"Day 2 in da big campsite"
BIG cannot describe is it is huge, a 45 mins to walk from one side to the other!
Let me put this in perspective(for the Manc's) it takes about 30 minutes to walk from Piccadilly station to Salford station in Manchester!
Today I have attached paper plates to bike wheels - don't ask - went to check in another 2hr Queue - decided to come back later as Checkin now open 24hrs, got lost trying to find the only 'real' building on site (Hylands House) then ended up using a chop saw to build a porch for the 'English Garden' Tea Rooms. Then is was time for tea. Damn, another 30 mins walk.
Queued for tea. Now the bar is calling... argg! left glass (you only get one!) in my tent, 20 minute round trip to get glass. Ahh beer. Darn Bar shut 10.30pm. Bright idea go and check in, 30 mins walk later (NO kebab/pizza shops enroute - bad management) arived at checkin, horray no queue, first time since erm.... 30 mins walk back aww... Alas all is not lost, 'being prepared' I have supplies with me due, to a very good GRANT'S offer a few weeks ago. Good things never come in ones - not often anyway - but a Minibus stops and asks if we need a lift to the Island Hub However I'm sure it was something due to 'The GRANTs' we offered to buy the bus that helped. On climbing in it was naturally propper to offer the hand (bottle) of friendship to all... Unfortunately all 17 passsengers were rather big mouthed and there ain't much left of our 'GRANT' See you all soon.
