Or should I say Easter 'Snow'ball!!
Well....we lasted just over 24 hours!!
Arrived Friday lunchtime...Drove through the boggy field....and stopped on a relatively unmuddy bit. Got out and nearly got blown over!!!!
Despite the veeeeery strong wind, the sun was shining....so wrapped up in as many layers as humanly possible, and set off for the bank!
The mad but happy campers!!!
Got to watch some great racing....all credit goes to those racers....for racing in such strong winds!!!
This also included the VW Drag Racers...
Andy then pipes up with..."Blimey....he's got a big one!!"
So I subtly took a self portrait photo...making sure it included this guys 'big one'!!
A bit more racing followed...
All of a sudden, we heard some gasps....and saw one of the nostalgia dragsters shoot out the end of the fire up lane....hitting another one in its path....and crashing into the new 'barn'!!
This is the new replacement barn (now used for equipment storage etc) before the accident...
And this was the scene after...
*I think they may struggle to open that fourth electric door!!!!*
As you can see....we were one of the few people stillstupid brave enough to camp this Easter!!!
They carried on the racing until dusk...
Finishing with a jet car...
Then it was back to the van for dinner...homemade bolognese with pasta.....yummy!!
After realising we had left one of the boards which makes up the bed at home,
Andy improvised, using another board, and unscrewing the buddy seat, and moving it slightly. Anyway....we eventually got the bed set up!
Watched a DVD....put on a few more layers....and settled in for the night!!
We actually slept really well!!
(Despite the fact the bus was being blown about a fair bit!!)
Next morning and we wake up to rain....then sleet, then hail, then snow showers!!! However....there was still sunshine in between....really weird weather!!
And when your feet are cold....this is a great way to warm them up!!

So rather than paying out £25 for one day (How expensive?
