8 days after arriving I am on my final load out of what was an amazing competition that brought together the full spectrum of outdoor cooking!

Shower, real meal then I will catch-up on my backlog of messages, emails and paperwork. If something is still outstanding on Thursday morning then ping me.

Thanks everyone for an amazing event!
