OP Storm N.I." the aftermath"

Post by fabiostar »

well chappies some folk still on there way home as its Monday...

But can i start by saying a HUGE thankyou to everybody who took the time,and put the effort in to get here :D . i can now relax as the chance of it all going tits up was in the back of my mind... it didnt thankfully :D .

Thursday started the fun when Mr Mon arrived at my place... many beers and finger pointing at bikes had us a grand wee night.

Friday we all gathered up in wet soggy conditions for the ride up to base camp...then we relaxed bit.
