If I could make the dates due to swapping my access to my lad I don't possess a tent either so I'd be sleeping in the van or car.

I have a tent you can borrow mate.

Is there a rule somewhere that says we're only allowed one Shitefest...?

I think I have a moldy orange canvas tent from the 1970's, which I wouldn't ever want to sleep in again.

How about we each pitch the worst tent we could find in front of our cars, and sleep in the cars anyway? We'd get away with doing that, wouldn't we?

I have a fucking massive dome tent. It's big enough to sleep 8, and campsite owners dislike it, because it and a Volvo equal two pitches. I know, you'd think they wouldn't, but...

Anyway, as long as it's dry it would be fine. It's not so handy in the rain!

Do you think they will mooch around at 2am shinning a torch into people's cars to check.

I think being a commercial campsite it might be more tightly controlled than previous event.

 

So do I just knock this on the head as a non viable option and send Bub out to find a field by a pub?

 

 

Yes, the bubble car website is worryingly wanky and gives me TEH FEAR.

No car sleeping is standard in official camp sites. They might not allow commercial vehicles either.

 

 

Camping and Caravan Club allow sleeping in cars.

They are pretty official.

Dunno, but if they do and kick me off site, I'm too far away from home to not be a tad grumpy about it, and possibly too drunk to drive depending on what mood makes to drink...

Bollocks to that, they sound weird.  And not AS-weird, either.  Field behind a pub or in the middle of nowhere is fine with me.

Unless we want to go back to Llangollen? That had everything you could want, with the exception of a hooning road. Nice and easy to get to too.

That fella seemed keen to have us back. I think he was quite amused by us. Bub loved all those Morgans too.

That's half the battle. He knows what to expect from us and he's fine with it. The 150mph cartie was good too.

The morgans, won't somebody please think of the morgans

 

We didn't get much chance to think of anything else.

I enjoyed Wales. I'd love to find the narrow road up the steep hill with drops either side and the forest too. Was near that big bridge and castle where I fixed water leak with rubber glove.

Posted

If we go back to llangollen I'm sticking to the main roads, taking a scenic back road fucked me over thanks to motorbike twats!

 

I'm utterly easy though, but carping is a must

Posted

We could always take a scenic drive to Rhyl, I've heard it's a lovely place...

Mmm...Suncentre. Quality attraction.

OK so the feeling seems to be that the bubble car museum doesn't work for us. Is that a reasonable consensus?

 

I will say thanks but no thanks to Paula.

I think the lack of car camping has buggered it a bit tbh. I'll travel anywhere but if I can sleep in the car I drove there - even the 205 when I had it - it upsets my happiness a bit.

Tell Paula why she's lost a booking of probably 30 people, who would all have paid to go round the museum too. Maybe she will allow an exception.

 

If not we can go dump a gooner or astra on her driveway

I forgot about Llangollen, I'd be up for that again, we could do with better toilets though.

 

I've been having cheeky thoughts about buying a cheapy just to take to shitefest and ROFFLING it off afterwards to get my money back.

There were toilets there? I just walked down to the river for a wee...

Posted

I waited until we got to the hafod! We might need a plan b this year if we aren't going there on the second day though...

Posted

Im still a Yes but havent put my name down yet on the list as im confused as to where and when shitefest is.

Posted

Surely someone could charm this bubble car lady into allowing car kipping... not that it would be practicable for me in the MX5....

 

If not Llangollen is more convenient for my attendance anyway!

 

Once decisions are made I'll probably be in. Either date is doable for me!

I doubt that sleeping in a car will be a problem at the Bubblecar museum. I sleep in the back of my 'white panel van' each time I attend a rally there. The owners are really easy going and I would have thought they would welcome Shitefest.
