Rally Chester food & drink festival 2018

[TinaLes]

Thanks from us two also, to Carol & Eddie, Swansea Jack, and everyone else that put in the effort to make this our first ever Fun Rally a memorable one.
It was great to put faces to Avatar names, although we didnt meet all of you, I am sure we will on our next rallies.
Well thats the new van well & truly christened with mud, the tractor experience was also fun in its own way. Unfortunately, although we intended to stay until Tuesday, there was no hard standing room left, so the show marshal's moved us on, and we didnt get a chance to say cheerio properly.
The 7 hour journey home was much better than the journey to Chester with no heavy rain, hail stones or motorway hold ups.
Looking forward to Peterborough now, although we have been told that can be muddy also
TinaL will post some photos soon that capture our experience later
Safe travels home everyone, Thanks again to all we met.
Les

Last one off after Mick and Mew. Lovely and sunny. 13c! If the puddles had dried we'd be all sitting out today! Maybe at Peterborough!

That's us home and just unpacked the van. Despite the mud we had a great weekend catching up with old friends and new. Thank you to everyone who came and joined in the fun to make the weekend so great. It was especially lovely to meet so many newbies too. See you all again soon xx

Thanks to all who made this a memorable first rally for us. Special thanks to the marshalls and those who put extra work into providing the entertainment whilst we sat and drank wine! We met some lovely people and now know what a “Mr D” can do. Looking forward to Peterborough x

Did you manage to get off with the winter tyres without the tractor?

Second that question, Paul @haganap did you manage to move at all with the proper winter tyres?

well, yes an interesting question..... The answer I have decided is in the name of the tyres.... They are snow tyres and clearly do not like to associate themselves with getting dirty in the mud...
I had my van off the ground on the leveling jacks so the front wheels didn't touch the ground.. When I put them down and got ready to go I managed to move a lot further than many others (12 inches instead of the 6) before my van sank before my very eyes... However, I must add that I was actually parked in a lake at the time which became so bad I had to swim out of my van.

So alas not really the best comparison to compare due to the severity of the weather and ground as even 4x4 trucks were getting stuck....

I must add that the scooter never got stuck once.

Massey Ferguson should be sponsors for this forum, the amount of coverage they've had after this weekend.

Many many thanks to the tireless work and fun put in by the marshalls. Had a great time inspite of the weather. Thanks again for organising a great rally. Great to make new friends of Andy from Sandy and the lovely Linda
