here's me thinking I was the only one who went - took me 4 hrs on Saturday from Chesterfield (flipping sat nav, dont trust 'em), when I arrived the field was empty save for some old fella pitching his tent....Jo & Oggy (nice to meet you both!) arrived shortly after tho, so at least it wasn't a wasted trip.

I was thinking of going and I was at Cadwell watching the racing. But It was too damned hot so I left Cadwell and rode home for a cold shower and colder beer. So how many turned up in the end? Was it a good do?

only a few, turned up. The band was cracking and there was about 30 people in the place all night. Shame as the band was excellent, free camping, even got a free coffee before I left at 7am. Friggin' pigeons woke me up at 5am tho and I'm damned sure there's a parrott in the tree too, never heard anything like it. We only have sparrows in the midlands, the natives have eaten the rest :-)

Ha ha, It probably was a escapee parrot as there's a parrot sanctuary about a mile from there,
