It was a blast guys. Apologies if I was a bit downbeat at times.

Really enjoyed it and as ever great to catch up with old and new faces

We had an absolutely brilliant weekend.

Weather fab, routes a delight, base camp idyllic & most of all the warm DDK spirit should tide me over until the next one.
A massive big thank you to Brendan & Mike for organising this huge event.

Apologies to Mike (210bhp) didn't get a chance to say cheerio....you were deep in conversation.

Just got back. 1391 miles since Friday, two unexpected but very welcome passengers, the best driving I have ever had and of course, fantastic company.

What a weekend. Car worked beautifully. Had a 25 min run with John M where we were in 3rd gear, 5-7k revs the whole time. What a blast.

Some photos later....need a cup of tea now. Am knackered.

Thanks Brendan and Mike for putting in all that effort. Great weekend.

Just saying to Julie that our life would be poorer without our fantastic DDK friends.

Had a ball the last few days, great weather great roads great cars and most importantly great people.

One of my high lights was seeing Marks wife jump out of the car at the top of apple cross bouncing after a spirited drive up the pass.

Also as Richard says that 20 minuet blast was Epic, it made me feel like a driving god ( although I'm clearly not)

A big thank you to Mike and Brenden for putting on a splendid weekend. I'm knackered, off to my scratcher.

Evening All,

First off huge thanks to Brendan and Mike, and for someone other chap for sorting the weather!

As expected I have about three million photos to delete, but one for now that sums it all up!

Brendan has a patent on 'DDK Random' just in case PCGB decide to stop using the laser aligning tools for group pictures :)

Before I passed out last night I held it together long enough to set the camera up outside to do it's stuff... Capturing Ruzz coming back from the bar, Sladey wandering around with a torch and a lovely uplit tree from the bonfire! :)

160 odd pictures layered together, just a small version at the moment to see what it looked like before I really give the computer something to think about!
