Looks like they have been watering the lawn again prior to our arrival.
That's nice of them, I hate brown grass!

Top tip, your naughty corner might not be the place to go

I was thinking I might go early and take some sunshine with me.

PS. How many times do I have to tell you, Hobo Hill is not the 'naughty corner' it's prime property!

Was like that a few years back for the rally and there was more than one van that needed assistance to get off the field. Didnt spoil the weekend.

Not a patch on what it was like 2 yrs ago and we survived that , it all adds to the fun, rain, sun shine whatever its the funster spirit that always shines through.

It's our first time at Drax meet, that doesn't look very inviting does it, and the long range forecast isn't very promising

Just remember to pack your wellies John........and your slip on pumps which you'll spend most of your time in when in the club house.

Cheers,

Jock.

Jo662 Please don’t let that photo put you off. There are still 10 days to go with sunshine on the way. The ground at Drax will recover very quickly from the deluge of rain that we have just had. No ground could cope with that.

We have sole use of the concert room in the clubhouse, which is big enough to hold everyone. The long term forecast is occasional light showers, which won’t affect the field.

If you follow the weather forecast in England you will never go anywhere

The weather will be what it will be, our spirits won't be dampened for sure.

Sam loved the natural pond two years ago, but as you can see the field soon drys up. It will be yet another fabulous meet. The weather will not spoil it.

This is what you get if very dry. Dead grass everywhere. And if you have a dog that loves to roll a nightmare to remove Tinker two Much prefer lush green grass.

 

[Brella]

Sorry Tinker message for @tinkertwo

Look on the bright side, your awning pegs should hammer in easily.

What is the dog walking situation at Drax…..looking at google maps it seems penned in by a railway line or main roads, or a power station () so, for those that have been before, or are local, is there access to off-road walks and footpaths from the site?

Nice walk around the power station for a long leg stretch if not we exercise ours around the bottom of the field edges.

Depends on how far you want to walk?
There's a small wooded area to the left of the power station.
You can walk all the way around the power station - about 4miles
You can walk all the way to Barlow Common - 9miles [not all off road IIRC, but very quiet country lanes]

Out the social club carpark, turn left, walk over the railway line bridge, turn right and there's a bit of a walk there. There's a picnic area with tables etc.

Or if you keep going all the way around the perimeter of the power station it's about a 7 mile walk.

Edit: Just seen Langtoftlad says it's 4 miles. Maybe it just felt like 7 miles to me!

Is there anywhere I can park my horse on the Friday for the line dancing?
