[MOCAJ]

what a fantastic weekend

best thing for me was the relaxed atmosphere and everyone helping each other out whether on site or with repairs etc

Would like to thank all the fellow organisers for what they did, brilliant effort and thanks everyone for being safe on site

Heres to the next one, bigger and better  

[willo]

Please only bring plastic knives and no fires unless inside a container

  I told you you needed a guard round the fire

[Warthog]

Ah! Is that why you stayed away from the Bonfire on tha sat night? A few shots of "Sugar Water" Would of been a good night cap

I have finished the weekend off by coming home to a flat tyre

But, stuck the jump leads on and up it fired

Dont need a tech thread you just need to invest in one of these before entering any more muddy holes

CHEAPFEST 2012

Birty Dastards’ Cheapfest at Ribbesford Woods was fun,
The weather was quite perfect, early clouds dispersed by sun.

Of Jeeps a good selection, Wranglers, Cherokees and Grands,
With Willys and Mahindras to make up our happy band.

Our total count was 48, with foreign guests a few;
Although outnumbered they took  part – Land Rovers, Nissan, Isuzu.

Tombola was a great success to help increase our fund;
Ted sold out all his tickets as soon as it begun!

Ali baked a lovely cake, she makes one every year;
Lornaben won it, his pleasure was so clear.

The campsite was invaded by a herd of cows – in fact
Jeep drivers became cowboys, and tried to hold them back.

The off-road site’s been altered, they’ve changed things all about –
The routes we used to go in now we have to come out.

Of course some parts got broken, it just adds to the fun;
Of course some needed rescuing – Bulldog more than once!


The off-road site was great fun good times were had by all,
But alas, alack for one Jeep, the AA had to call!

It really is a pity Cheapfest is only once a year
(The Turkey Hunt is next up, so keep your diaries clear!)

We mention everybody who made our weekend fun;
We know it means a lot of work – so thanks to everyone!

Forgot one there :

All were safe and sound on and off the grass
but there was one who got severely bitten in the ass.

 

[willo]

Forgot to say, big thanks to Tackleberry for my coffee and breakfast both mornings, though the mk 2 brekkie was far superior

[MOCAJ]

Birty, can you please create a gallery for the event so we can all post our pics 

[Bubba]

and birtys is is not well represented on youtube

[Bulldog67]

Sorry for the delay but here is my weekend at CF in pics:

First 40 yards - bottom of the hill:



Next 60 yards - top of the hill:



Whole 200 yards to get wedged:



Calling 'Bulldog Rescue Team':



Can we fix it:



And while we at it can another Bulldog Rescue Team fix this bit as well:



However, alls well that ends well as Sid is confident he can fix it on the M40:



And it would be remiss not to add the not so muddy as usual pic of Sid (he had waders on all weekend and a vectis racing t-shirt):

[Dave The Sparky]

There is some fine looking people in those pics, you sure you weren't at some sort of male model exhibition?
