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

and a lot will be in cars this weekend with all their camping gear 
. The weather was on the whole kind to us and never really cold. What showers we had were sharp but short except for the deluge (but even that was relatively short lived). It certainly was an experience to see a river running down the field and through the tents, however on the whole I think everyone got off lightly, with only a few damp round the edges. Every year we look forward to this event and seeing friends old and new. Deliverance holds such a special place in our hearts long may it continue with the good grace of our lovely hosts
