On a negative note just got home after some old guy in a motorhome decided to reverse into me and my van on the services. Lucky enough I just got out of the way or would have been crushed between it and my t4 while walking round to the fuel the van.
Nice to meet you buzzers. Hope your T4 is ok. Maybe it's a sign - stick to the split
Luckily you're not hurt. Is the T4 damaged badly?
Take care

Hi All
Thank you very much for making the weekend what it was, I really enjoyed having you all with us and I hope you all enjoyed yourselves aswell.
The Weather held out despite the odd bit of rain and the bad forecast. I will book the weather again for next year
I welcome peoples feedback from the weekend on anything that could be improved.
After a discussion with Rikki on Sunday we are going to look into making this event happen twice a year. Just to keep the numbers manageable and also to give others the chance to join us.
So The Dates for next year will be Friday 18th, Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th September 2015
I will start taking bookings in the new year when the show dates are announced.
A Couple of questions for people to vote on.
As an activity for Sunday next year
Caving or High & Low Ropes Course?
Or Both?
We will do a canoe Trip on the Saturday but starting 9 miles up stream of us as we did last year but with the added option of people kayaking (This will be with an instructor just to make sure everyone is safe in the kayaks.)
Thanks again for making it an easy to manage and enjoyable weekend, You really are a great group of people.
Cheers Ian
P.S
Some people still have a balance to sort for extra nights and extra people joining in the canoeing, climbing and camping. Please get in touch with me to sort this out at your earliest convenience. Thank You.

Hi Gertjan it was nice to put a face to the name.
Well as far as the T4 well we were lucky in the respect it only managed to bend in my bullbar on the front so no excessive damaged. My wife was only saying she was glad it wasn't our splitty

You island folks have all the fun. Looks great. Sorry I missed it. I'll have to make more of an effort next time to cross over the pond.

i'd love a bit of kayaking next year Ian
as for sunday morning activities next year for caving or ropes, id be up for either, so will just go with the majority vote, although probably best to just have 1 activity and save the other for the following year (presuming that will happen and I hope it does!)

Last year was great and this time we had an even better time.
First up canoeing was fab and on sun climbing was fantastic fun.
The cruise to the castle was cool as we passed through Monmouth to see everybody staring
