Mornin All
arrived at The Americana 1.5 Hrs early and they sent me away:cry:
met with mr jobs worth at the gate and told Elf and Saftey still inspectin so go drive round for a couple of hrs and come back, I did ask if i could park up on the 35 acre drive way but was told there is no room, damn clever these camouflaged motorhomes cos I coudnt see any on there at all:Doh:
Hey Ho
Parked up at a service station about a mile away from the show with free Wi Fi so just wasting an hour or so before attempt No 2
think i spotted Pete and Shirl (Arazona Cheif) tucked into a lay by/gateway near the grounds:thumb:

Americana's security mostly look rough, plenty of tattoos, leather, moustaches and ponytails. :Smile:That said, last year I found them to be very professional and courteous, so you can't always judge a book by the cover.:Smile:

Hi all,

It has dried out a treat now, and things are looking brighter on the horizon.

For now, there are 9 Funsters pitched, and if accurate, here is our expected weather over the next few days. Link Removed

Rita and I must be at the wrong venue Jim, as we ain't got any of that gear with us. :ROFLMAO: But I know a man that has, (Raoul), :winky:

How's your "yomping" going? Not too far if you are online. :winky:

Morning all,

Last night saw many of us watching some of the live acts, however, it did get a little bit chilly after the sun went down. This morning, the sun is trying to poke through the cloud, and hopefully another dry day ahead, until tea time at least. Link Removed
The next two days should be busier with day visitors, however, there doesn't appear to be as many traders, as there was last year.

TTFN,

Jock & Rita.
