Saturday dawned bright and warm, the rain long gone it was going to be a scorcher. Most of us had survived the night, Arkle hadn't and would be seen here several times during the day! People were off on day trips, some to nearby Shelsley Walsh, some on scrap hunting. I chose to hang around the campsite and chill some more, it was also a chance to catch up with old friends and see who else had arrived under the cover of darkness. I consumed far too much (all) of my scrumpy so decided to walk it off over the fields nearby and watch the GWR steam trains chugg past. Before the lure of meat stirred inside and the BBQ was lit. A quadruple decker cheese burger cured all. Normally I'm happy to sit around and natter by the Camper, but fancying a walk and utter those words that can make group of people stand and move as one. " I'm going to the bar, who wants a drink on me!" We headed to the club house for a bit, passing the hillclimb paddocks, already filling up with guest cars. Following some very random talk and more cider it was time to hit the R'n'R bed for some kip, tomorrow was show day. ;D

Jeez I wouldn't wanna try and take the donut off that bloke.... :-O I'm actually quite harmless. ;D I've actually just sat here typing a far more exhaustive account of the proceedings, but prefer your more concise version Steve! As always, it was an absolute pleasure spending the best 50 hours of my entire year in your company. I've just had an hour-long soak in the bath, but can't bring myself to take my RRG wristband off. What an INCREDIBLE weekend. A MASSIVE thankyou from me to all the organising team for their efforts. I thought last year's gathering couldn't be topped, but you guys managed it and then some.

Hey, I had no idea you took pictures of me whilst at death's door! Saturday morning aside, this was the best RRG yet. Awesome cars, awesome people, awful booze.
