Saxtead Rally 2006



The Old Mill Public House Rally, Saxtead

May 2006

 


What a dirty weekend !!


We cleaned our caravan ready for this rally during the week- what a waste of time!

It rained so much on the Friday that by the time we got to the site our caravan looked like it hadn’t been cleaned for weeks.

When we arrived we were warmly greeted by Joy and then Paul showed us to our pitch, the field was very soggy and thank heavens that we were level as I am sure any ramps would have sunk straight into the ground. We got the van unhitched, secured the wheel clamp and hitch lock, then disappeared into the restaurant for lunch. After a wonderful meal and a couple of pints we fetched our water and got the van sorted out, then spent the rest of day relaxing.

Saturday morning dawned after a night of heavy rain and carried on with the same theme all through the day with the odd ray of sunshine managing to split the rain clouds. We spent the day relaxing with a good book and watching the rain wash the muck off our van.

Saturday evening and it was time for another meal in the restaurant, it was very busy and if you hadn’t booked a table there was no chance of getting a meal, this restaurant is very popular and not just with us caravanners. After our meal we retired to our van and finished the night off with a hand or two of cards.

Flagpole was held in the bar on the Sunday morning chaired by Anthea and Brian where we all thanked Paul, Joy & Andy and the landlord for a wonderful rally.

Many thanks to our marshals Paul, Joy & Andy for a wonderful relaxing weekend we hope to come back again next year.

Needless to say the van got even dirtier on the way home. What a dirty weekend !!

Steve and Mel Garrard.
