Thanks for the pics!

Was it busy on Thursday? Spoke to a few people who were there on Tuesday and it sounded as though footfall was pretty low. Would have liked to have visited myself...

Nice pics Giles.

The guy driving that VW Amarok had driven over some plastic bins as we were leaving. He was having a right old time trying to get 'em out from underneath.

He had drawn quite a crowd of pisstakers. :laugh:

it was a lot busier than 2 years ago although we were there for opening two years ago so we parked 20 yards from the entrance tent this year we were right up on the top car park but we worked the morning so only went for a few hours, mainly to see a few friends working their for barrywood, and saw a few others.

wasnt much free stuff knocking around this year, didnt get any caps or anything but couldnt be arsed bull shitting them to get stuff haha.

saw a low loader on the herbst stand i want and that strimmer head on the kubota, actually i could have had all the kubota stand want a 1 ton, 1.5 ton, 5 ton and 8 ton hehe :)
