The Peak District

Glorious weather on the saturday, and horrendous on the sunday. Fortunately the foundry was dry, if not warm.
Thanks to Lev and Cormac for the photos.

I'm sure this section deserves its own title, so...

Spen's Birthday

 

We have a word for this. Grim.

Lessons learnt from the weekend:

Setting off fireworks in a field full of sleeping campersat 1 in the
morning IS a good idea.

Lock-ins are a good thing.

Mouth-to-mouth passing of vodka jelly is a good way to get to know
people (and catch all manner of infectious diseases)

You can fit a helmet through your top (oh yes you can)

Roping up for minibus journeys increases group safety.
