All went well, bright sunshine in the morning even if it was a bit windy! cloudy from lunchtime onwards but had 46 vehicles ranging from MTs, Jeeps and Landrovers to Whites half track, Dodge WCs, Ferret and a Scorpion tank. Only 4 breakdowns on the way in and we had an estimated 2000 people visit. Live music still playing and pub packed !

Live weather report from Blackwater Sailing club a couple of hundred meters from Millbeach, river web cam also live on this site that you can see cloud, sun or mud ! http://www.blackwatersailingclub.org.uk/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=15

Weather is looking good for Sunday, cloudy with sunny spells, winds 20 to 25 kph, 8 degrees and no rain, snow or ice !!

Has anybody got a Drops vehicle and a 8x8 for some demonstration work in Anglesey of some new military kit? If so inbox me and I will send contact details for the company so you can talk direct about what they need.

Thanks for the welcome guys, Grease ?? Sparkies don't touch grease ! I wonder if thats why they don't have VEs in the Army any more.....
