Hi Luke,

Good to hear the return trip was a better one. Shame about the weather, but still a good week. Regards to everyone.
Same time, same place, next year

Default Stone Family

Here is the Stone family "wheelin an dealin" at the LwD stall in Beltring. Notice Steve's NOS Diamond T wheel. It was nice to be able to put faces on names.

Luke,

I almost missed your Ford; Engines were running when I was making a quick round along the terrain to take the last series of pictures on sunday. But, I made it!

Great truck!

Alex

Hi Luke,

Yes it was nice to meet you (and the rest ofcourse) at Beltring again.

Cheers to another Beltring!

(too bad we missed eachother at the bar, but maybe better for the elderly people eh!)

Default Tsk-tsk... the elderly indeed!

That's just about enough outta you two ankle-biters!

Hmmmm..... on second thought, your youthful frivolity smacks of some sort of self-delusional dare, doesn't it....?

I didn't get all the dirt but from what I can gather, a certain Steve Stone and a certain Dirk Leegwater, missed a day at Beltring last year. They were both rescued from the Spitfire Bar late one evening by Luke and Stefan and didn't surface the next day for whatever reason. Luke and Stefan know the truth but the rest of us can only speculate.
Barry
