well as this the first time in ages i had five mins i just wanted to say how much i enjoyed going to the breakout after missing the last couple of years
it was super to catch up with folks we simply dont get out enough the first night was nearly a disaster with a tent donated by donk we arrived late and the daylight was nearly gone and i had never seen the tent up never mind how it went together donk walked over and helped me work it out
after a near frozen to death night the Saturday was upon us and though overcast and chilly did warm up nicely we had a lot of fun in our mindy and as always was taken aback at just how good these little trucks can be with modest cost and tech
i can confirm there is plenty condensed into harptree to give a very enjoyable weekends fun we had a go at everything enjoyed the snooker very much and the canes
Saturday night bought pizza and fire and then cooking as the kids were still hungry i was absolutely amazed to find i had been nominated for a prize well two actually not sure what the one was but winning the spirit of the event prize bowled me over thanks to everyone involved in that truly
sunday was busy as they always are breaking camp and having a last play the mindy was somehow not quite right and cut out a couple of times it seems to have oil pump failure when cold runs and slowly warms up gets tight stalling the engine and wont restart untill cool again
