We were treated to some stunt flyin' by the Duke of Hamilton, apparently

I must have found my tent, leastways I woke up in it. Suspicious that I was feeling fine, no great actually, I headed off for a coffee, keeping one eye over my shoulder for the wee bastard that was following me with a shovel a few paces behind, right enough he caught me about half an hour later giving me a right good 'scud' round the back of the napper, er' anyone got any hangover pills?

'Bunnie' was busy putting the water slide back together, soapy water , inner tubes which was keeping the weans happy.

Some folk took advantage of the offer of a 'cram into a caravanette' to go to Haddington to the pub. I decided just to chill out and wander the site to check out the bikes and catch the craic then sit down with Davie to get the details and more photies for the feature on his Gpz.

The was a bike show outside the marquee, not a lot of entrants but some lovely bikes. 'Ping's' fat top harley (which I've just seen on the Rock & Blues coverage on Men and Motors), Davie's (soon to be feature bike) Gpz resplendant in new paintwork and several others of note, see the photies.

Saturday night saw 'The Shore' followed by 'Mischief' who played a more mixed set than I've heard for a while from Nickleback to Tom Petty to the Waterboys. 'FM' were up last, nae offence but they reminded me of 'Strange Fruit' from the film 'Still Crazy', maybe it was just the singer. But the dance floor was bouncin', well plenty of folk were.

The trophies were presented along with bunches of flowers to some of the lassies who helped out and one of the blokes who I believe had just become a Dad.

Shaz won the £100 draw with number 312, how can I remember the number?, coz mine was 313, bugger.

So the Minehoff has been entered into my rally calendar for next year, I can see why there are so many regulars, there were over four hundred folk this year.

Thanks tae Sparko and the rest of the Minehoff for a great party, put it in yer diary for next year.
