Camping in the Cotswolds #8 @ Swinbrook 7/8/9/th August 2020

Brilliant weekend everybody safe journeys home and we look forward to the next time.

 

Arrived home safe and sound from a fantastic weekend. Many thanks to @Keith.H for letting us use the field and CC facilities and thanks to everyone else for helping make it such a relaxing and fun time. Hopefully we can all do it again next year

 

We've had a fantastic weekend met lots of new friendly people it's that good we're stopping another night.

Arrived home safely, hopefully fit a new starter during the week and be ready for Techenders. Thanks to all for a fantastic weekend.

 

Arrived home safely after having some sandwiches and coffee and a trip round the Motor Museum (I have used one of these in about 1985)

..

then ice creams in Bourton-on-the-Water. We arrived about 1030 and bailed out of town by 1430 as the masses were everywhere. It was getting too social.

Many thanks to @Keith.H for the field, the use of the Cricket Club facilities , a lovely location, hope to be back next year. It turned out Burford was a place I had driven through and wanted to go back to. And it was a nice 2 1/2 mile walk along the river.


And to @iblaze for making the event just like Techenders, rolling up with the carburettor just resting on the manifold "engine stops at traffic lights", also timing was a bit off. (Stripped studs on the carburettor) And massive end float on the alternator so the pulley was chewing off the front of the alternator. Happened to have a shim from when I was in the same situation once.


My spannering quota was changing the plugs , and as I pulled off the number 4 lead, a shower of rust and bits of rusty clip came out of the end of the insulating boot. So I fitted a Bosch lead I happened to have in my box of bits. All I can think is that it water must have managed to get in there back at Dubfreeze, when I also filled up the front wheel bearings with water...

Went back via Cirencester, Swindon and then cross country to Hamble.

 

Just wanted to say a big thanks to Keith.
Great to see everyone and meeting some new faces.
Wished I could have stayed longer
Until next time
