Arranged to stay at Wigrams Camping in Southam, with part of the family.

Alistair & Julie, Rachel, Jamie,Gemma, Chris, Neil, Jacqui, Lawrence, Lorna, Katie and Chad.

Everyone arrived on Friday evening, Ali & Julie along with Rachel and Jamie in Jamie’s dad caravan had already pitched up, slotted into our prearranged space. We then put up the event shelter between the 2 vans and their awnings.

We then put up the tents.

Jemma and Chris arrived next followed by Katie and Chad, and finally Lawrence and Lorna. Once all arrived we had the pre cooked Chilli and Rice.

We went to bed about 23:30.

Next day slowly awoke off breakfast we decided to move the tents as the people nearby had been quite late and the kids had woken really early.

New layout much better more inclusive and feels more private.

Then took ourselves off for a walk to the Calcutt Boat yard, thought there was a cafe but turns out to be an art gallery and shop. Pleasant enough and worth it just see Julie crossing a lock gate twice!

Upon return Boule sets were dug out and a couple of games ensued. Chad had to leave to fly to China, Katie took him and later that evening returned.

BBQ set up and cooked using the big Car as which was excellent, cooked everything easily, set it up in the Quest popup which worked very well.

Quieter eve, in bed about 23:30.

Next day cooked up bacon again and then packed up took ages, but easy with many hands.

Weather all weekend was fantastic, hot, dry with clear skies.

All decided it went well, Wigrams had too many tents booked in and the one shower was not enough.
