That's the plan if I can find the time to book the tickets :)

We're booked somewhere in the Cotswolds the week before so we thought we would extend the trip to Eastnor.

We don't belong to any clubs so we'll be flying solo.

hi - have finally dried out from Eastnor - never camped in such rain. l was asked if l could do a parade lap in the stage 1 arround the show ring but was canciled due to the wet ground conditions. :(
ended up leaving the truck at the show entrance and walked round the show - not bad but very few "show specials"
also helped with scrutineering on the sunday for the self drive arround the grounds. allowed me to get a drive arround the scenic route in a new range rover. amazing car with a lovely interior and awesome computer trickery with hill decent ect.. however l would still prefer my stage 1, much more driver input required.

Yep, felt like I had trench foot by the time the slurry started to clot up enough so we could go home. Shame – a good turnout and a good atmosphere made up for the average show (no fault on the organisers part). I thought the marshals did a brilliant job in impossible conditions.

I think I saw your truck by the entrance to the main campsite when I was descending down that “hill” on the way in – interesting that was; two adults, two teenagers, dog camping gear and the world’s most heaviest caravan – or so it seemed :shock:

Did I also see you driving north from Banbury earlier in the week?

Why were the MROC camped so far away from everyone else?
