Every other vehicle seems to be a long wheelbase landrover with roof tent and awnings coming off. Everyone is wearing camo gear, wanky hats and sporting beards and tats. Thats just the women. Wearing what we wore in Sweden canoeing for a week and living out of a bergan we would be considered overdressed.
All around the smell of bacon and eggs cooking is wafting across the campsite, it makes one drool. What R we on? Porridge.
The exhibition stands open at 1000hrs and we are some of the first visitors through the gate. www.camperCulture.com is the first stand we visit. I was introduced to these guys and their website by Les. They are great fans of the VW Synchro. A lovely little wagon. Now as old as me but what great style.
The remainder of the morning was spent wandering the stalls. Much orientated towards Landrovers and accessories. There were numerous bushcraft stalls including many fire baskets, stoves, Dutch ovens and the like. Some great folding chairs but at £52 each not as good as the two Angie and Tom had given us this summer at Limoges.
Lunch was a rather nice Salmon and Brocolli pie purchased from a stall. This we ate with some salad when we returned to the camper. After lunch we returned to the fray.
Despite some considerable time spent on the www.neneoverland.com stand I still could not convince Jackie to trade up for a 110 Landrover. The only vehicle we saw we found interesting was a 4WD Transit. Converted to your spec. www.xploraoverland.com
By 1700hrs the throng had diminished and we returned to sit in the sun at the wagon with a G+T.
