jelunga Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I went on the first day, Saturday. Even at 0930 when we arrived, it was like a mud bath. Did anybody visit and the Monday and how muddy was it by then? Had a good chat with a few suppliers - Big Fish, Adverc and Worcester Windows. All very helpful.

Keith It got progressively drier and less muddy as the weekend progressed. Areas that had been a problem on Saturday were dealt with using chippings or in some cases boarding and by Monday anyone seen wearing wellies looked positively overdressed! There were still areas of soft ground but it was spongy rather than the type of thing you sink up to your ankles in. Tim, Great pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy-Neil Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I went on the first day, Saturday. Even at 0930 when we arrived, it was like a mud bath. I'll bet 1992 at Wakefield was worse..... And was it the Burton on Trent one where there were no show boats as the ground was too soft to get the cranes and lorries onto?

We were there with our boat and enjoyed our first festival. Thai green curry for lunch was excellent. This boat, I think, had a Petter PD2 in it but was unnamed. Do you know it?

Tim They were on the front of the boat and on the side facing the canal (78p/litr for disel BTW - we filled up from him on the Monday) In fact the owner Brian got his niece to enrol on the signwriting course at the festival to produce a 'coal' sign - the cheek!

AMModels Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Yup definitely Alton, I still have two small tins of the counter colours from a model I made of her for the previous owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
