I have previous in Hereford but I think they've forgotten by now :roll: . Aging is a good disguise, a trip down memory lane might be in order.

Seriously I stayed in a perfectly good B&B about 3 miles from the showground for the parts fair and had a good meal in a pub a short drive away. The 2 Geoffs recced both a RV and a convoy route into the showground. We have the barebones we just need to do the detail. Local knowledge and assistance are always welcome and I'll be in touch once I get this weekend out the way.

Well, my brother is 2 doors down from the Tarry (Ledbury direction!) and I believe he spends more time in there than in the house!

Bloody good food, too!

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

ok a nice b&b with a big car park....near a curry house n pub would be good....
in fact a nice pub that sells curry and has rooms to let for the night and a nice big secure car park sounds absolutely spot on :)

The price of tickets have gone up then to £7/day pre-booked :|
Could the 'Hokey-Cokey' actually be what it's all about?

Yup - about twice the price this year Chris :? From memory the advance ticket cost £7 for 2 days (!!) last year but I suppose that was a bargain? Perhaps the hire of the 3CS has something to do with it ?
