Finally got around to posting my pics....
Cant believe Karl that you have posted a rare pic of me in a C5 !!!!
Anyway - despite the rain (and plenty of Nurofen+ - I had a bad back!), I had a great time. 10/10 to Karl and Angie for keeping their sense of humour over the weekend. You needed it... it was a weekend that would have tested anyone's patience. I was SO glad that I was staying in a nearby Premier Inn Hotel... it was warm, comfy and DRY!!!!!!
As ever (speaking as a true support vehicle veteran on these events) there were one or two disappointing aspects of the trip, but on the whole we all had a good time and it was well worth the time and trouble of going to Wales etc... just to see you all o/s the Hoover Building. Following you on the run (in Karl's Mum's RAV) was - as always, a "voyage of discovery" and I was very impressed with the local plod who stopped the traffic for us. It was also great to see just how much interest there was at the site and to see so many people queue to have a ride.

Thanks also to Steve, my co-pilot... who had the scariest job of all - putting up with my driving. Cant wait for the next time!!!!!
Well done Karl and all the C5ers who attended.
