  9. another point i think on the trip as a whole , this type of trip can only be organized, run and attended by like minded people , they must leave there gripes and moans at home .spending a holiday in the rain sleeping in a damp tent ,no hot water unless you boil some ,smelling` living and eating in a field is not for everyone ...all that said it draws a common bond out in you with all the others ,and that what makes the trip right ....one happy family and the friendship grows from that , at trip with focus, friendship and fun , vehicles history what more could you want , thanks to all that went talking point of the year for me jg
