By special, hand delivered invitation I have attended a gathering held in the bleak & desolate border territories between Scotland ( Gods Own Country) and some 3rd world wasteland I have already forgotten the name of!
Hartley Enterprises PLC organized this particular group of sad individuals & I must admit it looked a little like herding bees even getting them as far as the allotted camp ground, never mind anything more serious!
This spectacular event even included entertainment as Brian had laid on a fight between the local pub cat and a visiting dog – the dog won!
However, the quote of the weekend came from one particular “inmate” as follows:- “Brian, I can honestly say that I have never had such a spectacular view whist evacuating my bowels on any event previously!!”
Naturally, I have used a little poetic license regarding the exact words used by the person involved to protect his identity - but he will know who he is!!.
( I do so love his headgrear --oops, perhaps to much information - Nah!)
Enough talk down to the pictures
Andy Thomlinson.

Hi Giles,
Yes, it was a super couple of days - they did make the snow line several times, much to Brian's amazement, just could not get through it though!

many thanks to brian and the farmer for allowing us a little tour of the cheviot hills.

perhaps the waterfall section?
i think the buggy steering broke before i slid down the hill onto the rock...
missed a good bit of freestyle old school 4x4 fun those that did not or could not make it.

Go on Darren rub it in  If my navigator ever gets back from his three month tour of unstable central-African countries you can be sure he'll be getting a hard time! I imagine your incident happened at the furthest possible point from the way out?  Giles |

This is what we come to expect from you Darren making sure that you break you vehicle (sorry not your Vehicle) at the catering van just so that you can feed your face  |
