David said he was going along to his and Bev’s favourite camping spot and would anyone like to join. So we decided to travel up and test everything out prior to New Year.

David & Bev, Debs, Brendan, Andy63, RalpnBev, BigTree, fantastic spot right on the beach and solid ground.

Electrics went again after SMC replacing 60A fuse, luckily I had the inverter batteries on board and switched them over. The Gels appeared fine but when under the load TV turned on the voltage dropped right down to 9-10v and the tv turned off. Replaced Batteries on the site took a couple of hours but all working in the end.

We left on the Monday, would return.

Met up with a number MHF at Shrewsury Showground great spot, organised by Martin and J (funflair). David,Bev, Debs, GranJan, Jenben Andy63 all turned up.

Tried the kayak and made the decision to sell it and get a proper inflatable, very unstable.

Very admiring of GranJan and Martins.

Went on the evening ghost tour, it was alight not exactly my cup of tea and not very ghostly.

Blenheim Countryfile 2017

[geo_mashup_map height=”200″ width=”500″ zoom=”11″ add_overview_control=”false” add_map_type_control=”false”]

Travelled to Blenheim meeting up with Alistair and Julie on the A34, stayed at the CC&C site for the duration of the show. Thought we would be near the show but the sites was in a large field a good 50 minute walk from the show entrance, they laid on Buses each day which was good but really a complete con. We used our wind breaks and the Quest pop up to create our own enclave only to have a jobsworth warden stating there had to be 6 meter gap for emergency vehicles.

Weather was OK but windy and on the Saturday it rained.

Show was also a bit of rip off, charge you for entrance and then just try to sell you stuff, myself and Alistair tried to go without buying any food or drink just surviving on the free samples, almost managed it but towards the end of the day had a pint and burger.

On the Sunday A&J headed off home and we moved to Bladon Chains the CMC site, turns out we were just 2 minutes form the Country file show entrance and the sites had spaces??
