looks fine to me Peter

Previous weekends at Swanage have always been brilliant but to finally have done it in my own buggy makes this one simply the best ever! Folks if you have never done it before, trust me the buzz you get as you drive through the crowds is unbelievable - better than any drug could possibly be. If you don't have a buggy on the road, still come, there's always a spare seat somewhere.

Naturally a big thanks to Flags of course and also to everyone there. Special mention for Crazy Dave Dream for coming all the way down with his lovely daughter just for the parade with minutes to spare.

But I think an extra special mention of thanks (and I know the folks concerned will do the same) goes to Ollie (who is rarely on here). We had 2x broken buggies on Saturday evening which under normal circumstances would have ruled them out but oh no, Ollie got them fixed (with some assistance) so that both were there for the parade and running just fine! 

Thanks flags and every one for turning up

and all of what Andy R said...

Thanks to all you Girls and Guys for support the Carnival event again and a big hello to all the Swanage virgins.

We raised bang on £700 for the Football club from the camping fees and have already been invited back by the Carnival committee, the football club has been rebooked and the chairman has said that we will get breakfast on the Sunday with no drum & base on the Saturday!

Out of the cast of thousands a special mention in no particular order has to go to Ollie for the fixes with the 2 breakdowns, Chad for leading the procession to give me a chance to see it from the rear, Crazy Dave for driving all that way just to do the parade, Patrick for the international participation and to you lot again for a cracking weekend.

Next year I'm thinking of a trip out to Monkey World and/or the Tank Museum for the cruise so those that want to see the monkeys make sure you bring your passports to get back out.

32 Buggies and a Wizard this year which I think is record for Swanage.

Well done.

As a couple of Swanage virgins, what a fantastic weekend! Thanks Flags and thank you to everyone who made us welcome. We will certainly be back next year for more of the same!

Hi Paul,

Sorry if I had a few smokey coughs during that procession  as you were directly behind me.....

H

SMOKE?!!!! It was the flames coming out of your exhaust that was more worrying!  

It's ok Paul, the rest of us already know from experience to keep well back from H and his monster engine! 

thanks again to everybody for a cracking weekend 

from another Swanage virgin.... what a totally wicked few days.
Flags you are a legend for organising all you do, Ollie was unreal with his repair work in such a short time frame.
Every one that went, virgin or regular, was awesome. We did not get to chat to everyone, but it was brilliant to be with some many buggies across the weekend.
The cruise down was a hoot, as was the cruise back.
The cruise for the carnival was one of the best experiences I have had to date with my buggy.
We are very lucky people to have the chance to enjoy ourselves so well with so many friends.
Thank you and it will be in our calendar for next year. (We might even have a second buggy to bring to add to the numbers further)

Jazzy, there may even be two of me

There was, no doubt, but she did not count in the numbers..... she did not have a buggy....
