Well what can I say this years LGT was the best yet why?
First of all the LGT campsite was fantastic much better then Braddicks the toilets and showers were really nice the feild its self was massive plenty of space for the kids to run around the evenings in the Gazebo were great chilled out and relaxed (and now cheesy music being played at full volume) ASlthough it rained while we were setting the tents etc up it still didn't really spoil the atoshpere.
Thursday saw a groupl of us attend Ilfracombe carnival which was a good chance to promote the LGT!
The booking in went really well and as for the 3 runs well words can not discribe to thoose who weren't there what it was really like they were Awesome Mondays run was increadable all the Fancydress and Mini decoraed it great to see and created a real carival atmoshere. It never ceases to amaze me how many people stand at the side of the roads to watch us go by and support the CHSW.
The Big Sheep was brillant not only did they give anyone reduced etance fees but unlimited free returns for the wekk!! And then they opened up their indoor play area fexcluidvely for thoose on the LGT and it was free.
I would like to say thank you to everyone Terry, Linda, THe motorbike Marshalls, My Fellow Mini Marshalls, THe Big Sheep , Everyone who took part in the LGT and the 1000's of members of the public who stood at the side of the roads to support us.
I'll be back next year and also have my name down for the lejog next year

it was brilliant! some 'snapshots' of my LGT include:
The Vince clone looking after our camp site. Every time I looked there was a Vince busy doing something (he/they were very generous with his/their jumbo nuts too.....)
The camp site - massive, safe for kids to run around and apparently with good trees to climb (and until the sun came out, my new wellies! )
Watching Luke collecting money at the carnival - he's very... er... direct (poor kid must take after his grandmother...)
The Big Sheep - so many from there - Mark sat in the middle of a jumping pillow giggling like a girl, trying to get up, Chris screaming like a girl going down the drop slide, Richard saying he wouldn't go down the slide and then going down repeatedly when Luke asked if he was going again..., tying ourselves in knots on the carousel (we got told off when we tried it on another visit mind you)
Flo's masterpiece Bill and Ben and the Shaun the sheep mini
The fantastic sunshine (finally) on a bank holiday monday
The random pockets of people dotted around the country side as we drove by
The amount of money raised
I'm sure there are more...

Why oh why is it so long til the next one ??? This one was absolutely brilliant and I can't stop thinking about it....especially when I go and look at the U-Tube footage which has been posted. LNDGT is always a totally magical experience for me. Long may it continue
