Bristol Volksfest weekend

[sparkywig]

Cracking weekend, and very hot at times. Nice large new site with hardstanding for the trade area, although the drop from the access roads onto the camping fields was a bit worrying. :lol:
Hello to all the faces I've put to the names now.

In "convoy" with creationblue on Friday.

Base camp with creationblue and tiki-al

Not many early bays in the display areas, although a nice a/c setup on this Oz bus

Great show and great weekend. Twas good to pop by Camp Brizzle too

A quick glance into the Show and Shine Field and I spotted the dove blue sub hatch Westy that had been detailed beyond beleif ... it was amazing. After that I didnt want to look at any others! :shock:

Only downer was the track to exit the site which was way too rough and rutted for lowered vehicles, but I realise that logistics dictate these things and its a minor niggle.

That dove blue Westy was insured for £55k :shock:

I had charging issues on the way, replaced the generator warning lamp to sort that, and swapped over to another battery to get me home.
However, I never connected the fuel cut-off solenoid feed and only got as far as halfway round the exit field. :lol:

It was pretty hectic, my front beam made a hell of a sound going through the gate, I was not happy :evil:

I had a good look underneath and all seemed fine although the steering felt a bit weird after
Good job the Slamwerks or T2D Bays weren't there

ha! yeah... i got stuck on the way out too... the grass track round the edge of the show and shine field.... there was a huge rut right the way across it.... took some time to negotiate!!! think some of the field may still be attached to the bottom of my bus!!!!

top weekend tho..... saturday nite band were awesome.... as was the late night treacle tart and custard form the cookin' camper! show and shine was a bit poor on the aircooled turnout i thought?!? 2 thirds of a field of waterpumpers....

ahhhh wel!
