:) Just read this, feeling very jealous of all the fun and most of all good friendships. Hope to get to know the DDK crew a little better as time goes by (and my car gets here!).

I'm sure I heard Brendan say, "Don't f**king bother lining your cars for the photo"

Is there any action camera footage?

I brought my iSaw but forgot all about it, so unfortunately I have made no footage...

This guy went a bit overboard with his actioncamera:

I organise it once every 7 years and Brendan helps a little bit (sometimes).
Next one 2021. We’ll be going much further north and you will need a kilt (compulsory) for the ceilidh.
