If you are going away somewhere and don't mind meeting up with other Bongo owners or if you've been somewhere & want to tell us about it & stick up your photos, put the details here.

Bongo still on loan to the Kiwis & now in Scotland.

M/home out on hire.

As for the brown Croma (or nothing) - just an in joke on another forum.

Ohh and I can probably cycle there almost as fast as I could drive it.

So near again...

This year Cambridge Rock Festival is at Haggis Farm Barton, near Cambridge. Last 4 years it has been at Woodgreen Animal Shelter Godmanchester...just a couple of miles outside Huntingdon! I could have invited you all to it as I shall be there as steward co-ordinator and have freebie tickets to distribute :-(

Anyway - means I can't be there for this meet as I will be on site in a few hours. Have a great time and if you can hear the rock and blues ...we have the sound up too loud lol

Hi, oh no I saw this too late to join you im only down the road in yaxley peterborough, I could have passed by for a chat!

Ive just spent all day looking for new tyres for my bongo, totally confused about whether to choose 215's all round or not?

anyway if any of you fancy passing on your way home to help this amateur fit a mason alarm then let me know. we are going to drive to montpellier on fri, so we thought we better fit one. (just had new rad fitted)

wishing i could have joined you........Pamela

Well, back from the shadow of the A14 :lol: Nice little site with decent enough facilities and only 5 minutes walk from a pub that did 2 meals (anything on the menu) for £10 between 5.30pm and 7pm 8)
I didn't go until Friday, so missed the torrential rain on Thursday night =D> but weather good for the rest of the weekend. Despite the road noise, everybody seemed to enjoy themselves and would probably return there. Forgot to take my camera :oops: but, hopefully, Richard (Technophobe) may post some :wink:

it is a shame about the road noise there, we hear it in the distance from a mile or so away, nice location, perhaps the one at Bromholme Lane near to Brampton might me a little quieter for another visit to Huntingdon.......and you can still walk/cycle to town and........ it's about 50 yards to the pub.....Sorry I couldn't get to see you all again but I was in sunny and hot Narfark at Snetterton...........there was a different Traffic noise there.... :lol: ... the 24hour race... see you all again at Mablethorpe

Thank you John for the invitation to join you at this picturesque little site. It was great to meet up with some of our favourite friends again. Enjoyed an extra day in the sunshine. Sorry no good photos :( I really must get organised with my camera, but I was too busy relaxing, chatting and soaking up the sun :D

Cheers Anna

Unfortunately no pictures of the Bongos, I thought someone else was taking them. next time I'll make sure I carry the camera.

Thanks to all and Anna =D> for the very amiable discussions.
