Hiya all.Let me too thank this site for providing the tickets via its competition.We had been wondering whether to visit the craft trade show at the nec but thought 260 mile round trip was too great a distance for 1 show but when we won the tickets to the motorhome show we decided to make it a double show day and visit both.We sell a few crafty bits on ebay so wanted to troll the dealers at the craft show.We arrived at 10 and spent till 1pm walking aisle after aisle loking at the stands taking a dozen photos of some completed crafts that my good lady was desperate to have,before exiting and having a quick picnic outside.After dumping all our literature in the car we entered the motorhome show with camera ready. I concentrated on taking photos of some of the more exclusive vans showing just what can be acheived with unlimited money available. We also photographed the 2004 model of our van (hymer 544 c class) to compare the differences with our 1996 version.Whilst there we bought 2 luxory king size sleeping bags at a cheap price of £46 for the pair Very Happy

and 2 fold up lightweight chairs with side pockets and swivel table for £35 for the pair.With the leaflets for france and belguim in 2 bags and legs sagging by the minute we looked like a right pair of wally's trying to walk through the crowds with our huge sleeping bags and chairs dangling.We were going to buy a outer windscreen silver sheet but reckoned we had enough to carry.The show had a huge selection of motorhomes, and enough accesory stalls to satisfy everybody covering all items from £1 up to a £2100 sat nav system. The motorhomes blew our minds with the quality and plushness Shocked

but the prices also blew our minds.We had set off at 7 am and walked many miles.We drove home the 130/140 miles and then I had to go and do a 15 hour nightshift....Next day I used the photo card to show my mate the photos of the show and stuck it into his card reader where it proceeded to try to format it for me.....You guessed it.....every photo lost Embarassed

and a wife that didnt speak to me all day Crying or Very sad

as we cannot ever get her photos back...At least I had a quiet day Wink

Oh, poor Pecker & Missis Pecker. Crying or Very sad

Not a complete waste tho' as you've got the sleeping bags, chairs & memories of a day out. Smile

Looking on the bright side, at least you won't drive yourself bonkers drooling over the pictures of the lovely new motorhomes that you can't afford.
