Brilliant weekend! Absolutely perfect weather for it aswell.

Big thumbs up to Mikey for organising it so well, shame about the big tent but at least we got some use out of it from the poker comp!!

Still uploading photos but here's a few to start

I didnt do the Sunday run but had a great time from Friday lunch - Sunday morning

Great to see such a good turnout from both classic and new (and new new) Mini's

Awesome!

Cheers mikey, you even booked the weather!

Little bit lobstered and just about recovered from the roller coaster ride on sat, i won't name the culprit but everyone their knows his reputation proceeds him!

Location anywhere.......!

What a weekend we had an absolute ball!!

Thanks to Mike and Colin and all others who made it a well and truly memorable weekend!!

Winning the "special award" for sleeping in the most locations

Saturday morning waking up in a soggy tent due to its relocation the night before!! AND then having your car hidden is enough practical jokes for one weekend. Thought things were looking up when we were then fortunate enough to get in mike's tent for the Saturday while he relocated to the log cabin only for him to fill it with hay!!

Think Lee should have won an award for managing to pull the most stuff out of a mini's boot, he is the male version of mary poppins!!

Roll on 2008 Ive got a whole year to think of ways of getting people back!!

How much stuff does this man need for 1 (Yes 1!) night of camping? MINI full to bulging and a Land Rover Discovery. Could you tell it was his first time.

Good to see you again Lee
