My tent only leaked a bit on Thursday night. We had no real rain for the rest of the weekend until this morning so the tent was packed away nice and wet. No breakdowns during the weekend so all good. Less Commers than last year but what with the economy, a few vans being off the road at the moment and the weather we had a nice 'select' turnout. Maybe next year we'll make it a tad later in May in the hope of even better weather.
It was cold at night but the party tent was nice and toasty!

A fews 'pis' espec for the Woolfster:

Some of my favourite vans there.

We would have loved to have come but this Parenthood thing has knocked us for six. Hopefully by the next meet we'll be a bit more organised!

And Gary (Swampster) I haven't forgotten I need to get a load of beer to you at a meet soon!

Nancy (nancye on here) doesn't get on here very often and I'm not sure if she has a thread as such for Tramps. FWIW Tramps has pretty much been her full-time home for the past 7 years. AFAIK she's the only CVF who actually lives in her Commer (Dodge).
