Drop Inn was quite an adventure, and the trip back was enough to work off the calories from lunch. I don't remember seeing the Berkshire College of Agriculture on the itinery, but it was a pleasant detour. At least we made it to the "Red Lion".

Good to catch up with a few old faces & meet some new folks too. Looking forward to Stourport.

Ah, I'm glad you "appreciated" the direction clues on the outward walk (I was a Girl Guide you know ) Perhaps we should have put some down for the return trip too , still at least you made the Red Lion - we never found it

Mrs. D

Thanks to everyone we met on our first Southern Softies week end, weather was great but those rudy planes. We're not used to all that noise down ere. Thanks to the early risers for keeping me company on my long trek around the site. We enjoyed the lunch at the Dew Drop Inn and the walk from the Bongo across the car park was ardous??
Sorry,no photos but thanks to those who have posted theres.
We are both looking to see you all at Stourport,
Dave & Roseanne

I did think that driveing to the pub was a good idea, I was right. We got are food frist and were a pint up "shandy". Well done to all you walkers,it was hot.

Many thanks for the pictures. Not the same as attending I know but it looked a great weekend. Next time perhaps.

Excellent! Snowy had just done a poo and if you watch carefully, about 10 seconds from the end, Marianne picks Snowy up and takes her back to our Bongo.

Ahhhhh, the sites and smells of Hurley preserved for future generations....
