Camperjam 2012 6 -8 July, Weston Park, Shropshire.

Keep the faith! Bet it's T4s and T5s that have already got stuck, not the trusty rear wheel drive T2s.

Just washed Tallulah in the rain got to popo out for a few things then it's time to get loaded (Tallulah, not me!)

Am I worrying unnecessarily?

News just said rain rain and more rain! Take your waterproofs and wellies (Also a dram of whiskey to keep you warm)

It's your pride and joy, and you don't want to ruin your French trip, so I can understand the concern. Not an easy decision for you. Our other transport is a scooter and a Fiat 500 - I think Roobarb is our best bet!

Maybe call and see if there is any hard ground you can stay on?

Maybe I'll give it a couple of hours and take a view later.

Scooby is about to leave, wellies and waterproofs packed (and shorts for Saturday)
Hope to see you all there

We'll push you out Absinthe rather than have you worry.

Cheers Tim. Almost packed. On our way in about an hour.

On our way now.As always later than planned and I don't have any wellies - run out of time to buy them. Husband nearly tried to abandon the trip after several tantrums thrown by our toddler this morning but here we come slowly but steady...

Oh - just saw a bloke putting sand bags around his drive! Hope we won't get stuck on our way there

What size Welles do you need? We may have some spares.

Number 5 but don't trouble yourselves - I just got my hiking boots instead so will be fine

We nearly got stuck in huge pool of water - good Rudi is not lowered! And now we have a stop as one of the wipers slides out!

OK - back on the road, slowly and steady

Due to Oli being sent home from school with a temperature, Tallulah along with Serena and friends (Craig & Caroline) plus Frank (Serena's dad) and his partner Liz, and Ashley (Serena's brother) are now all on there way although a little later than planned.

Oli and I plan to arrive tomorrow morning providing he is feeling better.

Sorry to miss the vodka and rain/mud fun!

Good old British spirit guys and girls...Its like a test run for next years Glastonbury Enjoy

Hi All
What the weather like down there - just stopped raining in Sheffield and we are hoping to come down Saturday morning.
Can I please have your honest opinion on whether to bring the wife or son.
Thanks
Marcus

It was a mud slide when we arrived but it hasn't rained for some hours now and everything is drying out. The Kombis are splattered with mud but we're pitched and having fun. You can find us in front of a particularly tall tree, main showground behind us to the left.

I say come.

Well done you lot, look at having all of the mud splattered as a bit of a beauty treatment and when you wash it off next week they will sparkle back to their glory

Sorry for rushing off this morning without saying bye. Wasn't looking forward to being stuck for hours in the mud so risked it up the back field and got to the road. Good luck and enjoy the rest of your day. Marcus and Ali

No probs Marcus - great to see you both, and thanks for the beads!

Wow - just back after a good journey home, sitting with a cup of tea. What a superb weekend all - Ben and I had a great time in your company - look forward to the next one. I didn't take any photos, but I know loads of you did so others can see what went down. T4/T5 in those conditions? No fear - rear wheeled Kombi all the way!!

Top weekend. Looked like it might be a bit of a problem to start with but once we were in situ all was good.

Trixie got 4th place for best veteran and Alfie got 3rd place for best trick in the dog show. They'll be signing autographs at BeachBuggin'

Pictures to follow.

Sorry we left early Gaynor's back giving problems and hard work with the dogs (kennels let us down). Got stuck on the way out had to stop because a van in the way after some pushing got going again. Good to see everyone again. Hope everyone gets home safe - Tim

Great to see everyone again. Had a top weekend and the girls had a ball (many thanks to the Happy Family from the Happyhouse for making them so welcome)

Blog to follow (with video) when I find some time.

And to think, I nearly wimped out!

Hey Guys
Another Great Brazi Weekend - thanks for the Event Shelter and Disco Tim
We had enjoyed seeing everyone and meeting some new faces it was FAB
Fun in the Sun and by the Moon Light (and in the rain and mud at times)
We even made other campers jealous with our Saturday Night Disco
Just finished our tea after putting everything away
Enjoyed it all - photos to follow

PS
On the way home stopped for fuel at the M5 services just after junction 3
Scooby did not really want to go home - so he would not start!
AA arrived within 40mins and it was the starter motor that had packed up
Bump started Scooby and drove home without stalling it!
Used the A44 route through the Cotswolds
No cars and Sun all the way - Cool Drive

Bit of a grey start as me and Tim arrived



but had no option but to keep smiling



Was a bit muddy but Dazdubs shinny new paint job brightened the day



The following morning the sun was shinning over campo brazzo and all looked good



Even though the trade area was still a bit of a mess



As the sun started to set Saturday evening





It was time to party





Big thanks to Lillyvdub for the cakes and Absinthe, Lulu and North Poles for the headache in the morning .

Can't wait for next year

Ended up chancing the M40. No problems at all. Slowed down to 40mph for about 5 mins at Silverstone but that was all. Plain sailing all the way. Ended up in a bit of a convoy with 2 other bays and a splitty as we got onto the A34
