Thanks for the kind words folks, sincerely appreciated. We loved and have just had a beer together - we're still buzzing.

As someone said on our Facebook post today, a gofundme campaign for better road surface between the Crook Inn and the bypass would be well supported!

Gary goes on hols on Saturday so we might not tweak the website / open entries before then, but RttS X will actually be on the solstice next year...so pencil June 21st 2025 into your diaries. We'll think of something different / quirky / big to mark the occasion.
