Well the event started off well, friday the weather held off and we had a brilliant friday day and night! made a rope swing, got the frisbee caught in the tree then managed to get it back out again, and Ed was walking round with a blow up beer cooler on his head with a light inside it to make it glow! was rather funny. saturdays run was cool - but the weather sat night just ruined it all, i stood in the rain for an hour waiting for the fireworks and when they came you could hardly see them because of the clouds and smoke, but they sounded good. (jackman you walked off only seconds into the fireworks, the best ones are at then end)
sundays run was very good, stayed dry for most of the day and we had a brilliant run following a White rose who drove like a hero, keeping up with all of us and on small thin tyres with kids in the back. LOL we had a few hairy moments but all fun!

Was a cool event, the roads are brilliant, and the air show was excellent , shame though that the weather was bad that the spitefire couldn't do the fly over Castle Howard. I agree the bloke in the white rose is a hero. The emergency stop and the Jap spec nearly taking out a fiesta was an interesting experience. Paul drove like a hero on the Sheep walk road.

the driving was jeffing awesome, my car got so bortered with mud it took hours to clean. However it is scratched all on the rear quarter and the roof is scratched where the CB aerial wire was rubbing, gutted! hopefully they will polish out or I'm gonna have to go to the bodyshop and have them blown over. But still, what a cracking weekends worth of driving, will do it again, but in a scruffier car!
