Finally home in almost one piece �� massive thanks to to Tina and Neil not only for all their hard work hosting but also for their sublime auto salvaging skills (it was truly an honour to watch Neil expertly pulling Steve off) Great to see so many old friends and make some new ones. See you you all again in August, it’s always easier to beg forgiveness than ask for permission ��������

Thanks to Neil & Tina for a great weekend, fish & chips and then a Indian, genius set up !

Had a great time, shot so much I've pulled muscles in my cocking arm, drunk so much my liver needs a holiday & laughed so much that I'm still tittering now over the camp fire shenaniggiagans.


August can't come too soon !

This why you need to be there & drink much drink at the fire pit

Well Vale boy made it to the range.

We had an hour plinking as the sun was setting.

Not a bad way to end a day, looks like it got a little boggy so hopefully people didn't get too damp.

Well Neil, I was really trying hard to emulate or even surpass New Paul’s Bash record of shooting 17 pellets over the duration of the weekend…after all those lead projectiles are valuable commodities these days.

Hopefully I’ll get my mobility/agility issues sorted out over the summer… I really need to get into some kind of exercise regime as I’ve got some motorbike jaunts I’d like to do, maybe Cornwall, Shetland and Norway if time and dosh allows but I’ve really got to get the old legs in shape first.

Great to see Mel and Robert again, even only briefly, as well as catching up with a bunch of Bash regulars TonyL et al and meeting some of the new guys.

Thanks to Mark for the Diana project and Will for doing his ‘courier service’! Cheers! 🍺
Had a really nice chat with Transporter Ray when he made a brief appearance today…. What an absolute cracker of a bike that modern version of the Kawa GPZ900 really is… Guid travelling’ Bud.

And to echo the sentiments of gratitude expressed by all and sundry, Neil and Tina your organisational skills and attention to details are immense in making this wonderful event as great as it is and continuing the ‘tradition’ that T20 Mick established so successfully over at Quigley Hollow.

Sláinte, Graeme 🥃

Cycling with a Turbo trainer might be a good idea, should strengthen the muscles you'll be using most on those rides.
