We all (Carol & John as well) managed to get half a day
off work on Friday so set off for Colden Common at lunch time. The journey was uneventful although there
were traffic lights just outside the entrance to the site which could have made
it awkward. Leaving the site may be a
little problematical if there is a queue of traffic opposite the entrance.
When we arrived I held the gate
open for both outfits then ran to catch up with them. On my run, the owner came out to warn us not to
go onto the grass as it was very waterlogged.
Too late for Mike. The field was
like walking through puddles! John kept
his car and van on the hard standing.
Mike decided to do the same but couldn't
get off the grass and the owner had
to pull the van out with his 4x4.
Settled on the hard standing we set up but found the van to be sloping
slightly on a sideways axis. Never mind
we’ll just be very cosy in bed!
Tea and yummy biscuits later we
then set off to get some more gas from nearby Chichester Caravans then a drink
at the nearby pub. Carol and John hosted
that nights dinner. Beef One Pot. Mmmm lovely.
Last bit of gravy and bread anyone?
Pud then cheese & biscuits and a few bottles of vino (although Carol
not drinking) and a game of Uno. How
John won was anyone’s guess!
