I attended and had good time. It was nice to meet up with a few people from this forum, Andy, Chas, Renate, Roman, Eva and the guy who's name I've already forgotten, sorry, but he's treated himself to a rather nice and shiny 60 plate Hilux, so some of you may know who I mean. As well as catching up with a few other friends that were attending.
Nice pic's by the way Andy, is the mud still falling off the 80?
It was nice to see vehicles ranging from motorbikes through to great big trucks, that's one of the reasons I went. I'm not really a motorbike man but after Austin Vince's excellent presentation on the Saturday evening I could easily be persuaded! He tells the story of his travels so well and with such a sense of humor, that this was easily the highlight of the weekend. I highly recommend attending one of Austin's presentations if the opportunity presents itself.

Finally, a big thanks to Stan and all the behind the scenes helpers that put a lot of time and effort into running the event, and to TonyS for hosting it.
Cheers,
Scott.
