Groundswell Weather

[steveR]

Looking OK according to the BBC forecast this morning, not too hot and more importantly, dry for us campers! Don't need the 4 season bag either!

Did you get any of the rain that was bumbling around the South before the weekend, down there? Wellies or Trainers I wonder...

I drove past the site on Friday and it was absolutely sheeting down!

Baldock which is about a mile away had 60mm on Friday

If it's a mudbath it'll be another of those demos where the MF30 turns out to be the best drill

What you on about ?

Forecast is OK...though we had 62 mm on Friday so the exhibitor entrance is quite muddy. Putting down some hard tracks now so it'll be fine on the day. Wellies should be ott but trainers might get a bit dirty, work boots probably favorite footwear. Campsite dry under wet grass. Warm clothing for evening session...

I hope you have cut our camping grounds and we are not in standing hay...? ;-)

On a side point, I am deeply envious of 62mm of precipitation! Should have another day to dry up, or do I bring the truck for traction.

BtT has shares in Plough Shares!

My back is shot to hell, which is a bit crap as I’m only 36! I’ve got a farm tour the day before, a funeral on the Friday and a stag do on the Saturday (and Wednesday and Thursday convincing you good arable folk to incorporate live stock ..... and me .... into your farms). I decided the idea of a memory foam mattress and a roomy tent was a fantastic one!

Cut hay last week, made in about 24 hours, hard to believe now. It's amazing how the rain has soaked in (apart from where lorries churred it up on Friday). The car park is flat and dry, cars should be fine.

Odd question ? But is it usually a pain getting out on the Friday morning ? With lots of folk going?

Getting out of the site should be a doddle on Friday morning. After that, you're in the lap of the Gods...

Thought you would be at ABR?

Thought you would be at ABR?

Too much loud music and alcohol and nonsense....

I’ve had a change of plans, so will now heading onto site tonight. Look forward to meeting the other early arrivals later!
