(With three adults on board, two of whom are overweight six-footers and I don't think my wife would mind me calling her of average build!)

mmmmm? (thinks...) Sounds like an R56 is beckoning

But not just yet - we're still in love with our R53 S

Lools and sounds like a fantasic weekend was had by all!
Well done and congrats to Nick & Derek for pulling it off!

Once again, appoligies, and am gutted for not being able to make it .....AGAIN!

Just to add my thanks to Derek and Nicky for organising such a fantastic weekend. The run itself was brilliant with superb roads and scenery, and the weekend as a whole was something else - I really didn't want it to end. Thank you guys, you really are the best

Carolyn, what can I say... great company as always I never laugh as much as when I'm with you
And Vickie I'm so pleased we finally got to meet - you're an absolute legend! "Sloooow, sheeep!"
I walk away from this weekend with incredible memories (and probably a few blanks thanks to The Royal Oak )

It was wonderful to put even more faces to names and of course catch up with familiar faces - great to see everyone again!

Loving the pics that have been posted so far! I didn't get a chance to take too many but will get them posted once I've sorted them out...

Oooo, was THAT what the pub was called?

I didn't even get as far as remembering that

[ShaunSheep]

Google is my friend

Thank goodness for that, I was going to say you should maybe have been drinking Magners through a straw, THAT would've sorted out your powers of observation

You're talking about the person that dropped a dodgems token in her pocket and had as all crawling round on the ground in the dark looking for it, remember?

No no the beer was doing a fine job on my concentration, amongst other things!
