Hi guys, we had actually cancelled our booking 2 days ago, thinking the weather might cause a bit of trouble with Miss Frankie Lynn, she isnt exactally water proof at the moment, needs some TLC, but we've decided to bite the bullet, and we will be there afterall, but our site has changed to T6, see you all on the weekend, fingers crossed that the weather will be great!!! nic and troy.

Wow, what a fantastic weekend in a beautiful location. Thanks to everyone who contributed in organizing the weekend and choosing the location - we absolutely loved it. Nice to see some new faces and good to catch up with the not so new (but not old). I look like a bit of a beetroot now - not unlike many others no doubt!!! Had a good trip back, stopped off at The Spit for a quick dip before heading home. Can't wait for the next one now.
Dianne & John

Yep it was a great weekend and the weather was kind too. Great to meet many of you but we missed out on meeting some - next time! Thanks to those that organised and fed us all a couple of times. Won't be able to make the March run (wherever it ends up) but for us roll on Millmeran ;D ;D Cheers, Doug and Tracy.

The Halpsies would like to say a big thank you to all those that made us feel so welcome. ;D Rory would like to say thanks to all those who helped him return to his van at various times. You kept him out of harms-way Lillian thought that the heart-shaped "griddle cakes" were as great as the lake And Niamh thought that the food at an Alstonville was sensational. Just look at her poker face ;D ;D There was this on our return... They thought these were really cool And did we have fun? This was the impact of the weekend And again a huge thank-you to all those that made it a great weekend

Onya Guys.. Looks like a top spot. From what i can see in the photos you where all parked up together .. no late model stuff scattered in between those lovely old vans... Sweet. Congrats on the purchase of the Bondy tandem JBJ and Boots. Thats a nice looking van . I am sure it would have plenty of elbow room inside... and that is a must for any extended travelling/touring.... Reddo

WHAT !!!.... Sutcac said.... "Issy's been coming on V Van runs with JBJ and Sue since she was a l'il tyke.... throwin pebbles on uncle Reddos van roof on the very first Spring Tour..........wonder who could have coerced her into doing something like that?................................. She's all growed up now though......but still likes vintage vanning ............" AAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh... So i finally get a confession from the 2 culprits Why you just wait until i get a hold of you two.... Izzy might be 16 and a bit , but i reckon a good whoopin on the rear end with a chunka bondwood might teach her not to listen to uncle Clyde and his evil plans. All i wanted was a bit of a sleep in and i got rocked from behind a funny lookin van that springs open on all sides like a jack in the box. Hey Clyde.. this is what ya should be teachin young Izzy... Now .. where is that chunka bondwood... ya both could do with a bit of a paddling... ;D ;D Reddo

Hi All,
Wow - what a great weekend. Fantastic venue with the lake and the sea so close by. It was wonderful being able to go for a swim so often during the day to help cool off.
Banno thanks for putting up the photos of the SS. Joey with the look of the drivers door you were so very lucky not to be hurt badly.
Izzy, welcome to the forum.
Luv Di

Nan & pop got a bit worried that it wasn't going to happen! haha Thankyou Di for the warm welcome & A MASSIVE thankyou to banno & joey for the yummy griddle cakes ;D Everyone was really nice on this run, I reckon it's probably one of the best i've been to yet. So where will we all be rolling to next? ;D
