Thread Name: Sidmouth folk week camp site - muddy?
Subject: RE: Sidmouth folk week camp site - muddy?
I don't really want a debate about 4X4 driving. Just seemed an appropriate place to make a comment when considering Sidders and mud!I've seen how some of them do it! I know how I do it!

Liz's maxim, a bit of common sense is always the best way.

We get them at the gate 'No problem I've got a 4x4' thay say or 'don't you know this is a 4x4' and hurtle off at 30mph(+ in some cases) through 3" mud. Dangerous stupid and ingnorant - many don't even wait for a reply!

Some feel any vehicle movement ban does not apply to them either, many use their 4x4s to go to the loo irrespective - when tackled the fairly standard reply is - 'well it is a 4X4 and anyway I've not taken it off site!'

So it was just a bit of a plug for common sense and manners! Nothing more.

If you don't fit that bill and you come to festivals in a 4X4 then you are a friend for life - especially if it is a landrover!
