veracocha Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 The RAF international Air Tattoo is on in Gloucester the weekend so a bimble around the surrounding lanes should offer some excitement. In themselves the roads are a delight so park up and watch the action without paying £60 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tent is around 30 years old and is probably not waterproof so we’ve erected the gazebo over it as a precaution. A larger replacement tent has been bought (Blacks have a 60% off sale I found this evening) for future grandchildren / step-grandchildren visit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some interesting areas around Nassau, some lovely highly dubious local probably illegal bars and women of few morals and even less teeth, ohh yea it's fooking expensive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Carlsberg made motorbike tracks it would be Cadwell. I’ve had many happy days there, both as a spectator and riding around it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similarly, supposed to be for four people but it looks a bit tight. The expectation is that we’ll fit three in at most, and it’s only intended for when grandchildren stay with us and want to camp on the grass. I can see a time when we have more relatives visiting than we have space for, mind… in which case it may be pressed into service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
