It's a gift . . . . :lol:
Anyway it's not as harsh as Ian's post 'Tony and all his friends in one photo' - now there's a bad man . . . . has me laughing still - dreadful post
That's a great video Harpal - nice one of everybody
Great photos Dave (bladeowner)
The photos on a stick are really impressive (just remember extra deodorant if you're going to stick your arm up like that) :lol:

Leave the man alone - he has such a delicate manner, so restrained, seems so fragile . . . .

No pics from me I'm afraid but a heap of thanks to Craig, John and my fellow forumites for being an awesome bunch of people.
The feel good vibe of the weekend was summed up for me by two acts of kindness that sandwiched the trip - sk93 for helping me out when I wrecked my passenger mirror a couple of hours before leaving home and cherrym for stopping when my car threw some warning lights at Alston just as the main group set off. I urged him to leave so he didn't get left behind but he insisted in making sure we were ok and knew which way to bail out and set off for home. You're both a credit to the forum.
A few more mentions...
Harpal - travelling up despite not being able to join in on either run! Great to talk to you and hope to see you out on a run in the future.
John and Janice - had a fun chat with these guys at the BBQ and couldn't believe that John had sprayed the car himself in his back garden. Balls of steel sir!
RBAZ3.4 and his wife - all the way from Cornwall. Amazing effort and lovely people - I'm chuffed you won the top raffle prize. Again!
Tony and Ruth - always a pleasure. I'm still working on convincing Tina that a Lotus Evora is a practical family car with stacks of room for a pushchair. :wink:
Thanks to everyone else we chatted to over the course of the weekend, what a friendly lot!
The only negative for me was being overtaken by the M3 (badly IMO - forcing an oncoming car to let him travel down the middle of the road) and then being cut off from the group. What happened to the no overtaking other members unless signalled by? I think Taz made a very good point about people perhaps needing to look after those behind them as well as chasing the car in front...
I doubt very much I'll still have a Zed next year but we'll probably be there regardless, it's too good to miss.

Not yet, as I'm at work in London and had about 20gb of material to go through - some which seems to have mobile phone interference on it.jimbo1958 said:Hi Tony.......have you made your GoPro footage available yet?
Would appreciate seeing it mate as I was in front of you.
Cheers

Probably won't get to look at any of it properly until Friday when I get back home.
Will prioritise anything I can find with the white elephant on.

White Elephant!!! You cheeky git.
I appreciate it though.
Got back from our second National last night after a tedious 5.5hr trip down the A1 & A14 including a sudden downpour with the roof down :x however not a problem after the great weekend we had. Big thanks of course to Craig 3.2 and SammyZ for organisation and routes, my special effort award must surely go to Ian (sk93) for his efforts to charm the barman and the subsequent logistical exercise to get us all a drink in our hands.
It was good to catch up with a few that we met last year and a few we met for the first time, Keyper you'll have to get those seats changed to keep your Mrs pinned down
To anyone who's contemplating going on the National but worried about everything being "cliquey", it's amazing how much chat and banter you can have even with people you don't know very well once you have something in common, as Newbies last year we were made to feel really welcome and this year it was great to be back.
There are some great photos on here already but if I find something which hasn't been covered yet I'll stick it on.
