It's going to be very busy! We go in Monday and will take tow chains to keep disco moving with trailer. It'll be two disco per trailer

Arrived on site, decent amount of grass to go at. Very very soft after the rain and they are holding and Peking traffic. Wellies or boots maybe needed if it doesn't dry up much as the mud will be around in plentyful supply.

Edited- sun is very strong and the wind and it's drying out great. Should be perfect for the event of there's no rain but might be quiet if everyone's cutting for haylage and hay

Also as to be expected very expensive catering on site. Luckily I'm on food vouchers but it would have been £22.40 for two cups of tea and two bacon cheese burgers and chips.
 
I was there until 9pm yesterday, the only bit of mud I saw was along the side of the small wood by the Krone area.

It's very forgiving land there. They put working demos on that side of the show ground for good reason. Across the other side and it would be a very different story!
