Overland show 2018

[Chris]

You could not make this up

Ill post instructions once im in

 

[karl webster]

Is it the same as usual then Chris? Or worse lol.

 

[Chris]

Oh just wait

There’s a whole race course to camp on and we’re on a grass verge by the grandstand outside the barrier roof for half a dozen of us

 

[Trevor]

I’m in 2 trucks, last time I signed in with the response lot and then ignored all instructions and toddled off to where you were last year. Any opportunity to “toddle off” this time?

 

[Chris]

Ok some come into the course and drive through the motor home area. Before you cross the race track there is a sign on the ground that says SILK
I have no clue what that means but follow that along into the grandstand area through a gate and you’ll see me set up

 

[Chris]

Probably Trev but ask a marshal as they may have to escort you because they have a movement clause in their insurance
But we’re outside the arena so probably fine

 

[grantw]

We won’t be there until just before 5

 

[Chas]

Decided not to come this time, too wet and cold maybe next one if I'm back from Romania .

 

[Andy]

So how much space is designated to us, can we all get together, won’t arrive till sat am although possibly late tonight if that’s going to be an issue with them
. I know previously you weren’t allowed to pitch up after 9? Pm

Usual fiasco then

 

[karl webster]

We have claimed the bit opposit Andy so we should be fine.

 

[Andy]

We will be ther 10 pm according to sat nav

 

[AndyCook]

Come up to Scotland

Sounds like you’re where I was put last year, I was on the hardstanding in front of the grandstand, good job I’d brought some stage weights to tie tent guys to. It was deserted last year so I hope you get more visitors

Looks lovely where abouts are you? Is that a Tentipi Safir and Eldfell stove behind you? I loved my Safir.

hey guys, nice to see the trucks again and a good turnout. shame about the show itself and the weather but you always look one of the best groups lol. I think was even a bonus being on the way to and from the car park ( strange place they put the visitors this year)

Great weekend again. Thanks to all of you guys for showing up and making it fun. Super to see Dervis all the way from Cyprus. Recruited a fair few new members too. Let's hope they all show up.

What a club!

I spent Saturday in a food coma. It was amazing.
