National Rally update

Post by LouiseM »

Just to let you know that the website camping area is to the right when you come through the main entrance. Look out for the union flag! Loads of camping space available.

Anyone know if there are showers located anywhere near the camp site?

The showers have arrived. They're not particularly close to the camp site but the positioning means that they will be open 24 hours rather than just for a limited time morning & evening.

Hope you have a good journey. My 230 mile trip took just under 5 hours with a couple of stops so you should be here by midnight.

So is there a "special" area for the website users?

Not exactly a special area but a reserved space so that website members can camp together if they wish, which gererally they do.

We had a wonderful time, left at 14:30, after Punch and Judy, got home around 6 after a diversion off the M62. Defiantly something we'd do again but with a trailer tent, can't believe that it took us as long to erect the tent and pump up beds as it did to drive there.....

It was great meeting you all, hope all goes well with your drives home and see you soon at another meet....

Well done the Scottish Lads! You should have called in at the Moffat show - on your way back up the road!

I went on the Sunday. Glorious weather.

Met up witha lot of old friends or should that be friends of old.

Recognised Louise M's car (with the roof rack) and thought I would introduce myself only to find she has a very nice twin sister!

Oh well maybe next time! :D

Cheers Ian
