Well Well Well where on Earth do I start
We arrived on thursday and we went to set up the caravan and put up the awning afterwards we were going to pop down to see the lads at the lake............We only just got the awning up when to say the heavens opened was an understatment..........thunder WOW rain WOW.......funny thing the lads wernt at the lake....I WONDER WHY.
Phil was allready at the camp site when we arrived back from raiding the local shops,so a chat ensued and we wnt for awalk to look around the lake etc etc etc and consume a few beers...........Steph HE BEHAVED
Friday dawned dry and bright so Phil and myself had off loaded our stuff by 830 am at the lake side and went shopping etc..then it was back to the lake to set up Tea Tent Our Gazeebo's and the straight running course and the steering course ready for Sat........Nige and Elaine arrived on fri so we decided to aev a chineese as it was raining....OH and a few beers with our Scotish friends,and the rest of the Mayhemers.
Well one of the jobs we had to perform was to TOW Phils Disco as it ha ddecided to chew the starter motor so the good old Audi was pressed into servic eto get him going.....So off we wnet to the campsite...So Phil parked it by his caravan...BIG MISTAKE as we had a SOS Ron Dean was stuck in th emud so to speak So tow Phil yet again and go and rescue Ron...That Mission was soon aco,plished and Phil was WARNED park it at top of hill on campsite !!!!!!!!
Sat dawned Slightly DAMP but not our spirits,so lets get sailing and rescuing etc etc........and creating havoc,,,,,nothing new there !!!!!!!......Well Phil decided to do some straight running so I was sent to the other end of the course to catch his boat.Phil being so ENGROSSED in his boat ddint notice ME trying to tell him |RAIN WIND on it way so mid run his face DROPPED when he realise dthe rain was dropping and signalled to me send it back.Never have I ran 100mtrs so fast to tear down the gazeebo backs to let the wind...NAH HURRIICANE thru .Boy was we lucky we got away with it...NOT so lucky were the Peterborough lads whose Gazeebo ended up on the train tracks or the Rnli who also lost their Gazeebo's....The tea tent just about survived.
Sat night well you can guess the rest..................We defo need to get Jaydee a sat nav as he couldnt find his tent....Nothing of course to do with the falling down water the lads gave him
