We got back home around 3pm this afternoon and Kathy has gone to bed for a nap - shattered!
What a fantastic weekend and our best Fest so far. At first, on arrival at Grendon, we thought it had been cancelled as the field was empty - only to find a line of shiny Cougars next to the lake on the way to the Club House to sign in. After a 10 hour drive from Cornwall we got the tent up then cracked a beer and joined the fun. The Friday night was a bit messy to say the least (photographic evidence to follow).
The pitch by the lake was simply awesome, fantastic views with the bacon butties in the morning and gorgeous sunsets. The facilities at the club house were much nicer too than the bogs we usually have to deal with
We had a fantastic time and the decision to stay on an extra night was a good one as a few 'Festers' got to relax and reflect on the weekend as a whole (and have a quiet drink and a chat while recovering from sunburn during the day) :beer:
Have to take my hat off to JJ for organising it all and for getting the pitch by the lake (we have got to return there for Fest '13)
Thanks to Rich and Ria for the cake, the barbequeing duties and the entertainment too
You had to be there - the best Fest we have been to so far. It was so chilled and full of banter and laughs. Roll on next year
