After the fun had gone down and everyone had a bit of a chill, we then headed back to The Pilgrim for the after party.


Thank you again for everyone who came out for the days events and also to our proud sponsors who took faith in us to put on a good show. Also to Chicken and Kent for the tunnel footage/edit and their partaking in the days planning.
