Throttled Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Arrived. Lovely and sunny. Sitting having a pint having eaten and put up tent. There is a mini festival on the Saturday in the barn. Local friends and bands and they like to dress up, apparently! They want us to camp in the part of the field away from the barn. Ride onto the site and past the row of big trees. My green tent is in the corner. I have procured a couple of picnic tables for us to use. I will also get to warm up Stu's bed for him and plump his pilows, so it will be all lovely for his arrival. One more pub to do and that is all the pub tags done for the first time. Did the Cat and Fiddle on the way here, brilliant fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely karaoke can compete with bands etc Will save me a lot of hassle packing the kit in the car.If our van is up near the pub we'll be like billy no mates, miles away from campers.Think it's a bit shit that we've been shunted down the bottom of the field!!!!
