Fecking glad to see the back of the M6/40/23/25 😫 and the 62mph middle lane dawdlers.

Oh no, time to wake up to the post shitefest blues 😢

Can confirm I had the bloody car more comfy than my bed... Maybe it's time for a new mattress 🤔

I gave up and stuck to l3 and whatever speed that was going in the end, especially on the m40 by the a34. Saved endless frustration and undertaking

Use the one from your car. You're welcome 😊

Due to a healthy bout of rising damp I've not been able to write anything but would like to thank @Sunny Jim for organising us this year and to everyone else who made me welcome despite the fact that I am excrutiating company.

Yes the diabetic man won the Irn Bru 1901, you couldn't make it up. 

Pictures are still on the camera so if you just imagine some strange soggy men standing about talking nonsense and admiring mundane transport you've got it covered really.

When is next year?

Forgot to refit the seat base... Meh I'll do it later, should have stuck it in the car and done it at the office at lunch but I'm already waiting for my mate. Best warn him before he lobs his laptop bag in and there's no soft landing...

We are the SVM, where is irrelevant. 

You're right though, Cats did volunteer to host next year...

I've seen that picture, I wouldn't fight about it. It is the best picture I've ever seen of a horse lying down.

Did I mention I've a picture of Huw Edwards arse?

He wandered down to the end of the field when we got the fire going Friday night and looked really out of his comfort zone bless 🤣

We need to have a shitefest near a/walkable distance to a massive club one year...

I think I've finally woke up since the trip... Caught some grim Welsh illness and feel like death. Anyhoos.

The journey started with me waking up at 4:15am, having gone to bed at 1:00am, which was shit. Convoy assembled at Cairn Lodge Services just after 6.

4 Volvos and a German interloper.

We headed South

Had a pitstop at Tebay (tradition, old charter, something) for breakfast and then ventured to the Commercial Vehicle Museum at Leyland.

I reckon the Welsh hillsides had a higher kill count than the Luftwaffe...

I came distinctly middlingly in the night's TV Themes Quiz. Headed home on Sunday and was home for around 7ish.

Steed of choice was the 740, because SVM REPRESENT.

It got 35mpg-ish and didn't explode. BIG WIN.

Big thanks to all who organised things, especially @Sunny Jim being able to convince the site owner we were worth having again. Was good to see some familiar faces again despite the near constant rain. Thank fuck for @binhoker668's gazeebo or we'd have been fucked (or at least wetter).
