Just got back & unpacking.
Despite the cold easterly wind, a good time seemed to be had by all.
Some extra time (well more than was expected !) was put in by quite a few members on the MHF / Outdoorbits stand due to Nuke's accident earlier. When we were on, a few members came up to us & said that they had heard about him & hoped he was OK.
It was nice to meet a few more of the members, and it looks like the guy selling the "Morrocan" carpets did a roaring trade with us all!
The BBQ on Saturday seemed to be a big success

I am back also but as I live about 10 miles away from the showground I should be. Thanks to Jen - Cianthus - for organising the rally and organising a parking spot for Edds car - saved my life. We bought a Morrocan mat as did M&D, Monsi and Vic amongst others. I spent less that Ģ100 this show, a bit of a result seeing as I spent over Ģ1k at Newark. We tried to buy a couple of high back Lafuma chairs and foot rests - the ali framed version - but left it too long to make our minds up and they were all gone. Still, not long to Newbury With that in mind, I will have a couple of folding chairs - ali framed and not the cheapo ones - in first class condition - for sale at Newark for Ģ30 the pair complete with bags.

Top of my list to buy was the electric 2 ton jack. Got there first thing Friday morning, to be told "We've only brought the demo one, and that's been sold already. We can't bring everything!" What a way to do business! Your primary product (of 2) and you can't be @r5.d to bring any to a motorhome show!
Second on my list - Silver Screens Solar Screen. Where were Silver Screens? I don't know either, but they weren't at Peterborough! I rang a couple of months ago and they said Peterborough was one of the few they would do. Are they still in business? I'd go to the opposition, but they don't make them.
I did get the 3rd on my list - steel hoses for the Gaslow system, replacing the rubber pigtails. Also many more indispensable things I never knew I wanted!
I've also learned to trust Sally the Satnav lady (I'm a satnav virgin). On the occasions when I thought she must be wrong, and followed my own instincts, we went horribly wrong, and Sally was right
Many thanks for the rally, Clianthus and Gaspode.
We also bought wheel trims but not enough people 'bigged up' the Maxview crank up,
to persuade the domestic authority to OK it.
Next opportunity please try harder!
How about a free beer to each member that praises it unreservedly to Frances!
Memo to Geo........saying 'Mind your head on the crank up handle' after I persuaded her into your RV to admire the upholstery does not qualify!!!
Happy days!

Ahah! You will learn that the different voices have different characters, and react differently. The voice we were using last year got very stroppy when we went a different way, and sometimes stopped talking to us completely.
This year, I christened the voice (actually, sounding very similar to the lady we used last year) Harriet, and she seems to have a much better nature. When we went off route at Easter, she simply waited until we'd finished shopping, and put us back on the right route.

We had a grand time. Sal spent my money on herself and I bought nowt... just the way it should be apparently..??
We took a steady run home, dropped the dog and stuff off, then in a moment of madness we took the rv to the seaside for fish and chips down the seafront before we took it back to storage. So all those that say "you can't just run about in an rv" - check out my picture! Yes were taking up four spaces, but hey ho, who cares!
Thanks again to everyone for the usual friendliness. Hopefully see you soon at a meet or rally.

Any truth in the rumour you're booked into Blackpool for the illuminations
