Fantastic meet - great to see so many people.
I think I counted 16 Delica's there over the three days, seven L300s, nine L400s of all different shapes, mods and specs.
Lovely people to spend a couple of days with, thank you all, especially Carstairs who got the lot organised.
So, some pictures (If you want any taken down, just shout:)

I agree, great weekend, great people, can now put some faces to names, oh! and a great selection of Delis too, first time I've actually spoken to other Deli owners, normally lucky to see one when driving

Hear hear to all the above. I arrived late, tired and stressed, and left feeling totally restored, with warm feelings, thanks to all the folks I met, and a good few campfire-baked potatos! Looking forward to the next, (winter camping?!) meet. _________________ Andy C L300 Super Exceed - over 100 smiles per gallon! |

Hi all,
Thanks to all, I put faces to forum names and learned a lot. From how to sort out my oil catch can to the overheating problem on my Deli. I admired all the different set ups and really learned about Australian cattle dogs...and ultimately that the Adventure Overland Show was actually missing .........the show.
I learned that sleeping on the floor in a tent needs better preparation, I (nearly) mastered my NATO diesel cooker, I still have the impression it wants to kill me or take off every time I light it.
Mostly what a likeable bunch the MDOCUK is be it the Salisbury Muddy Mob or the Delicamperers.
Hope to meet up soon, on a hill top, in a valley or on a beach

Well, what a good turn out, 16 Delicas.
Good to see so many L300s turn out.
Nice to meet some old friends and make some new ones.
I think we all had a good time, even though the show was a big disappointment.
Some photos:

Hi all, could someone explain the best way to load pictures please. I have a few from Stratford and a very wobbly video from my quadcopter. Cheers for now. |

Sign up to a free photo hosting site, I use photobucket.
Load your pictures up to there.
I think there is a "how to" on here somewhere. _________________ There is a man with a mullet going mad with a mallet in Millets |

Have a look here, it sounds complicated but its not really, just a bit messy and long winded.

Who's the Ole git
I definitely did get a bit grubby, only to be expected when one knows "How To" And ready to dive in.
Thanks for the piccies Mr. Pig - Sorry I did not get your name (maybe I did, but the Altimeters Disease is getting to me Actually very tired)
Also my thanks to who supplied the Hot Spuds, I hadn't eaten much that day, due to lack of time, much appreciated. Thank you.
I supplied Whisky, not many takers tho :? - So I had to take the change home
201 Miles, just over half tank of fuel
Mr. Rob from RCT, I would like to see you on your home ground, for info on local scenery.
Greg, Iv not forgotten washers, I have a vintage car spray job booked in, will take a few days, probably a lot more
