If anyone has any 3/4 heater hose, I could do with some to make the Golf’s heater work (unless it’s airlocked). Will pay in beer money/random Haynes manuals and brochures. 
Local factors couldn’t help!

Due to a change in circumstances, won’t be able to come today, so tomorrow it is unfortunately 😔

Safe trip to the travelling shiters. I've been chopping* wood for a camp fire and just bought a load of lager and food for the trip. 

I'll be using a tent that I've never erected but it's supposed to be a pop up one - we'll see. The photo shows the closest thing to instructions I've found! 

Hopefully the Friday night massif will get the campsite rocking, ready for the Saturday slow coaches. 

Master Grogee excited for the event and hoping to find a playmate to kick a football around with.

I hear the Telford to Much Wenlock road is currently shut so come via Bridgnorth if you're passing Telford.

Right, I'm setting off. There in about 3 hours. Keep chopping @grogee

Be there about 4:30. Spent an age trying to bleed the Golf’s cooling system, then thought the M6 was a good idea.

Seem to have acquired a lovely virus and feel like deth. That's me out. 😒

Have fun and I hope the air contains less liquid than last year!

That's a bummer @PicantoJon. Get well soon. 

For my part I've packed the car for camping and I've stocked up at Tesco. Cooler blocks are in the freezer and so is the export lager. 

I found some label sheets that should allow us to write name labels - however I'm not there until tomorrow afternoon so you'll all have to refer to each other as 'mate' until then. 

How muddy is the site? Should I bring wellies? #glastoflashbacks

Lin and I are still hard at work in North Yorkshire. However we hope to be on the road by about 5.30. Save us a good spot!

Apologies, I have not had chance to wash the new vehicle since we got it, but it might be too dark to tell by the time we get there anyway... I would like to get us there in daylight if we can.

Pulled something in my back so a 6hr drive and sleeping in a car will no doubt do me a world of good*.

First spot of the trip, at Annandale services.

We've set off, and had our first mechanical problem - water pump on the LT appears to have stopped pumping :-(

 

 

 

 

 

 

We may have to resort to the foot pump in order to wash up and brush teeth!!

I will say this now, there is something magical/ethereal/prehistoric about a Gathering of People around a camp fire in the dark. Looking forward to tomorrow night. 

Also, the scotch are barking.
