Jessie The Jeep Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) Saturday night and were home again from the Yorkshire Water Wartime Experience! We survived the torrential rain of Thursday night, all Friday and Friday night. It wasn't a good sign when various vehicles were being towed INTO the site through the mud by tractors. All the 4x4 military vehicles seemed to manage ok, but some of the 2x4's and general traders/fairground vehicles got stuck. I don't think Friday saw all the planned school visits, though I did see a number of school children hiding from the rain in the beer tent! Two marquees were overturned immediately behind us on Friday due to very strong gusts, but our tent survived by being roped to the truck and a nearby fence. Not so much luck on Saturday as the truck was with the others on display, and the steel frame tent took off and got shreaded. My weekend cost was £500, £100 on petrol and £400 on a destroyed tent! It has done us six years, but there was still life in it yet, although after Friday, it was going to need waterproofing again. I counted around 40 vehicles there today, but so many had cancelled or just didn't show, it was a real shame after so much effort by Stuart and Ken, and it has the potential to be a great show, with the site being huge. The heavy rain formed a lake in the arena, which must have contained a couple of hundred thousand gallons at least, but that was still only a small fraction of the arena space, and the arena was only one of about five fields available for displays. I hope they get a better day tomorrow. Edited June 24, 2012 by Jessie The Jeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Here's a picture from around 2pm on Saturday, however all of Friday looked the same! The sun did make brief appearances during Saturday and there were public there plodging through the mud enjoying the show. This is a view across two of the show fields, with the new lake at the back of the arena field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
