I did TG in 2005 but didn’t join TT until the summer that year so not in the photo.
Of people I’ve met, there’s:
Daz
Sue
Ray
ed_m
I think one might be Brian of Bozeat?
The first time I met Daz was on a rope above a large cold lake on TG2006. He apologised for holding me up.
I’ll look for some photos tomorrow

I will admit I miss Tough Guy.
I think it’s Bruiser on the very left of the second photo and (possibly) Big Bopper, centre top (in black).
The photos of me and Daz on the rope will have been lost in the TT1.0 meltdown, I can’t find a copy.
a hot air balloonist…design his own…
not in the photo above…

Great days. Enjoyed the events, and the drinks in London.
I was having a read of the wikipedia page the other day. A few deaths, lots of injuries, pneumonia. I hated jumping in the freezing cold water. Didnt mind the flaming hay bails and being electrocuted…but I HATE the cold lol

Some of our best days Daz - I loved the cold water- for obvious reasons and remember the option of swimming under the bridge for a piece of string?
The meet ups in London were legendary

Done it once. Foul.
The highlight was wading through a river, reaching down and feeling something fleshy.
Called out to the Marshall that there might be someone in here…
…. He replied not to worry. It was just a dead cow.

did it twice - had to go back again to see how frigging mad I was to do it once! Took Mrs FB on the return trip to do it - she was not best pleased but still did it.

Four time finisher myself … 2002, 2005, 2006 & 2007.
Came about 50th the final two years (exact placings were never all that accurate), I think the race results I’m most satisfied with overall.
