Have you stayed at Red Bank Farm before Mike? It was the one we looked at when we first got the bongo but it was closed over the winter. It looks ike a lovely place for mini mc?

just got back from fantastic weekend buggying.
cath, first time on site, very basic facilities and pitches on a slope but its cheap.
right, flying wise saturday, hit the beach at 7am then flew till 5.30pm, best run 28.9mph with 2.5 bullet.
simon says hello back mike, he was who i was flying with at 7am.
there was another bongo on the site but mark the owner dosnt use the forums.might do now.
di and jamie turned up with cameron and elliot. had a natter for a while.
sunday i got up late bout 8am, had brekie then down to the beach(if you could call it that) 5 hours flying today.
di and jamie turned up again and i took cameron and elliot for a spin in the tandem setup.
i got the impression that they loved it.
thanks very much for themuch needed food at dinnertime.
not as much wind today so no speed records.
im about shattered after all that flying.
i can recommend any flyers to the area. it was my first time and it wont be my last.

Thanks for today Mike. The lads DID enjoy it. :) It was a nice way to spend a Sunday. I think Cameron would have stayed on the buggy all afternoon if he could have. He says he'd like to go faster next time! :lol: Next time eh? Cheek. :roll: I've got some piccies but i'm not right sure how to get em on ere. Think I need a lesson.

glad they enjoyed it. i could have gone faster but ive got to be careful when towing other parents children about, unless i get some sort of disclaimer written up "at own risk" bla bla bla. yup if theres a next time.
give me a ring and ill talk you through it.
load the pics onto the pc, load up photobucket.com. log into your account.below the box in the middle it says reduce. reduce them to 640x480.to upload from computer "choose files". browes to directory and open the pics.they will load onto the photobucket site.once on then below the pic you will see img code, left click on this and right click and paste into the bongo reply.
that should be it then.
if they look too big on the site then your gonna have to edit the pctures and resize. give it a try first and see how you go.
looking forward to em.
ps the much needed food was in reference to the fact all i had left was some chilli and beans which arnt much use when your 3 miles from a toilet with a bubbling belly.

I hope you told Jo that it was gourmet dining at lunch time - Well - it was beef in the butties and those pork pies were exquisite!
