The sheep have now evacuated the field of dreams. I'm busy tonight and still work tomorrow but things should move over once the first people arrive.

Looks great, thank you.

[Schaefft]

I've updated the first post with the address and easy instructions to get there. I'll leave it up until Sunday afternoon.

[chaseracer]

There was a slim possibility I might have made it for Sunday, but that has now disappeared 😢

See all y'all some other time!

I have the essentials packed.

I've managed to get the Toledo serviced this week so I'll be down for the Saturday only. 30 degree heat forecast and a car with vinyl seats WCPGW 🤣

[KruJoe]

Thanks @Schaefft for your organising. We'd love to come, thankyouplease!

Lin (the current MrsKJ) and I are making our best efforts to join the fun at some point on Saturday evening for beers and car camping, and will probably partake in the Scotland loop convoy on Sunday. 

I've just finished taking six of the seats out of the D:5 so we should have a bit more room this time. 

Really looking forward to it 😊 

[davidfowler2000]

Mostly done. Fridge is current running off stored solar to chill overnight

[tooSavvy]

As I'm 'only' just along the road.... What is planned for Sat?

Motor show 🤔

I think it's a great idea, I wanted to check it out at some point anyway, might as well go together!

[auntiemaryscanary]

See you all later, setting off shortly. I'm aiming to be there 5.30-6pm. A fair few stops/errands to do on the way.

[Sunny Jim]

The Grim Sleeper, The Travelling Whippet and I are about to set off. Christ it's hot in the hearse.

I'll have to give the weekend a miss unfortunately, but I was only a tentative anyway.

The field looks a lovely location @Schaefft

[tooSavvy]

Howay, then! 😮

Anyone dropped a cufflink down the P-Loo [..yet]

👀👍

[auntiemaryscanary]

It's lovely here. @Schaefft is a grand fella.

Sad to be missing out on the first night this time.  Hopefully we'll be there and set up well before dark tomorrow.

It will be too hot, but definitely potential for horseflies and ticks.

Don't worry, burning the IKEA shelf has filled the field with toxic smoke, the midges situation has improved significantly.

(can't see the smoke there)

Nobody likes short people anyway

are you trying to funnel the ikea smoke into the toledo to replace the lucas smoke??

I am refrigerating some rhubarb wine for tomorrow 

 

*I know it looks a bit like piss in that pic but it's definitely slightly pink like there's blood in it, and it's definitely more than 12%
