Shitefest Shropshire 12-14th July

16,635 · June 19

Will there be a camp fire? I have loads of old decking I can chop up and bring.

13,217 · June 19

Several small fire pits is the plan so that would be great.

6,247 · June 19

Likelihood of arrival is increasing. At worst I have to work Friday morning and come down in the afternoon.

June 19

Looking increasingly unlikely that the Carina will make it to Shitefest, but I'll try to arrange for alternative transport in case things continue to go sideways.

That's a shame 😔

Dacia won't be there either and the modern Focus might not last that long (clutch is dieing), at this rate I might have to walk!

Having now done the depot static training, all I can say is that if you can understand Bosch K-Jetronic injection* then you'll be able to wrap your head around the brake system in an HST.

Practical handling on the main line starts next week and the first journey I will do with one will be to bring it from Cadder depot in to Queen St - down one of, if not the, steepest gradients in Scotland towards a buffer end... with a brake system that needs 3 weeks and a telegram printed off in triplicate before it'll react to any controls. Yay!

I’m afraid I can’t copy and paste easily on the phone. Please can a kind person add me properly:

25: Anthony G, Friday to Sunday, staying offsite in an hostelry both nights. Arriving in mystery* vehicle.

*not a mystery if you read the modern tat section.

17,869 · June 27

Asking if there will be an on site shower will be a push... but will there be some sort of running water/tap/hose/potable water? Might do the local parkrun on Saturday morning...

10,327 · June 27

Right I’ll be trying my bloody best to make it

i must completely admit my mental health hasn’t been the best lately and it’s affected my standard of driving

I don’t feel comfortable doing a long journey, I hope to be well enough and I’ll certainly do my best to come as I really enjoyed 2022

There's a small block with a shower/loo/ little kitchen and I've ordered a portaloo.

22,045 · June 28

Aye, just to confirm I'll be leaving Sat night. Is there any sort of curfew on vehicle movements (it won't be massively late as the Golf is a bit loud, it only has one silencer)?

13,217 · June 28

No fixed curfew and late arrivals are fine but it would be good if we don't upset the neighbours with too much noise late on.
