Good show actually, if you're keen on going travelling some way in your 4x4.
Some interesting stuff going on.

I've had my weekend schedule through and am free for it so will be heading down to look at RTTs.
It'd be good to have a bit of a meet.
That's funny i was talking to shmbo the other day about going to this, but it is dependent on whether I've had my operation or not which is due in September.
So we'll have to wait and see

The set up is that there is a huge car park that will never in a month of Sundays be full. No lists to organise, no limits of numbers just turn up on the day.
Get in contact with each other on the day, then move the trucks to another part of the car park, light the barbecue and get the beers out of the fridge (Banshee can get the kettle on and sit leeward of me). :D

Probably, it's a couple of hours' drive and I'll have the full weekend off. There's not two days worth of exhibits, but a Saturday wander followed by barbecue, beers and chilling with a relaxing Sunday am either at the showground or tourism in Stratford sound like a winnner to me. :clap
Then again at £50.00... :eek:

I'll be up for this. Problem is I'd only been home after 2 week training so not sure it'll go down well with the family:doh

I'll pop this back up here as we're a litle closer to the date. I'm still looking at getting down on The Saturday, staying over and heading homewards on the Sunday.
Last time I was there they took cash for the Saturday night camping, so significantly cheaper than the website charge.
I'm going on the Sunday and meeting with blocky
I'll be there for a little bit on Sunday to collect 2 roof racks now :lol

We were thinking of Taking the caravan to Iceland in the summer holidays but £3k ferry from Denmark and told the caravan couldn't take the roads. So seeing what's about. Was thinking Demountable but thats a bit tight for 5 of us. Would love a king cab mog with over cab bed and then convert the cab for more beds. But just up there looking. Oh and taking in a few seminars.

Best man at a wedding on Sunday so I've got to behave :( about 2hrs 40 I think for me, I'm gonna set off early so I can see a decent amount when I'm there.

Cool, it'll be good to have a look round your truck.
@wheelie, more of an informal meet, if you're there, a we can meet kind of thing.

Truck loaded ready for an earlyish AM departure. Will be using the docking tent (and new blackout inner), which will frowned upon as it's a Decathlon special, but who cares...
Just need food now. :)
Is Zac still heading down?

Good to see T-Doug again and meet Mr and Mrs Wheelie.
Hope Banshee got down to pick up the roof racks Neil.
Great little show, great big prices. I won't be going again as long as they want to rip me off.
