Made it

Post by sprintmini »

Just a quick post to say thanks to everyone involved with the organising of the Mizen to Malin event.
It was a superb event and extremely well organised, im sure im not the only one wishing thanks to Billy and co for the behind the scenes work.
A big thank you from me, and nice to put faces to names.
Just to let you know I arrived home at 03:30hrs having covered 1228 miles!!

The run home from Malin to Dublin was some crack even staying at an indicated 60mph. :lol:

All the best for now, im off to bed.

Hiya Paul
To be honest I forgot all about asking people to sign it when we were all there at the finishers award meeting.
Got a few on so everyone else will have to sign it when I see you again at the IMM.
Did you enjoy the run home?

Hiya Dermot,
Had a great weekend,
Glad you made it home safe and sound,
had a look at your pictures and you got some real beauties too!

will look forward to doing this again next year!, but you've got to remember to bring the auld CB with you then :lol:

we might even try to arrange you coming over early to avoid having to rush anywhere under time constraints :wink: :D

Macker
The timing was tight to say the least,so I will have to extend the stay next year.
I got to the ferry and only had to wait around ten minutes then we borded.
I was asleep in my bunk before the ship sailed.
:lol:

I have had the CB out today but it seems to be playing up a bit,but yes I will definately bring one next time.

As long as Mick and Tommy dont spark an oil crisis between them before next year :lol:
And I said, Officer, I didn't want to be drunk in public...I wanna be drunk in the bar. Now last time I checked it was still legal to be drunk in the bar. They threw me into public...arrest them!
