I'd just like to thank everyone that attended the Llantwit rally, great to see so many friends again and make loads more friends.I spoke to far too many to name, only an hours detecting on the Saturday proves that. Spoke to the farmer this morning (Sunday) and he was very pleased everyone enjoyed themselves, and must have been happy with our behaviour as I got some favourable feedback of him  ;D , lets just say the possibilty of a return trip to  one of his many farms is a very good possibility.

Special thanks to the guys that camped , really good company with top blokes , and Gazza ...what a BBQ master you are.

I think one liner of the rally has got to go to Borderfox. It went like this.

Tafflaff:- "I heared something snuffling around the outside of the tent last night , I thought you was attempting to spoon with me Mr fox."

Borderfox:- "No....... I dont know what spooning is but.. No......."  :D

Thanks again guys , glad you enjoyed it.

Well done Rob, it was a great place to be, from your initial thoughts on it to it coming to fruition has been a lot of work and tense times I'm sure.
Thanks for giving everyone the opportunity to meet up it's much appreciated.  ;)

Sorry i could not make it taff but had a phone call on friday to fish for wild brown trout in Loch Corrib Gallaway Ireland. Cannot turn that down and what a fantastic trip it was too.
The Loch is 35 miles long and 8 miles wide at its widest point and when there is a good wave on the water at this time of year the fishing is unforgetable.But it was nice to read the posts on the rally well done to all that attended look forward to hearing more.
Ian. ;D ;D ;D

Aww you lucky git Ian!  :o .   Not to worry , I feel a return trip coming on  ;)

TAFF your a top guy, thanks for getting the land it was a great w-end . ;)

Yeah great day Rob. Funny enough I could only do the Sunday but had a whale of a time. Thanks Casa Dos, Adie and Melon head for your hospitality and though out in the field for six hours I to only spent a hour and a half detecting due to constant conversation. Seen some great finds though and was a great location. Thankyou all for a very enjoyable day and I am well keen for the next rally.

Rob your a top bloke thanks again mate. ;)

Hi lads, I've just about landed after the rally, My wife and I arrived Friday afternoon about an hour before Rob, I went round to Rob's pitch and he was just starting to erect his tent/mansion, I gave him a hand and all I can say is if it wasn't for the kindness of the lady on the next pitch explaining where all the poles go we would probably still be there now trying to put it together.  ;D ;D

We had a great weekend and the barbie Saturday evening was brilliant-great food and superb company. :) :) 

I didn't find much but hey we had ace weather and it was great to chat to old friends. :)

We stayed an extra night on the campsite and it was quite sad to see all the empty pitches and the fields devoid of detectorists on Monday morning, bit like a ghost-town.lol.

My wife Sheila isn't into detecting (strange woman ;D) but she enjoyed herself chatting to some of the folks on the rally and she said what a friendly bunch we all are. :D She would also like to thank the lads at the barbie for making her feel welcome and also the kind comments about her kebabs...roll on next year!!  :) :) Richy.   

just wanted to say i had a fantastic weekend and where do the thanks start?

rob - nice one geeza
gazza - you were like gordan ramsey ;) and thanks for th pin pointer mate
neil- for the advice and mags lol
admin - for the double advice

and just thanks to everyone that stayed camping overnight. Had such a wicked night.
Felt rough in the morning but as soon as we got walking, i freshened up a lot.

looking forward to the next rally i come to.

take it easy all and thanks again
