Last year I managed to make one day of the International Rocket Weekend and thoroughly enjoyed myself, I decided that I should definitely try and make the whole weekend this year. Luckily for me I still had quite a few days holiday left so I took the Friday and Tuesday off work, the Monday was a Bank Holiday, built a few rockets and travelled back home to Scotland for the weekend.

So much happened on each day that I can't put it all on one page, you'd get bored reading it! So I've split it up into individual days where you can read what happened and see some of the photos that I took on that day. Unfortunately it rained on Sunday and Monday, so there aren't that many photographs from those two days, but I took plenty on Friday and Saturday so there are still quite a few to get through.

All in all it was a great weekend and without a doubt the largest gathering of UK rocketeers ever. There were some really impressive flights, at one point there were three J motor flights one after the other, something that's never happened before at a UK launch. Loads of people certified UKRA levels 1 and 2, myself included and everyone had a great time flying rockets with motors from ½A up to J size. I'm already looking forward to next years event, which I'm sure, will be bigger and better and still the UK's premier launch.

Because the report is so long I've split it up into four sections, one for each day I was there. I've lumped all the photos onto the one page so that they are easier to get at, although they are still split on the day they were taken.
