Big thank you to Craig for organising the meet. Brilliant weekend as always, lovely meeting old friends and getting to know some new ones!
Especially nice to see some old faces make a return. Look forward to next year.
Also, Big Thanks for your help with this as always, mate. Much appreciated.

Was a great weekend had by all,even Tom the dog,which I was worried might have got car sick,but he was happy all weekend. Nice to meet his owners too.
As you say,great to meet everyone again,and those who hadn't been before. Hopefully all those who hadn't been before will be back next year, along with everyone else.
Speak soon mate

Great to see you as always,Dave.
Saturday weather could have been better,but Friday,and Sat night BBQ,plus most of Sunday were good,so can't complain too much,even had shorts on and and to use suntan lotion.
Look forward to catching up again soon.

Missed opportunity.......still scraping the s**t out of the tread of my trainers. :rofl:

Many thanks Craig and John for organising another fantastic weekend. :thumbsup:
Really appreciate you letting me tag along still.
The rain was a bummer but didn't dampen our spirits. :oops:
BBQ was great as always with the added bonus of the 4-0 England win.........fingers crossed for Wednesday evening.
Always good to see old friends plus a lot of new first timers that will hopefully return next year.

Have a few videos that I'll post up later. :thumbsup:
Great to see you as always mate.
Of course you can "still keep on tagging along", you and Brian have been to all bar 1, and the only two who have been to more than any,bar me and John,lol
A change of car for you wouldn't stop us enjoying your company.
Look at next year's thread,up already.
Look forward to it already.
Hopefully you'll be feeling better soon, especially if England win again.
Can't believe Spain didn't win tonight,they ran most of that game.
Italy just have a knack of scoring and rarely conceding,even when they're second best.

And some great photos and videos too. :thumbsup:
Was great to see you and Hillary again.
All the best for the coming months.
Looking forward to seeing you both again mate.
Will keep in touch on FB,etc.
Glad you Both enjoyed it,and had fun driving behind me at times on the Sunday.
We took the longer way back to the Hotel on the Sunday,(on purpose),as I like the wee road to Shap,as opposed to joining the M6 sooner,only adds 5-10 minutes. :driving:
See you soon :thumbsup:

Good to meet you,and your passenger.
Glad you both enjoyed it,and look forward to seeing you both again next year.
Always find time goes quickly on this meet, and you don't always get to chat to everyone often enough, despite the toilet stos and uoto 2 hours Lunch,etc.
See you soon :driving:

Craig/ John,
Thanks to you both for a fantastic weekend of driving fun. Enjoyed the new routes on Saturday and thought the pace was spot on in challenging driving conditions.
Sunday was a great drive with very little on the roads to get in our way that allowed me to give the Alpine some long overdue exercise.
Even the weather gods were kind to us for Saturday night’s barbecue and you did a great job with feeding everyone.
Again thanks to both of you for another fantastic forum annual meet, roll on next year. :driving:
