Yes,U think everyone feels the same,tired but had fun doing it,lol.

I did 975 mile's all in to and from home.

Was great to see you both as always,and see you in a couple of weeks mate.

Thanks Craig for your efforts, its not easy to run something like this smoothly, always issues and obstacles to overcome, timing for lunches, evening meals, booking into hotels, Fuel stops, it goes on, it can be stressful and something i could not do.

It was also good to see some old faces along with new faces too :thumbsup:

we ended up doing just short of 1050 miles all in, not bad for the old girl, however we did pickup a fault, as in the drive cable snapped on the nearside window lift mechanism, so it has to be opened by hand just now :lol:

Stay safe everyone, hopefully see most at the National in July. a few pics to follow soon :thumbsup:

Yes,it went well,on the whole I think.
The weather was decent, Thursday, Friday and Saturday anyway.....even Sunday I had the roof down most of the day bar an hour or two at Lunchtime,so not bad at all.
The traffic was even surprisingly light majority of the time.
We had alot of mainly traffic free roads,with only a handful of cars/traffic to get past during each entire day,bar the Single track sections,it was very enjoyable driving.
I never get bored of driving these roads,even after 30+ years,lol :driving:
Was great to see you both as always,and everyone else, including a couple of newbies.

Excellent company made it an excellent weekend.

Here's to the next one,and to the National in July as you said.

Nice pics,John
I just realised I never got one of that nice wee old station,or many of all the cars in attendance.
Makes a change,haha,as usually it's nothing but car pics in my phone after a meet.

Obviously I was choosing the scenery etc,Or just having too much fun to stop and take pics :D
