Yep, that pretty much sums it up mate. Genius.
#2 // Glen Swinfield // 30/09/08

You omitted “dawnraidbeeftheft” but apart from that, classic.
#3 // Greg // 30/09/08

Ah shite it, I knew I was going to forgot one classic. It’s too ingrained in image to change it now, and I can’t be arsed anyway. Good call though.

That’s champion, Greg. And Colly’s and Glen’s write-ups too. Esprit de corps. Only Erskine reaches the parts other design teams cannot reach.

Cheers Owen - you know that we always try to do things a little differently, and camping during late September in North Yorkshire must be evidence of that!
#6 // Chris // 20/10/08

Hadn’t seen this yet, I agree with Glen the only thing missing is Bevis’ criminal escapades.

Sorry but that is some seriously sissy like camping!

Where is the proper fire? Where is the boat? Where are the fishing rods?

Also why are you called Erskine? We are based in Pasiley which is next door to Erskine!

I think you’re thinking of fishing mate. It’s quite a lot different than camping - here’s the wiki page for your reference.

Thanks so much for your constructive and considered comment.

No probs. Just having a laugh ;-)

I like the work you and Erskine are doing. Far more original and fun than some of the projects that go on in Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Anyway here is what I was talking about!

Also you never answered my question - why Erskine?

@Peter Johnstone from Pasiley:

Deliverance. Nice.
