    As has been said, a fantastic trip from start to (unfortunately our early Friday) finish. Massive praise to the Grainary staff, they just could not do enough for us all. Loads of banter & laughs, just the way we like it. Fab to meet up with new friends & look forward to wherever NMS takes us in years to come. We are in safe hands peeps, huge thanks to Brian & Christina for such a monumental effort in pulling it all together, & a big round of applause to the NMS committee for all their continuous hard work.





    PS Zimbo, get yerself to an optician mate, the 11 year old Cooper is still going strong & will happily be there in 2016 to share a beer or 2 with you


    FORZA NMS

    Thanks Ali it's a Hero 3+ Black Edition I have although having seen Davy and Pete's Garmin VIRB Elite cameras I sort of wish I had waited a wee bit longer and got one of those as it seems to be of equal quality but has gps data built in.

    Looks like all the minis on the run were 'S's and above and no coopers except for NMS' resident photographers rental.

    Dad (Malcolm )fantastic photos from yourself as usual, terrific photo of the beast with the hay and barn behind it

    The Cooper Paceman did very well, a few more gear changes than an "S" required. Just glad I went to the gym for three months before the tour.

    The folks that do the rental are very understanding and we are very grateful to them for the use of the Paceman

    OK folks, as the idiom of “What goes on tour, stays on tour”,has been woefully disrespected, I think a full explanation is required, for those NMS members who didn’t manage to join the happy band of travellers.

    It was, of an evening, when the Chaps were relaxing with a glass or two of the finest real ale. Someone referred to the day’s events and in particular to a spirited passage along a single track road on top of the North Yorkshire Moors, heading towards Goathland. I suggested that it was slightly less enjoyable for myself, because as the “Back Marker” I had a large commercial vehicle who was managing to keep up with our pace and was at times getting veryclose to the back of The Beast. At times it was slightly disconcerting.

    However in the joy and gaiety of the evening, part of the explanation was lost in the translation. What I actually said was……….

    “It’s aw rite fur u guys ,but on that back road I wis the rear gunner and I hud a huge Trannie Van up my ar@e..... all the way”

    Somehow this statement of facts caused Stephen to burst his incontinence pants and Craig to asphyxiate on his beverage. Some of the Chaps joined in with “whoops and cheers”, but I think others cried in sympathy with the position of discomfort that I was in……….

    Oh happy days, what great memories are made of.
