Martin, thanks for the photos and I am glad you were able to make it - at least X Marks was represented, even if by only one! Such a pity about the weather, but that is what we are having here in the United Kingdom this summer (Summer? Huh!). I keep thinking how very lucky we were with the rainless day at The Harpenden Highland Gathering the previous week.

Apart from the numbers attending (probably reduced as a result of the weather), how did Ashbourne compare with the Harpenden event? I have often wondered.

If your camera is still rusted up, immerse it in a vat of WD40 for a week or two - but PLEASE contact the manufacturer before taking my advice!!
