Seylec1 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 All went well, bright sunshine in the morning even if it was a bit windy! cloudy from lunchtime onwards but had 46 vehicles ranging from MTs, Jeeps and Landrovers to Whites half track, Dodge WCs, Ferret and a Scorpion tank. Only 4 breakdowns on the way in and we had an estimated 2000 people visit. Live music still playing and pub packed ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
