If the veiws expressed by a few of the other traders was owt to go by, I don't think that Mr & Mrs Web will be the only folk giving it a miss next year. Where were the visitors? A lowly turnout by anyones standards.

A mate in a 130 did the Extreme course and claimed it be 'like green laning but without the challenge', comprising mostly gravel tracks. Oooooooh dear......

Eastnor is a lovely setting, but it's just that the show ain't that well done :roll: .

Darn shame, really

cheers

Nugget 4x4:
Ive been to Eastnor every year since it moved from West Wycombe, I feel the surroundings for a Land Rover show are the best on offer it's just a shame the organisers dont put more effort in making the enthusiasts feel more welcome. They seem to talk it up every year getting our hopes up ,and as has been previously mentioned , we arrive to find the same shambles.
When we arrived we were directed to our Club Camping slot, "set up where you like" we were told as we came past the organisers cabin so we did ,only to then be told to reset up our caravan as we had been told nothing about lines or gangways . This straight away knocks the edge off what could be a fantastic show.
As for stretching the show ,there were vast empty spaces between each section which only served in my opinion to make the walk from the Club camping an expedition as I know that quite a few people did not get to see all of the attractions as they were to far apart .
I wont say that I will not go again to Eastnor as I do like the site  but I do feel that perhaps LRW should really sit down and get views from across the spectrum of the various attendees so they could try to please more who attend , or perhaps return to the West Wycombe site  :idea:

Hi all. I was new to all this and last years eastnor was the first show we did, I enjoyed last year but not this one, I know we all moan whatever the weather but walking through fields & fields to no where in the blistering heat wasn't enjoyable and left us fealing quite ill no matter how much we drank, the extream course, considering the warnings of 'you'll break it!!' was a little less than i was expecting and having spoke to the traders thay were a little fed up. beautiful surroundings but not sure we would return, think we would rather billing  or peterborough... we spent 4 hours walking around trying to find the mud stand having been directed all over by the marshalls/organiser caravan.. not impressed by the organisation, sorry.

Jan:
We went ...we saw and we did the extreme coarse

minnetonka:
Well this was my fourth trip to Eastor, and each year it seems to be getting more 'low key'.
(I'll probalby go again, but only because I am in the ALFC and know I'll have a larf with them regardless.
Frankly as a show Billing and even Peterborough are way better. (shame LRO dont use Stoneleigh any more though.)
