We drove down the Friday night
through steady heavy rain hoping that it would ease of long enough for the
ground to dry out. As we entered the last leg of the journey the rain turned to
a torrential torrent almost bringing the motorway to a stand still. We arrived
to find that it was possible the event had been cancelled, but was asked to stay
just in case, after a 3 hour drive, we were not going any where.
The display nearly set up almost ready to be netted.
In the morning we found that it had stopped
raining and decided to start setting up only to be told that the event was
cancelled. We slowly started to pack away with the possibility of not being able
to leave the site until the Sunday due to ground conditions. As it
happened with the vehicles in danger of bogging down we managed to escape
(Only just) mid afternoon, and encountered torrential rain en-route home which
did bring the motorway to a stand still, then it cleared just as fast as it came
revealing either side of the motorway flooded fields and swollen rivers.
