Monday - Leaving it all behindMonday morning the last of us went our separate ways – many were woken by the Jefe4x4's Cummins alarm clock. Sally and I bid farewell to bka0721 before he had to start work tidying up the show grounds and btggraphix and LaDawn before finally heading out.

Stay tuned as we head further north east...
