I'll bring one... what time are you coming down? You might be able to pick it up on your way past if we haven't left.

Sorry I didn't make it on Sunday - I drank rather more than I meant to last night and was thusly hungover and not really in a state to drive. Hope you got some good wind.

We drove and walked past this afternoon, but I couldn't see anyone in the usual spot. By this afternoon the weather was even worse than yesterday with some spitting rain and just as much wind.

Had a good laugh on Saturday and behaved quite disgracefully at the auction with some not-quite-well-natured heckling ;)

Which festival were you at then?

Was OK for us... spitting rain only lasted 5 mins - hardly enough to bother putting coats on!

Great 47 person Rev mega fly!

:-D

Great two and a half days, but lots of wind though so couldn't have been much fun for the trick fliers.

As for rev's - iQuad raised the bar on Saturday and Flying Squad, Crazy Drivers and Flic responded well on the Sunday. Some of the best flying I've seen. But my poor ears - I don't care what else he has written, Frog Chorus kills any kudos Sir Paul should have.

Looking forward to 48 or more at Bristol.

PS. BiDance - awesome.

You're just jealous cos you can't get 47 duallies together to do a big synchronised routine :P

"OK, Jacob's Ladder for 47 .... GO!!" :shock:
