Filled up with fuel this morning and amazed to work out I got 27 mpg! Most I've got so far. Most of journey on motorways at 50-55 though.
Visited friends near Ludlow this morning and now sitting in sun at my sister's house in Shrewsbury. Lovely day so far.

Camping in Shifnal tonight, short hop to CJ in the morning.

 

2 kids 2 adults and a dog in a small tent this is going to be a challenge but were still coming
So many things have attempted to stop us going this year we will cope whatever the weather

Ive a large tarp ill try and squeeze in the car to rig up as a communal shelter if other people can bring some rope and maybe washing props to use as supports?

Oh and could some kind soul bring a battery charged drill please so i can fit zoes firetec for her

 

we nearly ready am very excited have packed more spare clothes than if i was going away for the week.

Ive a spare vehicle pass for the late bay area zoe and ill bring drill bits along

We will manage with the tent zoe as im sure we can seek shelter to sit in during the day so we should only need to sleep in it
