Ye it went up and down without a problem.
I didn't push it hard at all was very happy,
suprisingly comfortable

Hopefully someone else did, I heard the magic word ... 'Puck'.
Strandhill turmed out to be a success albeit with a slow start with some new faces
12 units camped - the weather during the day was great but got stormy at night
On saturday we travelled to Forencecourt in Co Fermanagh to the Marble Arch caves where we had little boat ride in the cave system and saw some big stalagtights and stalagmites.
The cafe there was to akin to the icecream vendor in Berlin - there was a load of chips in the display cabinet and we were waiting to be served for a few minutes and suddenly the young waitness removed the tray of chips and asked us what we wanted, all all ordered **** and chips to be told that chips were "off" at 2.30pm - when questioned she said she did not make the rules. It was now 2.31pm - we arrived at the counter at 2.27pm
The caves were great and well worth the trip.
On Sunday we went to Lissadell House in the basking sunshine.
Stephen and family from Newtownards called in on Sunday in their newly acquired Westy T25 having heard about the event on Rule 6.

another thing - at least three vans broke down in transit - vans are like humans they need warm up after along winter lie up.
I got a couple of pics so I'll put them up this evening when I get home from work. The meet was good craic but Im surprised there wasn't more people there, and that many of the people headed off on Sunday.
Truly?
T'was a total heatwave down here all weekend, have the sunburn to prove it (ouch!)
No sign of the bad weather we were forecast ?
Looking forward to pics!
Friday and saturday nights were a bit rough but Sunday night was lovely. Saturday, Sunday and Monday were very sunny.
Lappie safely returned home to Scruffy at even more moderate velocities than Deckies Oval. T'was a grand weekend. Don't forget about Oxo.
