Enjoy.
I would have called down to say hello but as far as I know we are heading off in the van this weekend ourselves.

Thanks, by all the reports on here I suspect that we will. Sorry to miss you but I hope you enjoy your weekend also.

I have your membership card here if you want to swing by Antrim on the way.

I think we will be passing very close to your place as we intend to head to Ballintoy after Belfast. If we are late out of Belfast on Sunday we may stay at Shanogue but probably makes more sense for us to head up to Ballintoy.

BTW, I thought Ken was holding onto my membership card. I was going to try and swing by his place before the weekend.

You could be right :) - I would need to check. I know I gave some to Ken at Vantastival.

There is a Ford club event on in Portrush this Sunday, so there will be loads of classic cars about. If you are heading to Balintoy it will be busy on most Sundays so unless there very early I would advise leaving it to later to the crowds have left enough space to get parked.

Thanks for that FC. Plan is Belfast's on Sunday so wont be near Portrush. Good to know about how popular Ballintoy is. As it happens, we don't expect to be there until the evening and may stay at the bar in the village. Monday along the north coast.

Just to let folk know there's no fresh water at the Donaghadee Aire as the service point is broken. You can still empty the toilet thought. They reckon it could be up to 6 weeks before the part comes from France.

Nope. This is getting even more weird. LOL
I was down to see Bob.

There were two Adria Visions side by side on the front row on Saturday evening. If you weren't one of them there must have been three visions there.

I an here in my Vision there's no doubt about that. On Saturday night actually on Friday night on my right side was a Hymer from France and an IH on a VW. The Hymer has gone today and the IH VW is still on my left side.

Came into the Donaghadee Aire section to advise everyone that a friend stayed last weekend and around 1.30 am a car came in,tooted the horn a couple of times then left, a few minutes later our friend heard a couple of noises got out of bed to check but could see nothing,thought it may have been the wind or the suspension settle only discovered the next day that their front wheel trims had been stolen.

Wasn`t going to post this due to the amount of crap on this section that has nothing to do with the topic and more appropriate to facebook

It's been a long sis weeks Jack!
Stayed here last night, and although there were two people, fully winter clothed, playing tennis, we heard nothing. The road noise that's apparent now at ten am, was absent all night.
The electricity is not working, but after putting the token in, the water works.
As it got colder we had to put the silverscreens on, so we missed the sea traffic coming and going and the lights twinkling round the coast.
Just nice to be in a very tidy site, and able to chill while having a drink, watch the maritime world go by. Wasn't impressed by the Guinness in Pier 37 though. :up:
