On the Road Again!

I booked to come to this show months and months ago as we wanted to have the electric hook-up. The alternative was to take the Bluetti and solar and cook on gas! The overnight before was on a CL at Rhodeside.  Blogged already. We arrived around 3pm on Thursday. The drive that TomTom suggested was terrible. The traffic was almost all the way from Swindon to Cheltenham.  No reason until the northernmost part where they are building a dual carriageway.  Never again. Avoid the A419 and 417. We were swiftly on pitch. Using the compass on my phone we made sure the fridge was facing north. We had a walk over to the site. One of many. There was live music in one on the halls. No dogs though. I got some lager tops and we sat outside to listen to the music. Over the next three days we made loads of trips over.  In the end we bought some new awning ties for the Dometic awning and then a Dometic windbreak. The new windbreak has to be better than the existing Vango. Saturday even...

The second booking for the summer rally/show season is to the west country and the Western Motorhome & Campervan Show! Held at at the Malvern Showground in August. We did the Norfolk Show in "Molly" in 2024 and decided to try a different one in 2025. We have been waiting for the tickets to come online and that appears to have been today. As it happens I was on the train into London to see the Arsenal play at the Emirates Stadium.  Don't panic.  The onboard WIFI was working. I had just clicked to book when we entered the Essex tunnel on our underground way to Stratford International!  Luckily it worked and we are booked.  This one is slightly more expensive than last year in Norfolk but that has to be expected with inflation etc. It actually works out at £37.50 a night with a pitch and EHU. Plus four nights of entertainment with a country music theme. Not that bad as we have paid more than that for some sites. I doubt I will be line dancing. But I do have a c...
