Stairs Farm wasn't all bad - it's where we created "The Thing".  So I'm told anyway - I don't remember much - except being shouted at by the artistic director because I was too drunk to operate the camera shutter properly!

Yer, I don't actually think you remember a lot about that one, it was that bad and that why you hit the French stuff.

My fav was the illuminated church and the low flying aircraft to Gatwick, the mud was bad, well for Mac anyway (next 4x4 he gets will be a proper one :-) ).  Tony almost died of hypothermia, we have the three families in he caravans there, my mount sank into the tarmac.  I remember laptops freezing solid as well.  Lots of mud.

Err anyone, what have I forgotten?

Weather forecast isn't looking too good now; to be expected really as I had a full weekend pass :(

Cold, very wet and windy.  Is it worth bothering?

The demolition of your carpets, and that very bizarre light show from the small tent at the end ;)

Ps, next time I'll get the correct tyres. :!

I remember them!  You trip over one "lump of concrete" and get impaled on the next "lump of concrete"!

Yeah it's looking pretty dire. Unlikely I will be going unless the forecast changes dramatically over the next 24 hours.
