Knockers Summer Solstice June 16-20.

The top few feet of the Piggy field are only a few degrees off horizontal. After that it is downhill apace away from the gate. Worse, the grass is often allowed to grow and cut or flattened only immediately before folkie arrival. Yet worse, there is nearly a natural spring near the top of the field - enough to add water to the ground. Getting out unless there is a heatwave is the Brian Rodgers Annual Bog-Towing Trophy, named after the occasion he drove in and promptly stuck, and only got out by uncoupling and then using the motor movers on the caravan to extract the van.

The normal extraction procedure at Piggy is to hook up, go to the bar, look helpless and ask for a man with a 4*4 to give you a tow!

Don't forget to take the battery pack home for a week before first expedition to make sure the battery is fully charged.
