Thanks to all concerned with the organising etc. left this morning in the dry and no problem getting off the field. By the time I got to St Helens it was chucking it down!
Hope everyone gets off the field ok and has a safe journey home.

A lovely weekend in a great city.

I managed to escape just before a deluge but, once out of Chester, it was sunshine all the way home

Not far from home though a canoe swung off the top of a vehicle coming towards me and hit my van just above the windscreen. That made me jump and I might have said a few rude words

I stopped as soon as I could and was amazed to find no damage. I couldn’t see if the traffic behind me was as lucky though as it was round a bend.

Hope everyone else has an uneventful journey home!

Home safely, traffic not too bad for a Bank Holiday Monday.
Got off the ground problem free but I did see the tractor prowling .

I want to agree with the other posters about the reduced facilities, seems less each year - but actually there never seemed to be a queue for the porta-loos, and the bins weren't overflowing. I don't know if the elsan was emptied over the weekend but seemed surprising un-full, so for the price I really can't complain.

I do miss the marquee and events but understand why it doesn't happen these days.

Kerry & I had a great time, weather was kind, spent too much at the food fest - and enjoyed Chester itself

Thanks of course to Janine and to barsteward for all their hard work - and to Carol for her behind the scenes admin.

Had a wonderful weekend again with Motorhome Fun at Chester, meeting up with the Solos again. Thanks to Janine and Barsteward for marshalling and Carol for doing the admin. Was lovely to have a chat with Carol and Eddie on Friday. Got drenched this morning but that's where having a motorhome is such a blessing. Good journey home and sun now shining.

Well I was last leaving.Moved to the entrance on solid ground first and had a last walk around the show mid afternoon. Got a bargain bagful at the pie stall . Rain held off apart from a couple of short showers.
Thanks Janine and barsteward for looking after us and Carol for your background work. Sorry to have missed you when you visited.
See some of you at Peterborough.

Apologies for late posting.
Firstly many thanks Adam, for the help when John's CPAP lead failed, and the good wishes from everyone regarding the gearbox failure.
RAC took 16 hours to get us home, it was after 3 am when we got to the house. Am sure we will laugh about it at some stage, but not yet.
Were thankful it happened on this side of the channel, but doubt we will see anyone at Peterborough or catch our, thankfully flexi, train.
We did contemplate coming in the doblo, but it is not well insulated and has no heating, or solar, so realised it was not the best idea I had had.
Thanks too for all the hard work by the Janine barsteward and Carol

Update to let everyone know that motorhome is fixed and back on the road, a lead had become disconnected and was fooling the system into thinking it had no hydraulic fluid, now well secured hopefully. Wont play guess the price but it was under £400
