My 60th Birthday bash at The Craven Arms Beer Festival, Appletreewick, North Yorkshire - 16/17/18 October 15

Drink cider. Apples are one of your 5-a-day.

Cheers Martin  

Have a good weekend one all - hope the weather will be kind

Have a soopa time everyone drink lots of gin for me. Tim

Have a fab weekend everyone.

Have a blast boys and girls and look forward to carrying on the birthday celebrations in a couple of weeks. .

A great weekend with friends old and new, thanks Martin for providing the excuse for a celebration and thanks to you and Alison for picking up the bar tab on Saturday

Here's a few random shots





















Pass the wood (don't ask)



The ancient Yorkshire ritual of Fire Jenga practised in these parts since Saturday night where the aim is to balance your log vertically on top of the burning log before your nylon jacket catches fire  



Anyway, after we got back from A&E the party continued with music





The backing group.

There may even have been a game of pass the parcel in the dark (or I may have dreamt that bit)

A massive thank you to everyone who made my birthday so special. I've had a brilliant time with brilliant people. 

The cards and gifts were fantastic (and strangely, largely alcohol based). 

It was great to see you all, now follow Geoff's lead and get some photos up, I've got a Blog to write.

Looks like a 'flaming' good time was had by all
See at Halloween Abs

Fun stuff!!  Thrilled you all had a great time.

Just out of interest, what provided accommodation for the Dalesmen?

Retro Runaways, Babs was their home for the weekend.

That was a blast! Will get some pics posted once we've recovered a bit.

Thanks Martin and Alison we both had ace weekend fab site ace food beer and ace company and lots of laughs

Great weekend
Thanks for organising Martin and Ali
Great late night pikelets/crumpets on Saturday
Anyone else got wood splinters in their crotch?

Back home safe and sound.  Good to catch up with folks and meet some new faces

It was great to meet up with so many new friends. The fire pit party was great fun including pass the parcel, the wood chopping exploits, the lack of anyone falling in to the fire pit and our acapella version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Thanks to Martin for getting us all together. Maybe you can be 60 again next year. Our wee dog Zooey wants to be outside today & is missing Boris and Henry.

There were 3 (yes 3!) airstreams at the site, not including the little one they use as a site shop/office!

Sounds like there needed to be more pics of the Airstreams

Well that's a turn-up for the books, Yorkshiremen vote for Yorkshire beers! Should be a blind tasting.
