Got to the Pig Bash on Friday after riding the last thirty miles with the battery light on. Luckily Steptoe carries a spare.

Liv was there, spotted her showing the kids how to ride a bike…..

Pint6X offered to help erect Fanums tent while he went off to play with Steptoe on the tank tracks. He's got the rough idea of tent erection, it just needs fine tuning.....

We picked a prime spot for Fanums tent...........

And then it rained and we drank and sang for a bit. Then it was all over. We packed up, thanked bakerman for the best Hog Raost yet and rode home.

Top weekend Steve, thank you :bow

Crackin' do, Steve :bow :bow :bow :beerjug:
 
I couldn't face a full English this morning for some reason, there must have been something wrong with that pig!
 
Just a line to say thanks to Steve and the team. Thank you for a top weekend, already looking forward to next year.

joking aside, this was our first ukgser do. And what a laugh it was.
I have many photos but no way of 'bulk' displaying them like others here.

The tent... well, grabbed from the loft after a last minute decision after talking to tobinator (he's in cornwall on family hols).

I will now change my id from the very creatively named 'iangough' to 'tentman' !!!

Long live the hogroast !!

I would not inflict that tent on anyone. It will be binned or just restricted to my son's games in the garden.


As the Hogroast will be part of the 'compulsary event curriculum' now, it looks like i have to get a tent that is at least waterproof.

I'm on my way to halfords tonight as they have a couple of deals. As you might have gathered, i dont really know what i'm looking for.

On the up side, at least i have a year to get one !!

Unless you intend to use it before next year Ian, I'd wait.......come October, there'll be half price tents and all sorts in Millets etc etc....buying a tent in the middle of summer and just before the kids break up isn't a great move ;)
 
Oh, the Hograost was fun! :beer:
But I have a problem;
-names!
Please help me out here; From left to right we have...? All, except one, are Irish - and I think that is one of the persons in the centre. :p

:) Liv.

From the Left: Jinkxy (Wales), Snowdog (Scotland), Slimbo (Wales), 4th: Don't know, 5th: Can't remember his name (may not even be registered on here, but I do remember he was Polish and working in London).

You'd probably had too much Aquavite and Reindeer meat Liv because AFAIR only the one on the right is Irish. :D :D

Thank you, Taff! Diolch!

No wonder I didn't figured out the names; I'm sure one of those or the photographer said they was from Ireland! :eek
I guess I'm not the only one who had too much of something... But it was fun no matter where they come from!

...but could it be none of those guys are from England? :nenau I think that are what they tried to tell me.

:) Liv - number four.
 
Hmmm....
So:
1: Jinkxy, Wales
2:Snowdog, Scotland
3:Slimbo, Wales
4: Me
5:From Poland
6:From Ireland.
-Is that correct?

:) Liv.
