Hi

We have left and on route now for Yorkshire to get the RV serviced. Turned out to be a cracking weekend, thoroughly enjoyable. Many thanks to the marshalls.

Hi all. It was great to meet some of you on the showground and only sorry we weren't able to meet more but we were absolutely 'creamcrackered' on Thursday and Friday marshalling out on the fields etc. Glad to know that most of you enjoyed yourselves. We did despite our sore feet.

As for Discover - they were at Peterborough last year, so don't know why they didn't come this year. As for Brownhills - well!!!! They brought vans on site on Tuesday/Wednesday and promptly took half off on Thursday. Do hope that no MHF member got caught and paid hard earned cash for one of their vans over the weekend! All the Warners people were a bit shocked when they heard of their downfall!

Hopefully we will be able to meet more of you at Newbury.

Hi to all,
My journey to Peterborough was 508 miles and while chatting to my 'neighbour' found that he was from Thurso, a distance of 620 miles. I have only missed one Peterborough since they started there. We left Peterborough at 8.30am, with half hour break at Gretna and another half hour at Perth arriving home at 6pm, this in a Fiat X250 160 multijet, it went like a dream. In the past I have had some soakings at Peterborough but last Satuday was a real weather bonus, roll on Pickering.

We all had a great weekend, and it was nice to put some names to faces. We will definitely be there again next year !
Very Happy

We had a great time at the Rally. Thanks to all the Marshals who did a fantastic job with a large number of us to look after. Hope you weren't too tired to enjoy yourselves as well.

Greetings,

Just got back from our first weekend away since moving to N E Lincs, we visited the show on Friday, unfortunately by car this year as we have had no van since January, we stayed over at a friends house on Friday night and again visited the show on the Saturday.

It was nice to meet up with some old friends and new but unfortunately we did not manage to see all the usual crowd this time, but hopefully we will be around some time in the near future with another 'van to enjoy ourselves again at many of the mhf meets. etc.

We left the show on Saturday night and drove down to Dunstable to stay with friends for a couple of nights whilst today and stopped of at some more friends on the way home, getting in at about 1800 and now enjoying a glass of cider! Smile

This four day break was superb by way of getting away from the work, muck and bullets at home.

We were hoping that the central heating system would be complete on our return, but, alas, NO!

Four weeks now and they still have not completed! Sad

We camped with the MCC, where the mortorhomes were dangerously close together. Cycled over to where MHF were on Saturday evening and was surprised to see how much space there was. I know who to camp with in future.
We were so close that for some it was not possible to get the tractor in to move them until others around them had been moved.
Good to meet Dave and glad the weekend was such a success.

Peterborough was our second trip in our van and our first rally. We did not know what to expect at all.

First of all being around 6.5 tonnes I thought we would sink and I got my pink spotty wellies out as soon as we arrived (the insurance policy) thinking they would definatley be needed. How wrong could I be - fantastic weather and I have to say we have had a fantastic weekend. We did not meet many people because we spent most of our time in the show but thanks indeed to Artona, Patsy4 and Loddy - shared ideas and a really good laugh.

Special thanks to Duncan and Chris (Star Spangled Spanner), so friendly and helpfull and not only did we have well appreciated work done to the van but soaked up any information we could squeeze out of them about our RV. They did us proud.

I did not find out the user name of the Marshalls who were great when we arrived (oops now we are on our pitch we have to fill up - drives off pitch to fill water tank Embarassed

) thanks very much for your help.

Looking forward to meeting more new friends during the year.
