23.05 Day 6 . . . Highway To Hell
23 mai, Angleterre ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
So up not too early - Loup had a lay in. Huge breakfast of all sorts and more chatting with my mum and dad.
Loup walked - so many other dogs on the same paths made the walk tricky at times. Loup just wants to play but some dogs see him as so large there is an instant stand off and aggressive barking. Much better when they are off lead and can just work it out.
Back to my mum and dad’s - ice packs in fridge, belongings stowed, check and double check we have left nothing behind and we are into Rox for the drive to Ware and the festival.
We decided to stay the night before at the festival to avoid the car pandemonium and rush setting up in the morning.
We stopped to get some foodstuffs for the next three days and also popped in to buy Loup a bigger collar - the monster has outgrown his current one 🙄
Then on the road and straight into the M6 - bloody hell it’s expensive. £16 for next to no distance - we are used to paying 90 cents for about 30 miles!!
Off and onto the side roads through towards Ware and onto the camp site at Great Amwell.
Drove in and all was good, no cars. Then turned the corner to find a field of cars, vans and caravans being stacked in lines waiting to be allocated a parking spot. The whole thing was a bloody nightmare. After an hour or so the usual oiks that you find anywhere decided to go rogue and start driving out of the lines to push to the front. At which point the whole thing descended into a farce with everyone then deciding to move forward - especially those that had been waiting patiently from the outset. In any case it took us about 1 and 3/4hrs to get parked up - not quite the night before ease we had expected. Won’t make that mistake again.
In our spot we set up and smashed it this year. The extra gazebo space we take went up a treat. Rox decanted of our fridge and cooker and everything else we took his lordship for a long and well deserved walk.
Back to the van it started to get chilli and so to Tre’s delight I made a secret trip to the chip van and surprised her with a big tub of heavily salt and vinegar’d chips.
We then tucked up for the night. Tomorrow the first unruly pair on Annals arrive in the morning and so mayhem will commence. The more sophisticated pair of Annals arrive later in the day.
So as of tomorrow these posts will be short and brief of the next few days and mainly be photos - due to lack of power at site for phone recharges and also probable drunken hangovers.
Mr and Mrs Annals x2 - see you tomorrow!!
