If by ‘there’ you mean ‘standing on the highest point in Yorkshire in cloud and blasting wind’ then, well, it looked like Woodstock. So what’s that, about half a million ?

All 6 were in the photo at the top.

By ‘there’ I meant the walkers on the path :grinning:

I though @coco 's SIT and the M7 combo was great in the main lounge :+1: Not sure we have had those two together at Settle before have we? :thinking:

I don’t drink, but feel like I’m hanging out my arse :laughing:
What a great weekend. Great food (even if there was far too much of it) and great tunes. Both systems sounded good.
Thanks to Dave for all your effort.
Thanks to all that kept us very well fed.
Thanks to everyone for making it a bloody epic weekend!
Until the next…

Thoroughly enjoyed this Settle bake off (my first), especially welcomed the opportunity of meeting up with some members of the previous forum.
It was a great atmosphere and lots to enjoy.

Blissfully ignorant, I signed up for the Saturday walk, thinking it would literally be a ‘walk in the park’, but I was somewhat taken aback when I saw what I was up against! (Fortunately I have some mountaineering experience as a youth (D of E Gold 5 day expedition in N. Wales), so I coped

Hats off to those who cooked and washed up.

I’m moving up to West Yorkshire in the very near future which was an initial reason for signing up to this. I have a large horn system stored up here and I had my eye on the huge room in the other barn as a potential venue for it next September.

Terrific weekend and a bit out of the ordinary…

Understatement. Most of the time you were out in front IIRC !

There’s a never-to-be-concluded search going on for a forum strap-line. I think you might be in with a shout.

Just coughed up £250 for a new tyre which is likely a result of the rain lashed drive back.
15mm self tapping screw embedded in the very exterior of the tread. The little bit at the edge where you can’t mend!

Weird.
We went back via a59 and barely any wet at all.

Ouch! Unfortunate. I had a slow drive back via Wigan (to pick up a turntable part), after which young Miss Google took me on A roads to the west side of Manchester, until I got fed up and turned onto the M602 and A57 home. Mostly drizzling.

It absolutely pissed down on the M1. At one point the gantry speed limits were down to 40 simply because of the volume of rain falling, and the tarmac was just a sheet of water. There was wind too. Fortunately for me nothing pointy washed/blew into my path.

My route was ‘moist’ to begin with :grinning:

Not surprised after the reports of the abundant food digested :+1:
