Just got back finally, 7 hours in my PJs for me... today was so fun, it was just completely mental at times, like getting 5 bockers in a phone box! We need our own section in the gallery for all the photos and videos taken today.... Think I could sleep for a week or so right now. *zzzzzz*

Chatting with him we discussed the idea of a meet in Mallorca at Easter next year ( have a think folks)

Peeps who were not there --u may think peeps look at you. I fear you just cant imagine what its like when parts of central london just stop and look

Some-one said 75 with ground crew.

Go ground crew! I managed to drag my boyfriend to this mad thing and everyone ended up leaning on him and giving him bags to carry... lol.

Cheers guys I am glad everyone had a good time and is completely knackered now, just as it should be ;D. It was a truly awesome meet and for those that couldn't make it....sorry for you. I think once you see the pics and vids you wont want to miss out next year. It will be the 3rd sunday of August so put it in your diary now! A huge thank you to all of you that turned up, I think the head count was 79 inc ground support. I am sure we can at least double that next year. Like bmthbloke said I think mallorca at easter will be a meet not to miss either. Finally a huge thanks to Sprog,Zackis and nurse Bobman for performing life saving surgery on my bocks. They managed to bring them back from the brink of death  ;D

Shame the queen was not in to see us !?
 
A flag always flies above Buckingham Palace. When The Queen is in residence, the Royal Standard flies. When the Sovereign is not present, the Union Flag flies instead. A flag serjeant has the role of raising and lowering the right flag as The Queen arrives at or departs from the Palace

Apparently she was out bocking  ;D

I need to make and print off some PJ info cards to give to people when they ask about them, save me saying the same thing all day.

Please no brand advertising, this event is non commercial. No info with regards to specific brands or prices of stilts. The Metropolitan Police have said its OK for the meet as long as it was not a commercial venture. All it really needs to have is web addy's for this and the other forum. People can then do their own research.

I'm saying nothing  !?

Not yet. He thought it was cool when I showed him mine, when he came yesterday he thought they were amazing. As soon as he gets the money he says he'll bo buying some. Ho loved the meet, even if he was a walk-along pillar for people but it was all in good fun.

If you are referring to 7leagues, they are down Hyde park every weekend promoting. I could hardly tell them that there usual patch was off limits because of capital bocking....

That was a great day out. It was nice to meet all of you. I got some great photos and videos. I'll put a link under a thread in the photos section. I took to many to post them all up here.

I'm amazed how good I feel today. I was expecting to feel the pain from yesterday today.
