Havent been there but dont live far away, assuming they have had the same amount of rain as us in Northampton, the site will be a tad moist and sticky.....as for the camping area that could be interesting.

Approach water area with caution may be adviseable......

I would hazard a guess that trucks may have to be left in the car park area, at least the ground will be soft to lie on.

I think I'm gonnae have to pack some bits of wood...
You boys on airbeds might get washed away in the rain if it floods, my camp bed and the six legs will sing about a foot into the ground if I don't bring something to spread the weight a bit.

Ahh yah wuss'es... tis only a little bit of rain and the place is hardly like the middle of Sennalager during a month long rain storm :lol:
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Comments on 'O-no' the truck may be left here

The campsite should be alright as most of it is on a slight slope so flooding won't be an issue though the ground may be a little soft. As long as it don't rain while we're there it'll be great.

As for Pete's email reply from Robin, if he says full muds he ain't joking. The site course will be like soup with lumps in it!

Too old, can't remember that far back. Can relate it to the aftermath of too much cider and a curry though. Will probably smell like it too.
