Bongo Fury

As we have a new facility on here to log our collective experiences, this trip back in 2007, (as a few will remember) was our first outing to the world of all things Bongo. Quite a memorable one too!

Its a brief if not fairly accurate intro as to what to expect from this warm & cuddly community.

Wow...thanks for reviving that one.

I think that that weekend will be forever engrained in my memory as one of the best despite (or maybe bacause) of the weather and the extreme company (rearrange the last few words if you like.

cheers

It was a fab weekend remember waking up in the middle of the night thinking we had been burgled. such a mess..

Dont know what all the fuss was over I never felt or heard a thing

I remember being woke up in the middle of the night, in the howling hurricane Harry downpour, by Harry ,saying we have a little problem , the marquee is wrapped around my bongo.
I can laugh about it now but at the time i was ready for packing up and going home. i had a bad back, i was covered in mud and the thought of our brand new marquee wrapped around Harry's bongo and a tree was not pleasant, but we sorted it and had a brill fancy dress party afterwards.

I remember it well getting woken up by Amanda saying the tents collapsed, me being under the influence of stella and her friends didnt have a clue what Amanda was talking about untill I tried to stand up and go for a wee, only to find I was encapsulated in wet tent material.

Went out side to try to put up the tent, only to find a few other (most other people) battening down the awnings , much to my relief that I wasnt getting attacked by aliens or pratical jokers amongst the bongo campers deciding to pull out all the tent pegs

this happened another 2 times during the night, when the wind and rain had blown past the morning was a sheer picture of utter disaster , but we all pulled our efforts together and had a great weekend dispite the wether

What a weekend, one to never forget anyhow


since then weve camped in more gail force winds at wales albeit not a patch on buxton, heavy snow at stainforth and the usaul downpours.

But its never stopped me going away for a weekend since with the bongoing community
