Thanks Tim. Too bad I didn't take the right gear with it. If only you guys weren't that far away. Otherwise I'd even plan a date to actually not focus on driving but just taking photos of others doing activities during the weekend.
It's just far to complicated to mix my own driving, wife, kid, dogs in one weekend. Btw, the reason I asked if the sheep has a name, my wife thinks he/she earned a spot on the wall of our living room. Will have it put on a large glass plate, probably.  |

Allen, Tim was correct, the sheep was called Wallace. He is the remaining half of 2 bottle lambs from last year called (guess what?) Wallace & Grommet...
 It was possible that Grommet was the main course on the BBQ but I don't think so 
Some very nice pics there, thanks for sharing MArk |

Super pics Allen
How fortunes vary..... Wallace is immortalised on a large glass plate that is hung on a wall in a living room in the Netherlands and Grommet (potentially) saw out his days on a selection on plastic plates wrapped in pita bread and covered in tzatziki. Jon - 110 td5 [sold]. Currently Defenderless. |

As long as you don't mention words like love and affairs nobody will get shocked Tim.
Can definitely count me in the next time, albeit without  .
Jon, life will never be completely fair, I guess... 
Have a couple more photos uploaded on the flickr page (Priory) |

@Tim - you've only said what the rest of us where thinking
@James - would certainly be interested in a similar event, perhaps with some navigational challenges too 
@Allen - here's a few more pics of your dogs... The infamous food thief.... Looking all innocent as if butter wouldn't melt..... Turns out it did, along with a few chicken burgers too... 
The quiet one, having been gently rocked to sleep on the drive round course....
And my personal favourite.... The food thief is rumbled..... Jon - 110 td5 [sold]. Currently Defenderless. |

Navigational challenges should be fun, indeed!
Lovely photos Jon. Hope you weren't too hungry when she stole your burgers. Seeiing the last picture I'm now thinking they both are thieves. Well behaved dogs right... they've let me down. Heavily disappointed.  |

Okay, so it's only six or seven weeks after this event (
 ) but I thought I'd have a go at making a stills movie from the best of the photo's that were taken by those that attended. Hope nobody minds me using some of their photos.
Never used Microsoft Movie Maker before and needed help from my eldest (she's twelve!)
189 stills (some you will have seen before), one dodgy video clip and countless cursing later ... I give you my first ever Youtube offering. A great weekend compressed into seven minutes. Jon - 110 td5 [sold]. Currently Defenderless. |
