I'm not saying they're not dangerous. Any recovery equipment is, if mis-used.

video of the gliders at sibbertoft, if you look in the back ground you can see the campsite, yes we are on the edge of the glider strip, so if they are playing we dont venture to far on the field

I was thinking might be easier if I took everything in a trailer to save having things rattling about in the boot during the day, is anyone else bringing one?

I will be taking my trailer

If I have finished restoring mine, I'll most likely be bringing mine too. However, I would recommend leaving the trailer (and its contents) by the tent to save then from rattling in the trailer

[horses45]

some of us are taking caravans so if you want put them next to us i cant see a problem or as hippo says park them next to your tent, but for the dogbite ian im getting some special cider from a micro brewery

Incidentally, for those who may be interested (and I make no apologies for my truck-porn tendencies, hehe) TruckFest is on at the East of England Showground in Peterborough that weekend.
It's on the Sunday & Monday of the weekend we're at Avalanche, so I'm definitely thinking about it. Perhaps (depending on alcohol consumption on the Sunday night) I might be decamping early on Monday morning, doing the 40mile drive to Peterborough, and then bimble off back to the South coast on Monday evening.

[andysd1]

that's ok Jim, we understand you are not well in the head, and if you want to leave early Monday and have no drink on Sunday, that's up to you, but for some reason when the drink is flowing, i think you will have your glass under it, or you lips

[Roo]

Maybe you guys have it covered sorry not trying to burst anyones bubble here ..
The laning trip on the Saturday & Sunday if your all out and about, when does that give us girls time to Judge the best trucks etc Sorry just a thought
Cheers
Roo

[Wilberforce]

Roo,
Should be plenty of time Saturday or Sunday evening hun... By the time the meet rolls round, it won't be getting dark until about half past nine, so once everyone's back in time for the BBQ tea perhaps?
Admittedly, if there's a "Shiny shiny truck" category, that's best done before any mud gets involved.

Jim.

[Roo]

Cheers Jim

[Gazeddy]

[BoxCleva]
