I've just enjoyed a couple of pints at lunchtime. Just popped back into the office to wrap something up quickly, then I'm on my way north.

The closely guarded details of Saturday's mystery tour were gradually revealed. We started at the Anderton boat lift, a marvel of industrial revolution achievement: http://www.andertonboatlift.co.uk/Then on to the Antony Gormley 3km x 1km "sculpture" at the beach at Crosby: http://www.sefton.gov.uk/Default.aspx?page=6216Then we went onto Blackpool for fish and chips, and the fabled Blackpool Illuminations. All of which had been on my list of things to do for a while, so well done Cris and Andy. A throughly British day out... (photos to follow, my hotel broadband connection seems to be lacking somewhat in the broad department)

Ah, don't for get the Albert Docks. Although I didn't see much of that as I had to stay guard on the mini buses, it was Liverpool after all Cheers Cris.

Doh ! It is amazing the effect two and a half pints of Guinness in the afternoon can have on the memory...

What a grand day out! Cris, Andy and the girls worked so hard to achieve such a perfect day: Both in the preparation, and on the day. An imaginative itinerary of things I've always meant to do! Well Done. I decided that I couldn't hobble around Manchester on Sunday morning, so I've taken my doctor's advice and come home to put my feet up. The final clincher was when there was no hot water in the Ibis! Apologies to everyone for not saying goodbye.

I've just got home, and I wanted to echo this sentiment. I've had a great weekend. The mystery tour was phenomenal, and I was sorry to have to rush off so soon.

A Big Thank You To Everyone

Nicola and I would just like to thank everyone for making the effort to come to the event. I know travelling was a problem for most people this year, but I hope it was worth it The high point for me was walking on Crosby Beach, it's the best part of a British day out when the Sun comes out just when you need it to. It was great to see everyone enjoying themselves, I know I had a great time and I always thought the organisers were supposed to have a rubbish time! Although I can't remember when I was this tired before. A big thanks to Rob S, Patrick and Pim for helping out this afternoon and bringing some interesting things for us to play with. Without your input Andy and I would have surely crashed and burned! See you all next year, I enjoy being able to play the feely bag game again... Cheers Nicola & Cris PS - Not having a camera with me I have no photo's so if people could share a few with me I would be most grateful

Here is a fairly low quality attempt at a panoramic view of the Sunday meet (click for a larger version). Looking at the photo I've just remembered how good the steak and ale pie was, now I'm hungry

Feel free, I did try creating a larger one, but then all the joins and the noise start to show up too much. I need an external flash...

Glad to hear you got back ok, I think that is everyone home safely then (although Chris is still on holiday so technically not home yet!)
An update on the XL t-shirts, another order has been placed and I can pick them up on Monday, I will ship them out next week.
Thanks again to everyone, and thanks for the great pictures!
Cheers
Cris.

Despite being totally knackering, I had such a great time and pretty much enjoyed every single minute of it. I only took a few pics with my phone so it's probably not worth posting them!
