Great weekend Guys. Sorry we couldn't stay for the last leg over the pass, but I am not sure Beryl could have found it and doubtful if I could have kept up!

I think I have the Welsh system sussed out now. If you come to a corner and there isn't a warning, you take it flat in fourth. If it says ARAF then it's best to take it flat in third.......

Many thanks Rich and Gary

Bob and Beryl

Thanks Gary & Rich , a great event :)

Really enjoyed the weekend & the roads were great . Sorry we couldn't make lunch today, but another blast around the Evo triangle made up for it ;)

Still think you must have sold your souls to guarantee such cracking weather 8) :lol:

Well done Gary & Rich. Superbly well organised and with great routes selected.
The driving in Wales was fantastic... ....the five hour drive there and the five hour drive back less so.
The weather was wonderful, really sunny and I have to admit we even found time for a kip and some sunbathing amongst the dunes on the beach.
The scenery was lovely and the whole DDK crowd proved to be great company.
More chat later but for now some photos for those that couldn't make it:

What a cracking event – thanks Gary and Rich, great roads, weather, company and craic 8)

Loads of stories to reminisce over in the coming months including the Merc sprinter that can do at least 120mph :shock: , the pie that was actually a casserole (what was wrong with that picture) :roll: the low calorie panini :evil: , the waterfall that no Yorkshire man will ever get to see :| and a frog in the middle of a desert :drunken: – oh and two goes at the Evo triangle, which was best anticlockwise BTW :wink:

Pics:
A few of us came down from Yorkshire via the Peak district in quite crap*y weather

Image

and stopped off at a pub for lunch – the car park was err different…!
