10pm at night and the weather was horrendous and closing in fast with gales approaching 40 - 50 miles an hour at times throughout the night..

We were due to receive about months worth of rain of 2 days!! Lol… It was a pretty long night ahead but was glad to get through the night in one piece with the tent still in tacked!! Phew….  

Kev with third team mate Claire String…

We were feeling pretty tired at that point but we were still smiling in high spirits!  The ground was completely saturated with water and muddy.. It reminded me of days of Glastonbury in 1997 for any one that was there!! Lol…

Team mate Jo sorting out the inside part of the tent in readiness for a long night ahead!!

Scott our camera man looking cool and getting set up for the day with a mug of tea and a bacon sandwich in hand!! You would never know he’s only had 2 hours sleep with the weather!

Kev Guest Speaking to Year 12/13 on their Celebration of Achievement Awards held on the 12th November at the Deer Park School. Around 350 – 400 pupils and their families were intending the Celebration Evening.

I wanted to take a picture before the hall started to fill in case I wasn’t allow to use the photo..
