Adrian, what a weekend! You put alot of work into it and it paid off.....the log cabins, the setting, the roadbook, the roads, the food, and the company.
I did'nt get too many pics but here they are..........

Excellent craic - even though I missed the Saturday run I'm glad I made the trip down - Saturday night was brilliant - top entertainment as ever! :1icon_cool:

The Sally Gap is superb bit of road - hope we get to do it again sometime soon. Glad I took the Paul Smith down, not often I really give it that sort of stick but I really enjoyed it - and I had the surreal sight of a Kayak bouncing about in a cloud of black smoke in my mirrors the whole way... :1icon_eek:

Many thanks for organising it :king:

- just wish I had been able to do Saturday as well - Next time I'll be there for the lot. :1icon_cool:
