Nah I forgot my memory card

Connor should have a few when he gets a chance to edit them

I would really have liked to attend this year but just couldn't make it due to a family visit to Ireland. It looks like it was a great success though and hopefully I'll be able to make it again next year, I'll keep the date in my diary anyway!

Senior moment . I think you might need to drag Connor away from poring over his imminent new car...

Some brilliant photos so far!


It was a great meet and really good to see everyone. Big thanks to all those who made it happen!

Having a hectic few days catching up with work but I'll post my photos and videos when I have time.



My bonnet-mounted 'action cam' recording was a partial success, though some of the bonnet is in-shot, despite mounting the camera close to the end of the bonnet (with the sun shining on the tiny rear screen of the camera, it was hard to tell if it was positioned correctly). I think I may go for roof-mounting next time. The sound is better this time but still lots of wind noise so I'll probably invest in a good external mic too before the next meet. Once I've had time to edit the videos (it records lots of small video files, much like a dash cam, which have to be edited together), I'll upload and post them.

Thanks Mark, lovely to see you both, look forward to seeing the footage - Roll on our August month-end meet!

yeah a tad distracted is a bit of an understatement

Could have been worse. You could have forgotten to bring the battery.

We were slightly confused after leaving Eaglescliffe, heading south through Yarm to the A19 (for York), to see The_Laird coming up the high street in the opposite direction.
All became clear a few hundred yards further on near Aldi as we saw another '8 (moltuae maybe?) pulling out of a Shell station.
