Good work mate , field looks nice and flat , might remove the chocks from the van.

Just back from the site after helping with the setup. There is a gentle slope down to the big top, I'd leave the chocks in.

Cheers buddy , they'll be staying put.

What's the phone signal like? Anyone getting 4G ?

Will there be a hairdryer running charitable donation service?  My phone I think I can do without

I'm sure we can come to an arrangement if needed.

Not the best HH, didn't notice any 4G although did often have 3G.

Kombi Sleepover Arrivals: The turning into Ashgrove Farm from the main road is quite small and easy to miss, please make sure you slow down in plenty of time to turn. We are working on improving the signage asap.

From google earth it looks like we go past Ardley Quarry then a few hundred yards down the road on the right is the farm entrance. A large house on the right appears visible from the road at the entrance to the farm. Am I correct?

Yep. There is a small sign for "Ashgrove Farm" in front of the house and just before the turning but the hedges are quite overgrown so it's easy to miss.

It's a small dirt track road so everyone needs to slow down and indicate early.

Cool , traffic permitting we're heading up when I finish work , hope to see you all later tonight.
M25 Southside not looking good though

Celebrity guests.

As we are going to a wedding tomorrow, we couldn't stay at the sleepover this year, so we popped over to pay a cheeky visit today.

Weather was great, and everyone was getting set up for a great weekend, only problem is there is a lack of Wi-Fi so not many reports getting out from the party, so here are a few photos to whet the appetite.

Tim must be going out of his mind. A whole weekend without Facebook or Twitter

Ah we had so much fun. Location was ideal, especially for those of us with kids and dogs. We didn't bother anyone, kids could run free

WOW ! What an absolutely fantastic weekend. A huge thanks to Tim and everyone involved with the organisation of The Kombi Sleepover. It's difficult to imagine how much we packed so much into the long weekend. We decorated our vans (and ourselves!), danced to 80's tunes from DJ Tullalah and a fab live band, ate together, drank together, sang together, watched our dogs have their own show, had a mini sports day, relived those great TV game shows, but most of all we had enormous fun with friends old and new.
As the forum goes from strength to strength so does the sleepover. Can't wait until the next one!

FAB pics Dizzy - yet to down load ours

What a great weekend with great company and great Brazi Bays  

Well done TimV and everyone that helped, took part and attended, got to be the best ever!

You were worthy winners, loads of homemade effort and a brilliant result in turning Tallulah into very 80s Pacman - loved it. Well done all of you.

Also, several people congratulated and thanked me for the DJ sets on Saturday night, I am truly humbled by your praise and just want to say it was an absolute pleasure to play to such an appreciative audience. I can honestly say I enjoyed DJing for you as much, if not more, than you guys enjoyed listening and dancing to the tracks I played and look forward to the opportunity to do it again as soon as I can.


DJ Tallulah

I can't get enough of your sets, Keith. I may not be the perfect demographic but they always bring a smile to my face.
