We got off to a good start on Friday morning, leaving at 9:30 we expected to get there at just after 7 that night.
The drive down was no problem, we followed the SatNav because the last time we went down to Santa Pod we got lost;) We arrived at 5:45 and tried to find a camping spot - getting stuck in the mud ( did I mention it rained all the way down ) and needing to be pushed out of a mud hole ( thanx lads lol )
Finally settled into a camping spot, our first port of call was a welly stall ;) we changed into them there and then and then went to explore.
After some Southern Fried Chicken we went to explore the music tents, we found the Rockaoke tent ( karaoke with a live band ;) ) and stayed there as there was a bar in it and that saved my wee legs from getting too sore from tramping about in our wellies. At 11 I was too tired to stay out so we headed back to the camper. Barry pulled out the bed and fixed sleeping bag for me, I was sleeping for half past 11.
Woke up with a start, thanx to the guys in the tent in front of us - banging music is a good alarm call ;) Went for Breakfast and then had a nosy around some of the stalls before the entertainment began.
First we watched a young guy doing stunts on a bmx bike, then headed for lunch back at the camper, some tomato soup later, we headed to watch the monster trucks and the stunt motor cyclists, another nosy around the stalls took us to the jumble area,I had to drag Barry away or we would've been skint within 5 minutes lol.
Back to the camper for a wee nap, I was knackered with all the walking, then it was out again to the retro tent to see the ABBA tribute band, they were excellent, a wee wander 'round the fairground,( wasnt keen on any of the rides, dont like the sicky feeling lol ) and a hot dog later we headed back to the camper for the night, it was quarter to 12 by this time and we had had a long day and lots of walking had taken it's toll on me :(
Up again just after 9 thanx again to the disco tent;) we got ready to leave and drive home. The drive home was a good one, no traffic jams or hold ups and we only stopped twice, once for the loo and something to eat and once for fuel. Got home just after 5 on the Sunday night, unpacked the red devil.
House was empty as Seonaid had gone to work, but wee Benji was glad to see us :D
