Due to unforeseen circumstances, sticky 13s has been cancelled tonight, we have now decided to have a social evening with background music, in the club house 19.00pm tonight (Sunday). See you all later

t’s a tad breezy this morning in Orkney!

Understatement - gale force with driving rain and the van is severely rocking side to side on the pitch…

We have a chap staying here on the site in a sort of old-fashioned scout tent - wouldn’t fancy being in his place in this weather…

The little inter-island ferry set out a short while ago, just hope they’ve all got good sea legs

 

[Livotlout]

Smooth crossing to Rousay this morning......weather poop.

 

[Undertaker]

We've been in Orkney for a week now. It's only rained twice, once for four days and once for two days. If I return I will come in the summer next time.

 

[TissyD]

It's been red hot and rocking in Bridlington.

Thank you for organising this lovely meet, Phil. It was our first time on Orkney and it didn’t disappoint ( just the weather most days!). Thank you Jeff for organising the entertainment and Zoë for the cakes.

Found on plot 25......looks like cool box closure....

 

[mariesnowgoose]

Total weather change today

 

[Linda]

We left on the 11.00 ferry today, easy crossing, and now travelling south on A9.

We both had a lovely time on Orkney despite the inclement weather. It was great meeting up with everyone-especially Nancy who stunned us all with her amazing singing!

 

[Exwindsurfer]

We've had a brilliant time on Orkney.....apart from the weather!!!!! Thanks to Phil for organising this and getting our discounts and Jeff for organising the entertainment.
Last but not least a big thank you to everyone for the company.
I'm pleased folks had a good crossing today unlike us yesterday...it was a tad rough...first time I've ever been seasick
Making our way home down through bonnie Scotland for the next few days.
Chris, Jeff and Luna xxx

Hi everyone, I can’t believe how light it is up in this northern hemisphere, hence the late post time wise.
Just a big thank you to Phil, Jeff and the other stewards who helped organise this fab week on Orkney. Like others it was our first time here and very impressed we were.
It was great to meet new faces and old and the golf club meets for the quiz and social events was excellent for catching up and discussion matters.
We are currently at a wild site literally 10ft if you are imperial or about 3m if you are metric from the sea, wow, if I was in Cornwall I would be paying many many pounds for this privilege.
Hope you all have a safe trip home and will be catching up again with you at Newbury van fest.
ATB, Phil and Tracy

Thanks to Phil for organising and arranging discounts for site and ferry.
Thanks also to all the stewards/helpers who make these events run smoothly.
Well done Jeff & Linda for the quiz night, very enjoyable, and what talent we have amongst us in the singing/guitar playing department, wonderful entertainment indeed.
A very big thanks to all those who arranged and helped me celebrate another birthday on Orkney with afternoon tea and cake and nibbles, followed by an evening steak meal cooked to perfection by Ken (rugby Ken) very memorable indeed.
Great to catch up with and share time with old friends and meet some new ones.
Lastly, nice to remember Meg (biggarmac) from this time last year, a bit emotional for me, thanks Linda for explaining and your support afterwards.
