Graham Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Hi All As this will be my first visit, and seems it will be wet one, I am a bit surprised that there are so many people on the site already - it does open officially on Wednesday and I haven't missed it? Also a bit of advice please - are there huge long queues and any way of avoiding them for the ordinary visitor? Thanks, really looking forward to the show - can't wait.

Steve 82 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hi, This was supposed to be our 14th visit – but for the first time, I have been unable to make it back to UK ! I am gutted to put it mildly. Anyhow, what I wanted to ask, has any thought about a setting-up a webcam ? Would be so nice to get a few live shots of the event (sounds like the 2008 mud). All the best to my good friends – have a great event ! Steve 82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiketheBike Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Will hopefully be turning up on Wednesday night or Thu morning, hookinng up with some members of the 101 club. Will be camping in the back of the 101 as I cannot be a**ed putting up a tent If I bring biscuits, can I pop in for a coffee at camp Lee?

Scarab Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I passed no less than 6 convoys yesterday while out on the roads, and probably 11-12 individual vehicles all heading in the direction of Beltring. 4 Jeeps and 1 Freelander pulling a Jeep ( I think) broken down in about a 25 mile section of the M27/A27 and a couple on the M3. Can't get there myself till Friday but really looking forward to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skapunkninja Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Take it no USO show this year ? Nope, no USO this year :(I think its going to get pretty noisy at the campsite this year, with people partying at their tents as there's nowhere else to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarab Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 no queues really for day visitors been a few years and never queued graham , :-) Is that apart from the 1hr queues for the carpark, and then the 20 minutes queueing to buy the wristbands? Must get there earlier this year! :cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGREDONE Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Whilst I was there weather and mud was fine. Started to drizzle late afternoon I think but nothing much. As a pedestrian the mud was in patches but ok under foot. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
