I was hugely impressed with both the organisation of the event, the course which was brilliant for expert & novice alike, and the atmosphere... it felt really relaxed and friendly and everyone was approachable. I often think that shows like Billing & Peterborough etc are very clinical and trade oriented. Abingdon certainly wasn't!
So if you've not been yet... get there next year!

Ditto your comments Skibum. I totaly agree with you.
As for the camping bit, I didnt realise you were camping. I followed you around the course on Saturday at one point but didnt know what you looked like in person to chat to you. I may have done whilst you were marshalling on sunday and not known it?

Probably not matey... I was at post 30ish just after the mud run... but I was only on till about 10. I bought the flight in the aircraft at the auction the night before so dashed off for that. You'll have seen my SWMBO though... big green LSE parked on the concrete pan... wearing a tabard type high vis and of course... she's...erm... well.. a dusky maiden if you get my meaning.. I suspect the only one there! :lol:
Next year we'll get a pint matey!

Me and my mates didnt realise there was an auction until 4pm on Sunday. Bit late then!
I saw loads of lse's so prob did see it but didnt realise!!!

Only thing I broke was the bracket that holds the sockets for the towing electrics. Great course, did it twice, sometimes following easy signs, sometimes hard and a couple that said extreme. Didn't get stuck at all in a standard 300Tdi disco...difflock in use a lot though!
BTW Wizard, saw you driving off with caravan in tow on Sunday afternoon

Always a pleasure to hep a fellow mud clubber mate. I was Recovery 1 out on the courtse, I seem to remember heping a blue Disco 200Tdi with a mud club spat on it who did his rear diff, so I found a spare and he found me a cup of tea in return and a burger after I dragged him off the course. Never did get your name, sorry.
