Gin Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Think Jay (Saddlebags) and I both thought the other had posted a check in, so sorry this is a little delayed! Both home ok and gear hung up to dry. Had a wonderful weekend with you all, the rain didn't even slightly dampen the mood Special thanks must go to all who made Lewis feel so welcome I know he looks older but he's still a kid. A very happy kid at present Jay and I were saying last night we had a really good time with him on the Friday night especially sat round the fire chatting and listening to music Really glad he came. Also [mention]Liveware Problem[/mention] it was properly lovely to put a face to the name, so nice to finally meet you and hope to see you again. Cheers all again, I could easily go through each person there and say how lovely it was so to see you, but I won't break this out into a huge post. Just thanks all, you gave this stressed out student a wonderful break Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gin Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Will keep all my fingers crossed, I can't even imagine how difficult it must be to find a site for the rabble that we are! Agree with Throttled about taking notes for what went well this year, for at least the day to day planning for the next one. It's so easy to forget the good little details.
