40th anniversary photos - view from the east
more pictures from the event sent by Kubota Hiromichi in Japan
Just when you thought it was all over, one of the visitors to
the event, Kubota Hiromichi (who you can find pictured in the restaurant for
the Saturday night meal near the start of the Arnhem report) sent me a pack
of goodies in the post from Japan. Included were these pictures from the Saturday
tour and back at the campsite. Here's me and my brother setting off from the
windmill.

And a couple more cool pics from when we drove off the car ferry.

Me and my moist tent again - basically the story behind this is
that my sister (pictured), her boyfriend and my brother, all kept having hysterics
at my expense, because this tent appeared to have no method of protecting against
rain. It leaked through and left the inside rather damp - I protested that it
was a superior design with a clever humidifying system but I couldn't stop them
making constant jibes all weekend.

Finally another picture from the restaurant during the celebration dinner,
with my sister and Will on the left, my brother in the foreground and the
back of my head on the right. Fortunately I kept my face out of this one whilst
I indulged in chips or whatever it was we were served.
