I must admit to have only been there once (year before last, but every day for the three days!), and as one would expect, a lot of NB's. However there are a lot of other stalls & odds and sods. Like I said we went there every day of the bank holiday & still did not see it all.
It cannot be that bad we are going again this year :)

we went last year for the first time, on the saturday, and a great day it was.

loads to see and keep you interested, the down part of the day was getting in, a nightmare, then getting out

was another. we stayed overnight at a premier inn and next day visited foxton locks, well worth a visit

except it rained all day, all in all a good weekend.

We had the same problem getting in and out, especially as there had been a fire at a factory nearby and the fire service was sucking water out of the canal, blocking the road in the process :( . This meant a 5 mile detour through the other country lanes I and all the other locals know so it still took an hour to join the back of the que! I'll just get there earlier this year and leave earlier (maybe :wink: ).

Ya boo sucks! what poo weather & guess who did not get to go to Crick :( , bitter disapointment especially as we had pre-paid tickets :cry: . Still the weekend was not a total wash-out I did get to go to Moulsford on the Thames to pick up some of the re-chromed parts for our Freeman, drop the remaining parts off and also collect a full set of window rubbers. This will be the next intallment to the rebuild - putting all those little window parts back together :? .
