got home about 3pm ................had to leave early as working tonight
................it was a fantastic evening as always with a great bunch of folks ..........and like Silly b said huge thanks to Adam and Paula for putting up with us again
...................I decided on taking the car after seeing the forcast was horrendous all the way across the country but had glorious sunshine nearly all the way there and only hit a couple of showers when about 30 miles away .................. just got my tent pitched when it started to rain so grabbed my coat out of the back of the car and took shelter with the others under the gazebos etc ................................the rain then came down heavier than i think i've ever seen it before including at one stage leaving the ground white over with hailstones.
It came down that fast that a river of water ran across the field running straight through a few of the tents
Only lasted about 30 mins though and then it was tshirt weather all the way through the evening right up to 2am
My plan of using the car to save getting a wet arse backfired though as in the rush to pitch my tent before the rain started i'd inadvertently left the drivers window open
......................so have had to sit on a pile of bin liners all the way home
