Great picture Moz, shows just how much smaller the e85 is in comparison to the new z4 (as it is over the e89).

Enjoyed both the drives so much that on the way home to Washington on Monday went via the lakes to Keswick then on to the Alston road again.
Again, well done to all for making it a fantastic weekend.

Thanks again for your help with some of the Raffle prizes,much appreciated,mate.
Great to see you as always,and here's to the next one

Inconsiderate person meant we were all tired,me especially,as I was last to bed
That was me

I just wanted to be there is spirit, so I drove up in the dead of night and left a steaming pile next to a smoke detector

Haha,no laughing matter when you have been up late drinking,then going through stuff,being woken 3 hours early all because some fud had to smoke at 5a.m in their room/ the corridor!!

Hope you get your car's sorted soon,answer see your Could at another meet, or National soon/next time

First day the weather was great...a bit of congested traffic ...

Ferry across Windermere was a nice part...

Good to see you both,Peter .
Hope you make good use of those wash buckets and grit gaurds ,and not use them for the horses,lol.
Enjoy your Holidays

Sure did craig,btbh the place was empty sun night after the zedderz left so they had empty beds to fill.
Otherwise they dont tend to budge on price.
Allways better negotiating face to face

Oh another bonus the brekki was better that the previous morn , we got a full mushroom ,and beans and 2 eggs ,happy days

As some of you know who attended, the arrival of my 2nd Grandson was imminent and being a selfish southerner I was hoping the wee man would hang on until after the weekend.

Was awoken in the tent at 6.50am on Monday morning by a phonecall from my wife to say that Kylies waters had broke. After a swift trip to the hospital she was sent home again but at midnight she returned and baby Harry was born at 8.02am this morning.

I owe the little fella a big drink when he's older for letting Grandad have his annual weekend of fun before coming into the world.

Anyway the Weekend.

Craig/Sammyz(John) - Thanks again for organising yet another cracking weekend and for letting me along in a non Zed. Had a fantastic time as always especially the spirited run on Sunday. Really enjoyed the slower scenic run on Saturday as well as it's not often we get to see a lake and I think it was a good intro for some of the newer members.
I think having the two (not three

) groups on the Sunday was also a great idea allowing everyone to have an enjoyable drive at their own pace.

Craig/Grumpybri - Sterling work on the Raffle prizes guys. Was really great that all the drivers got a prize and a fantastic sum raised for Charity.

Laine/Nicola - Thanks for feeding us all on Saturday night. Everyone got well fed and as Craig mentioned, the Gas BBQ was a lifesaver.

Hoping you have a car for next year and get to enjoy the rides.

Everyone - Great to meet up with friends old and new. Hope everyone enjoyed as much as I did and would be good if we have some returning attendees next year.

So thanks again everyone. Will post a few pics up later in the week when Grandads schedule is not so hectic.

thanks to craig, john, pete and brian for all your efforts, and to everyone else i met for making it an awesome trip.
will definately be back next year

great scenery on both days, and gave me a chance to get used to driving the z on proper roads.
clocked up 945 miles in total, and roof down constantly every day, including trip home.
got back at 11.00pm , which was pretty much as i had hoped.
