Passed scrutineering

thanks Scott, yes I survived 😀 absolutely shattered now after a long day so will update tomorrow but we made it to the finish, all in one piece and with no crashes or stoppages.

I’m going to die !

Westfield Power - we went for a ride and Wife wanted to visit local bakery etc shop. Was closed but when Lady saw Westfield - she opened for us

A day of highs and lows today of past , present and future….. we met at Dufftown at 9am , then on to aviemore where we met up with another two then on to fort William , with some enthusiastic progress being made 😁 where we met up with another two. Even a few wee showers couldn’t dampen our enthusiasm as it was no roofs and on to Mallaig for fish and chips 👍 suitably fed and watered it was back to fort William where we separated and to Spean bridge where we went our own ways. it was here that Murray drove “Tommy” back to Dufftown with the roof up as it was getting a bit wet to say the least lol. At Dufftown we had coffee and packed some of Tommy’s belongings as he headed off with Murray to start a new chapter. So here’s wishing Murray and “Tommy” many happy adventures and hope they have as much fun as we’ve had.

Here’s a view from inside, I can even wash the caravan up to the roof without ladders, and those that know me know that’s quite a feat 😂

The sun was up so a good turnout at GBS. The cakes were exceptional as normal and plentiful. As GBS themselves seem to photoshop Westfields out of their photos, I thought I’d post photos of the 5 that were there - @Greenstreak-Andy D, Trisha (driven by Jordan - it was really really clean and shiny), James in his yellow masda R/S engined car and Gary in his dark green pre-lit. Good to see @Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO and Sue. and @Phippsy! I thought I’d put this photo in just as it was a car of dreams back in my day a long long time ago. RS2000 Mexico. Having made the comment about GBS cutting the photos, it would appear that the tactic of abandoning our cars in the middle of the car park worked and we are actually in their photos!! Instagram only at this stage but it’s a start!

For some reason people don't want to post on the forum, don't know why, but we did have 6 cars coming to the breakfast meeting and 4 of us going to the show at Ackworth. The weather stayed dry and the sun came out for a bit too.

I think Murray has got a cracking car @Gary Taylor 👍 Looking forward to meeting up with the Clan again soon. 😁

I’m in. I Will have my 8 year old Levi as well. He loves a bacon roll!!

Yeah, but you'll go out in style... 🤣

It was great to catch up! Keeps the dream alive! 😭😂

I'll take them please. I'll take care for the shipping, collection at your address. Only need you to make a robust package, safe from abuse 😊 Please send me a PM with payment details, thanks.

Looks like @Mark (smokey mow) did well compared to the other entrants (starts at 23 seconds in):

Hi, interesting topic. Just completed two weeks touring in SW Wales. Last week Aug and first in Sept. Week in August was damp and we needed the hood up for a couple of the days. Once in you have forgotten how comfortable and snug it can be, especially with bags on the boot. The rear wheel arches were probably the worst they have ever been, probably due to all the tractors using the B roads. Jane, my wife manages pretty well in and out and I'm not too bad once you recognize the state of the rear wheel arches, but difficult to keep a clean bum all the same. Spent some time over the past years understanding how to keep the water out and be watertight inside. Still it's all part of the fun I guess.

Electric gates from the road, the caravan is behind locked and barred gates, you have to get the van up the ramp, turn it 90° then reverse out onto the road. plus you can’t see it from the road unless you’re upstairs on a bus😀

I might stand there so I can see the destruction

I actually drove past the real Fort Knox about 5 days ago 😁

Neat!

50th Parkrun today, at my favourite (and local) - Maldon, Essex 🙂

Yes 🤞🤞

Yes, I am in. The food looks good at The Steamer going by their photos.

Thanks to my father-in-law today we managed to: Replace cam followers New cambelt Helicoil for 1 rocket cover bolt Thanks to my neighbour letting me use his drive we even stayed dry in the rain showers. Thanks to my wife we were fed and watered. Hopefully the annoying (worrying?) tapping sound will now completely disappear. Run it for about 10-15min, got quieter, will give it a drive tomorrow when it's dry (hopefully). Good day all round!

Hi! As per email: yes to convoy and to the breakfast. I reckon it'll only be 1 person, my son will probably prefer to stay in bed for longer. Jens

yep I'm in , table sounds good they serve a decent bacon roll !

I know 🤣🤣🤣

What a cracking day, it just goes to show, don’t trust the weather forecast. well done everyone that made the effort, and as Marcus says, let’s do more of these multi area meets 👍 We’ve got some great photos here. Thanks Julie for organising this 😎

Here is the video diary for anyone who is interested 👆🏼👆🏼
