Well we’re back from another fantastic weekend, Debbie really should seek employment with the North Wales Tourist Board
This almost certainly was the smallest Bongo meet in the short history of Bongo meets, with only two Bongos for a while until we stumbled across a third – Imagine my surprise whilst walking around the site to be passed by a
kübelwagen only to have the driver, in full American uniform, shout “Oi, Muz!”, stop the car and have a natter for a few minutes!
We arrived on Friday evening after a fun journey on the M56 and A55, presumably some folks do this journey every week
That brazier was great for warming up the cool evening

Time to waft the brazier back into life
Awwwwww
We are NOT amused
Saturday morning and time to put that brazier to good use again
The campsite is huge and in a great setting, with lovely views over the river Conwy
Lots of military trucks on display....
....”three double cheeseburgers, a 12” pepperoni pizza and two extra large donner kebabs”
Most of the owners were happy to show people their pride & joy
Authentic ex-WD Fiamma levelling blocks
Even the bike exhibits were available to small kids and big kids alike
Then onto the vehicle displays....
Getting around the huge site was easy, just grab a ride on an army truck!
....which was fine for threequarters of Team Muz
Then onto the battle re-enactment, where we met up again with herr Bongoist
kübelwagen driver....
....The Hun
The Germans
The Americans
Let battle commence
As in all the war films, the Americans won
Alvis Stalwart, coolest off-roader of them all. Well, maybe a close second behind the Hägglunds BV206
Time to retire to camp....
....and incinerate some more food
Thanks again to Debbie for organizing, a top weekend enjoyed by all
