What a great day, let me be the first to say, a big thank you to Jimmbo for leading the way. and Laura for the 'Official Gate opener'
I am sure I can speak for all in saying we all had a great time.
Abandon ship comes to mind.

Great Pictures Mr Vette.
I have done most of those routes in the past and in fact (I think) fell down that very hole that 'Rex' ended up in.  |

Here are a few of mine
Now some from day 2
Here is a photo of Sean in his Isuzu, a complete stranger who asked if he could tag along...
Strata in the snow
There was a snowball fight too...
There was loads of snow at Strata
Had a great time and Strata in the snow was amazing. Jim thanks for organising it.

That would be Jimbo who led and his girlfriend Laura who opened the Gates 
Thanks also to blobrob's sisters Gosia and Anya for closing them.
No less thanks to Tommo and Claire and everyone else for that matter for making the day what it was though.
When I get back from the Alps I'm gonna make you all sorry you missed day two by posting up all my pictures and vids 
Take two, (without the dented door  ) should hopefully happen before summer if anyone's interested.
