Nick - Been miles and miles out of my way today, all in an effort to prove that your organisers are nothing less than helpful, considerate, compassionate, caring, sympathetic and understanding.

Oh! Nearly forgot to mention - the 3 mile journey was to collect the large 'hot-plate' from Tony AA. Convoy for Heroes - Easter 2012 - Page 2 187771

You won't need a snow plough, a snow blower maybe, plenty of warm blankets, ski wear, ohhhh and the sexy undies called thermals Twisted Evil

Great weekend, good to see some of the teams old and new.

Shame the organisation of the Convoy itself wasn't the best, but, we all had a good weekend none-the-less.

Just need a week of sunshine now to dry out the mess tents and all the kit Rolling Eyes

Shame the organisers didn't do as promised and turn up this morning to help pack it all away Evil or Very Mad

Still, they missed another round or two of bacon butties this morning, not to mention another drowning in the rain.

For sure it was great to see the old and new faces of the H4H 4x4 European Rally - the family continues to grow.

The w/e was great for its company/catch-up etc but the weather was 'slightly moist and chilly'! When we left yesterday the camping area was starting to look like a WW1 battlefield!

Tents, Gazebos etc have now taken over the garage in an attempt to dry them out.

A HUGE thanks to Nick/Lynda for the quality of the cuisine and the effort put into cooking for the rally tribe.

Re the Convoy itself - I'm informed it's organisers are looking at improvements for 2013 and will actively seek feedback. Like Tim, Rhiannon & me they are volunteers and not paid events organisers, so I feel for them. They have a common cause - raising funds for H4H. I'm sure 2013 will see some major changes.

Thank all that attended this weekend, we had a great time despite the weather. Its good to be home the only problem is cleaning the mud from everything Very Happy

Thanks Nick and Lynn for producing much needed bacon butties and other items of food. Also the supply of heat.
Look forward to seeing you all again at the start of the rally.

Ross and Jannise.

PS Forgot to mention we also converted the unconverted from Jap to LR. Millie and James Burt. welcome to the dark side Very Happy
