Good morning everyone! 9.15am and we're in bed with a cuppa - the first of many this weekend! Am I right @Tearoom?

Our plan is to pack the car, then clean the car, then off we go! We're hoping to get to the campsite at about 2pm, and relax!

I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone...

...while @Andrea puts up the tent

I should get there about 2ish, I was going to stop at a supermarket around Salisbury, but just seen there could be a shopping trip around 5ish, so I will hang on.
Remember to put the tent up before you start drinking!!
Safe journey everyone.

I was going to stop at a supermarket around Salisbury

If you did do that, there is a fantastic sausage shop in the center of town who make their own.
Big selection.

Edit: Scratch that, just read this......
The Salisbury Sausage Shop in the Maltings has shut down.
For those of you who have visited Salisbury in the past 5 years you would probably seen
The Salisbury Sausage Shop, which is now closed for various reasons out of our control.

Washed ready to head down to the camp site. Managed to bag a space in someones tent, so I'll be kipping over tonight

Wow, what a great way to spend a weekend. It was my first time meeting most of you and you made me feel so welcome.
Thanks to @Mac Romans for organising and thank you to @Nodzed for letting me sleep in his bed last night, I'm glad to say it stayed up all night and was only a little softer in the morning. But hey, that's the fun of camping!

Just like to add, I wasn't there and he is referring to the air bed

And your welcome mate

Let's not let facts get in the way of a good story.

I left this thread as soon as I saw that post...
If I had commented, then we would all be in NSFW by now....

Well the whole thing has been awesome. Thanks to all the intrepid adventurers who braved to wilds (and the snoring) to sleep on deflating air beds amongst the wildlife. By wildlife I mean @Beemer Boy!

Massive thanks to @Tony M for supplying the BBQ and tools to cook with.

I'd been looking forward to this for months and it was one of the rare occasions when something turns out even better than I'd been Hoping.

I loved it and I hope you all did too. Same time next year?

Fantastic weekend, The gods were good to us weather wise,
Big thank you to @Mac Romans and family for sorting out the BBQ and the cruise down.
Thank you also @GazHyde for arranging tickets and a wonderful spot at the show
Then to the detailing crew, what can I say- Fanatical.... Getting woken buy @Nodzed at around 05:30 Saturday morning getting his car ready, he was not the only one mind, I think we were all up by around 06:00 this after several hours cleaning Friday on the camp site.
I have learnt so much again this weekend from talking to friendly people from this forum, people only too happy to share their experiences and willing to help out. By god, my car has never looked so clean.
On the way home today I even stopped off at Halfords to get a a load more Meguires detailing stuff, a new alloy wheel brush and cleaning mop that @Mac was using....

I cant wait til next year, Great campsite, great show and more importantly , a great bunch of people

Well I had a great time eating drinking and chatting, that's what makes these meets great, the social side, really enjoyed it thank you @Mac Romans for organising everything and everyone else there, @S54addict you're a very funny guy enjoyed the jest with you.

If its on next year I will definitely come for the BBQ, chat and fun but sorry IMO camping is crap B&B and a taxi for me next time


EDIT:
@Tearoom you can keep the blow up thingy

and if anyone want a new used only once 5 man tent for free just shout (not posting so collect on a meet only)
