It's been really good reading these write ups and seeing all the pictures again.

My first Dash and therefore my favourite so far

Great company and great characters ......

Waldin - for playing mother hen and having us all waddle round after him. On foot he'd sometimes stop and just watch to see where we all aimlessly wandered off to. Thanks Kev

Wapping - for all the organisation and extra effort he went to on our behalves (thank you Richard).

Blowzorn - for his excellent humour and tee shirts.

Novice - for being the delightful chap he is and strong enough to be his own man.

Shapeshifter - for his straightforward tell it how it is style of wit.

Shep - for his musical farts in the morning and chilled out approach to life and the trot.

Darkhorse - never met a more organised chap. Good guy to have around when things don't go according to plan.

Sir James - if you've never met James you should. He thinks in cartoon strip format. Funny aint the word. Thanks for the coffee pot.

Brian - first one to roll his sleeves up and help.

Floyd - seemed pretty unperturbed by any of lifes little hiccups. From a failed heated jacket and GPS to being side swipped by a Taxi. No worries.

Number 6 - probably the quickest rider on the trot. Not a great fan of David Blunkett (!!!)

Thanks guys for a set of life long memories.

I admit that the choice of music at first had me worried that it might lead to photo's not yet published but some clever matching of images and lyrics there Kev.

Very enjoyable.
