Suitcase almost packed, ironing done, last couple of bits drying in the glorious afternoon sunshine, train & bus times printed off and stored safely. We are both really looking forward to this weekend and the good weather forecast makes it even better. See some of you tomorrow and the rest on Friday.

Agreed, Metcheck has changed its mind again and is showing a REALLY nice weekend - and I am first reserve for the Sat open stage so I'd better do some practice just in case. Following Paul Steele, so I'd better be at my best! John, I would happily cede my slot (if I get one) to you so let me know (age before beauty).

"So its going to be awash on Sunday"
"I.ll soon stop that"
I,ll bring me Sun dance kit with me "
Like in the Richard Harris film :
A man called Horse?
In this case it will be
A man at the Kentish Horse"

I ,ll impale me Man boobies with Eagle Talons and suspend myself from the top of me tent.
smoke some funny stuff and go into a spin.
I doubt I find a Kentish Eagle though?
'Ahhhh
"Thats it"
"Kentish Leopard claws will suffice?

We have oven on board too. Just want to spend my time there playing not working.

I am working Thursday and TSO prefers to drive down on Friday morning. I agree. We'll both be fresh for taking instructions on how to do things with the van.

Umm, would a 'fire basket' be iffy to use on site? I have one of those small wood burning cast iron thingies for the garden. It's warm to sit around and you can cook on it like a Barby, but it's on legs so it means you don't have a bonfire which scorches the earth (it also catches the ash in the bottom). Any thoughts?

Tam- the top of the field for caravans is reasonably level, and you should be fine there. It does fall away fairly sharpish though. Your little caravan should be easy to level just about anywhere, however .

Thanks John

We contemplated arriving Thursday evening, but I need to do some food prep. Banana nut bread to share.

We plan to take some meals at the pub, just because it is easier. No outdoor cooking planned for this event.

Last 2 items to get for van... toilet chemical and wheel levellers.

WOOT! We almost there!

No Tam, no problems. You should be fine on Friday morning, and there's plenty of room. It's only retired people like me and those that have booked holidays who get there on Thursday, and not many get there friday morning either. I'll get you sorted when you get there.

PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF PLAN.

Due to unforeseen problems and my father having a fall recently and circumstances arising from that fall I will not be coming to Pigs Ear on the Wednesday .

I have told folk mob members who were meeting up with me on the Wednesday evening and we have all decided to come on the Thursday now in the stead so has far as I now know there will none of the Eltham lMob on the field Wednesday night, or any one else for that matter I assume?
Its a right bloody palaver but there you go theses things happen (usually to me)

I was looking forward to watching the Morris over pints of Ale .
See you all Thursday afternnon.

Precisely! Indeed excessive enthusiasm with the corner steadies can flex the chassis.

Old fridges need to be within 2 1/2 degrees of vertical to work and if they aren't you will ruin them permanently. Modern ones will stand 5 degrees. It's to do with crystallisation in the working gas.

You need the wheel levelers to get the van level side to side, as fore and aft is controlled by the corner steadies - and that's all they are. The corner steadies aren't designed to take weight off the wheels.

RB, why do you need wheel levelers when you have those gadgets on the corners to level the caravan. this is not a flippant inquiry. Just curiosity, as we never had a working fridge in the old van.

"Twisted me bloody ankle last time"

Is there a list of Ales that can be posted on site before the event begins that would be very helpful I think the landlady had forty odd barrels last years ?

We have a car! Yeah! With an engine and everyfing - courtesy of Fiat, fortunately. I've even washed the caravan.

Pierre Le Chapeau - There's Morris dancers at TKH Wednesday evening, who can probably be prevailed upon to do a little carousing in the bar after dancing. Start as we mean to go on, after all...
