.303fan 12 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 more easy to clean,more stabile with blowing over. those four sided mini sheds "blow"over my site supervisor found out. i pushed him over and the toilet landed on its door. thats why they made them diffirent, and should be better with the smell.

Snapper 10 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I can't wait to see who wakes up in the night to find one in their tent. It will also be interesting to see how many go missing. Clochmerle was a classic....well remembered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Peter4456 10 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 This is usually one of my favourite threads on here - it really gets me in the mood for W&P - but this is quite worrying. We're looking to go down to Beltring, as usual, next Saturday but it really needs to dry out a lot before then! The whole site is fairly low lying (I remember seeing it in the 1968 floods when I was 4!) and the River Medway forms part of the boundary so it's no surprise that it gets a bit wet, but how wet would it have to be before they cancelled the show?! A massive fingers crossed job for some drier weather this week!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Peter, I was down by the Medway yesterday, and the river level was not that bad, I suspect that Lee is near the stream that flows past the shower block and down alongside Monktons fields. We will await further info. The Americas Field was in very good shape on Sat morning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marmite!! 2,001 Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 It was really wet a few years back.. we still had fun.. Doubt there's any plans to cancel it.. the water level has dropped a bit already & some areas have started to drain off.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We will await further info. The Americas Field was in very good shape on Sat morning. Correct Richard.. this is the one that overflowed.. down by the showers the water was over the footbridge.. If people have common sense & keep vehicle movement to a minimum & were capable of driving their vehicle properly (Unlike the guy Mark had to help out) then the ground should be ok when it dries off..

lightweight 10 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 We went up this morning and dropped off a vehicle or three. My mates wife reported that the gents loos were flooded - business as usual then! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonny666 10 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 it will dry out and even if it does i remember the mud of a few years ago it was still a cracking show just need boots or wellies lol this will be year number 15 for me so looking forward to it no matter the weather lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sirhc 26 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Year 15 for me too, I really wish the weather picks up a bit. It's no fun having to pick all the mud out of the wheels and tracks... I remember doing that in 2007 and I think there's still mud in the Spartan from that year! Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
