New England Bay 2012

So....... for the last dozen years or so we have spent a couple or three weeks in the summer on the Mull of Galloway camping and boating. Every year the same crowd pitches up and we all look forward to catching up. Then there is the ribbing. So here are a few pic of our 2012 New England Bay.................

Whilst we didn't take part, we saw the Ribs that came into Portpatrick from Donaghadee on the annual Rib Raid......There's always next year!

The porpoises were too quick for the photographer!

Kerny,
yep good fun had by all and I suppose in boating terms we've all grown up at NEB. It is the caravan club site that we stay on so when I say camping I actually mean a box on wheels...........!

not sure of dates.......in fact not sure if Easdale is happening next year but it seems a popular event so assuming something will happen. No doubt someone on here will tell us? There is another thread running http://www.rib.net/forum/f18/oban-we...3-a-50555.html but not sure if this is a private venture or if anybody is welcome.

Previously, ERR - Easdale RIB Rendezvous, has taken place over the May Bank Holiday Weekend - I seem to recall that the organiser Tony Hill has suggested the same weekend in 2013.

Edit - See his post here: Linky
