stuartbert two hats Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 One great thing about WP is that the ground doesn't turn to mud after a shower, what with there not being a quarter of a million people there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got throws to line the sleeping bags. Also have spare bits of ground sheet to keep the dampness off equipment. All systems go and leaving tomorrow evening for an overnight drive , breakfast at brewers Fayre , a wander around the town then off to the farm for 11 check in. Military precision planning. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know! My father used to say that too you know, when we were kids and we wanted to go to Burnham on Sea or somewhere. He’d say, “Why do you need to go away on holiday? This is such a special place. There’s no point going anywhere else.” No one tell him his Dad just didn't want to take them to Burnham on Sea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been an odd day today , I am about half hour drive away. Glorious sunshine with fluffy clouds and warmth that makes you want to be outside, then dark pissing it down and having to put sleeves on. Nightmare to plan for with kids on holiday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unload car then park it in car park? Getting ready to leave home, car packed, extra wellies added, waterproof trousers, those see through mushroom shaped umbrellas , the full Glasto bad weather protection kit. Hope the bar has shelter.

Charlie Rabbit Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 Yep - car currently parked on track running through camping field. Has been there for a couple of hours - no one has complained yet! Rain has turned into a slow drizzle now and sun is breaking through so we’re off to unload and move to proper car park. Not found the bar yet but that’s next on the list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
