Great video and some great photo's guy's looked a very good run and the setting for breakfast was very nice.
Just a question how long were you out for, Mark you are near me what time did you leave and what time did you get back?
Must keep my eye out for this one again.

Talking to a "spotter" at work, I wish I'd have asked to look round the hangers, apparently they're very accommodating at Compton Abbas & have some interesting stuff hidden away in the sheds. There's a fuller write up on the blog. I came back through the New Forest & picked up a 5 ltr "tank" of rough cider (7 1/2% proof) and some marmalade for my wife. It's Tuesday, the cider's 1/2 gone.

You know where you're getting the cider T, your driving down the side of the pub looks a bit wobbly. That cider consumption you mentioned, when did it start? And you seemed to be suffering from rather a lot of wildlife as well! But all very entertaining, thanks for sharing, as they say.

And, @ Steve, having only seen your car completely black before, it took me a while to work out the one with the white stripes in the Euroblat photos was you. For what it's worth, I thought the asymmetrical look was pretty striking and very original.

colin,
left otford at 5.15 cos i wanted to do the pre blat blat from bbarn....i could have gone straight to the main meet point and would have left around 5.45. Got back around 3.30 after a nice cross country meander.......it was 108 miles from bbarn to compton in a pretty straight line.....so about 150 from home each way....

It is definitely a day trip rather than morning, but well worth it when you get a pass

Thanks Mark, very interesting

Another pic of the stripey machine, because we like it



And one of the panoramic view from the brekky table.



Would have posted earlier in the week but I spend Sunday afternoon onwards with raging stomach cramps. Saw the out of hours doc late Sunday night.
Verdict IBS sort of thing or the onset of a stomach bug.
Was throwing up briefly Monday am. Wiped out Tuesday.
On the mend today.
Were those breakfast sausages that bad??
