Bongo Fury

Good to meet everyone and put faces to names. Royal Oak was a brilliant choice and thanks to Mary for organizing it .
High 5 to everyone who braved the cold to stay overnight !

Was great to see all the lovely different bongo's and the camping was good too after getting over getting lost in the forest.

Cheers Mary and I'll post up some pics soon

Many thanks to Mary for organising the New Forest Meet, very well done!

A couple of Pano's as is my usual approach, click for the full Pano's of course!

Great pictures Thanks Geoff. Lovely to meet old and new peeps with some lovely bongos

Hear hear Beefy!
Really enjoyed our first Meet..... especially as we've now had
warm baths and all parts are thawed!!

Was remarkable sight at The Royal oak seeing 20 or more Bongos... and no two the same.
It was particularly good to meet some fellow Bongo owners... we've seen loads driving
around and now we know you're all real people!!

Good to put some faces to names as you said and very happy to endorse thanks to Mary for her efforts

Nice one Mary, nice to catch up with everyone

Well just back from the New Forest (we decided to make it a long weekend )

We had a great day and it was good to meet everybody and chat about Bongo's. A big thank you to Mary for arranging everything.

Happy camping to everybody, here's to the next 10 years.

Let me know!

Fantastic weekend. It was wonderful to go camping again at last. Setthorns was very pricey for no facilities but we couldn't have coped without the leccy!

Still finding all those leaves EVERYWHERE!!!!!

Thank you to Mary for taking over the organising. It was a lovely pub and such a shame I couldn't drink.

Thank you everyone for your compliments. It certainly went "alright on the night". The weather stayed dry, the pug food was good and we had a great turnout. My photos are up on Mazda Bongo on facebook, although there are far better ones here. I will have another go at Photobucket and see if I can get them up here.

My excuse for my very muddy Bongo is that I nearly got stuck in a good old new forest bog in the pitch dark at Setthorns, a couple of days earlier. Its a beautiful eco campsite, but in a dark February I wish they had put up some direction signs. Looking for our campsite I took the most obvious route which turned out to be a disused railway line Ooops. At least the Bongo got out of the mud and there was no train to join in the fun.

The Royal Oak is a great place for a meet, so we just need another excuse! Total attended 26 Bongos plus 2 Bongones.

sadly we couldnt come... too much illness in the family. It looks great from the photo's though, great effort everyone.

Hi to all those we spoke to at the New Forest Inn.

I was aware of the bongo meet on the forum, but was already booked in to a B&B(gasps!!) near Lyndhurst for the weekend
and only came up when stopped by an enthusiastic local Bongo owner who flashed me down and cried `there all up the road `as i was doing a u-turn in the middle of Beaulie.

Really enjoyed meeting those we spoke to, many who like me have are newcomers to the Bongo and still cutting our teeth on
problems, gas leaks and conversion choices.
Will take at least several meets to remember names, but already looking forward to next time.
