By the way, I hope they waited until the game was over before starting target practice.
Why, fast moving targets are far more challenging :angel:
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

All in all a great day and good to put faces to names.

Thanks to all for making me feel welcome and thanks to Al who put up my drunk ramblings until 0330.

Got home about an hour ago.  I tell you what, 7 hours of driving in heavy rain is smurfing knackering.  I'll upload some pics later, after I've had a good nap.  Good seeing you all gents. :cheers:

Hello peeps  :D  Had to stop for a 15 minute nap on the way back, but still knackered. Kirky's not to blame this time  ;) - I was up talking nonsense till half three in the morning with Smashie and Tofty. Good to see people are getting back safe - just Tom and Peter to check in I think  :think:

Thanks again for a fun weekend chaps :salute: it was good to see you all   :cheers:

TD takes aim, cupboard acts as loader.


Sparky makes it look easy.


Kirky shows off one of the "prizes". :D

I KNOW people pic avatars from different ideas or places,  but I am still always a little surprised the avatar does not resemble the person  :facepalm:

 50ft-trad should have a cane.   :facepalm:

Kirky and Sparky talk "big choppers" and  Smashie asks "what's in the box?".


Yes, you really can boil water in a plastic bottle on a fire.


50ft and Cupboard both decide it's beer-o'clock. 8)

Proving that once in a while I will actually look at a camera (just so long as it's dark enough that you can't really see me ;)).  Shortly before we had to move under cover due to rain.

some of my favourite Quotes of the weekend ~
"are we there yet?"   - Kirk13 (too many times to count)
"there are hot showers available" -sparky (when people arrived...just before he said ''hello'' ;) )
"is that rain ???" - everyone !
"Is Cupboard here yet?" everyone apart from cupboard (who wasn't there)
"anyone fancy a cold shower ?" -Sparky (uncomfortably often for a male only meet)
"your breakfast seems to be on fire Tony" - Me (sitting close enough to put it out  :facepalm:)
"here you go TD, take this tin of haggis home with you" Gareth (my best mate  :gimme:)

No sign of any initiation chickens, I think I'll risk going next time.  :tu:

The only things making me hesitate are no kebabs & the thought of cold showers with Sparky.  :ahhh

Local knowledge is a wonderful thing, shame I wasn't there on the Friday, a few miles more and you would have struck gold (well Kebabs at least!).
