Maybe, just maybe I heard that George may be making his first outing this year. He has given up with the Hokey Cokey engine (in out in out get it?) and has put his old, worn but working engine in to get MOT on Friday.

Fingers crossed as he has already missed Stoneleigh, IBW and NEWS due to a long list of issues with his engine build and poor quality, supposedly good quality,  'new' parts.

I haven't even unpacked the trailer tent since last weekend in hope of making an early start next week. Can't wait.

Snowy and I are thinking of doing this event, any ideas if we can hire a trailer tent...??

HI Jazzy,

Welcome back to the UK. Not sure if you can hire trailer tents but there are loads of B and B's within walking distance of the camp area, although whether they still have any vacancies?

It is a great event and worth doing if you have never been before.

I have a decent large tent you are more than welcome to borrow.

I will have no room in the buggy to carry it down so will need to get it to you before. (Easily done) I'm in the buggy on my own (with a smaller tent this year) ;-)up

Hi Guys,
Janet, Myself and Ratitude will be coming again this year,
Will b arriving Friday night but we are booked into a B &B instead of camping this year but it is only 500yards from the camp site.
Flags are you OK with us leaving the buggy and trailer at the campsite as parking space is limited.

Thanks Chad.
We missed some of the fun at stoneleigh because we took the B&B option, as lovely as it is.
Have found a place that hires trailer tents, but have to go to Dunstable to collect it....
Looking at putting hitch on buggy or maybe bring range rover to pull the trailer tent instead.

Do we need to reserve a pitch....??

Thanks Andy, really appreciate the offer. I am a fussy tart and do not like sleeping on the ground, I can't help it..... So we thought of a bit of glaring with a trailer tent or even a type 2 plus the buggy to run around in, whilst down there.....

Dunstable??? euh? Do we know anyone who works in Dunstable? (I think they have a design and printing company there, I think......? )

Give us a shout when you are popping over! ;)  ... Im just up the road from the village where you will be hiring it from.

Jazzy. Give flags a call or mail. He lives that way and may know of something. The difference at Swanage is there are B and B within 100 yes of the site...easy staggering distance.

Good Afternoon All,
New to the forum but met a few of you at Stoneleigh on the Sunday and we happen to be free the weekend of the 25th so thinking I'll drag the buggy down with the camper and join you all.
Do I need to pre book and pre pay for the camping? 2 of us, T4 and FF Buggy?
Thanks,
Mark
