It's too "happy campers" in the field for me but better in the woods. Some rowdies, especially a couple of shrieking women, kept me awake all Friday night to past 3am, so I was only half-cock on Sat - fell asleep in Lofty's talk (no fault to him, he was grand) as I was so knackered. It also made me cold and shivery ... and late for Paul's w/s as I fell asleep again. If I ever meet the women ... !!! Woods also have a public track running through them so one is continually stared at.
Many of the demos/free courses were very good, specially Paul Kirtley (& his pay-for Nav course), Ben Orford and Ben McNutt. Falconry good, also snakes & tarantulas, and the ferret . Nice ice cream and good tea/coffee stall, beer quite good. The farm stall had some nice food but I'd brought food from home farmers' markets. And it's always nice to meet friends, specially those I'd only met online .
Don't think I'd go again ...
