Just checked my goggle map & it still says 15mins from the white Harte to Allington Farm. Mine must be set on the way I drive then.  :P

Iancider

Nope,

Google must have been taken over by the Met Office and so the forecast journey time changes frequently! ;D

fullpint

Weather was 100% perfect.. Company the same. Good turn-out. Will load a few pics later

Bulldog Bri

Was a good turn out and worth going if only to see so many people getting Chuffed around the field and square and round bales being wrapped! :o

Anna's doing a few photo's later as well. ;) (of the show ;D)

Moleman

It was a really good day. Great weather good company & lots to see.  8)
I do wish they would let us out the way we came in though. It was very challenging for me & Fullpint to exit the place. But worth the effort.  8)

Bulldog Bri

It was a rather convoluted way out ??? and seeing the way we came in wasn't being used, Why couldn't it be used for a way out at that time of day, no more exhibiters were going to coming in! ::)

Pilgrim Anna

A great day out! But need your woodwork skills again Colin. I cracked my wooden trim on back bumper again :(. Other than that a perfect day. Enjoy the pics.






















Moleman

Nice pictures Anna. :)
Ok what did you do this time?  ::) Just get Bri to drop one off to me & I will see what I can do.   ;D

fullpint

It was a little tricky getting out Colin.. I did notice a hay bail forming underneath your car  :D

Thanks Colin. Just the usual of me reversing too quickly into our hedge! :(

Well the hay came in handy for the house rabits.  8)

You will have to cut the hedge a bit smaller then mate.  ;)

Iancider

Yes it was a good day. 

It was little ironic to put the piglets and lambs alongside the barbie. And given current trends, I thought rhe horses looked worried too!

Good to see a gender balance in our attendance and a good age spread too.  Loved meeting Steve and Sandy's Gandchildren - they are SOooo CUTE!

I had some other little visitors in my car - helped in by their parents who declined to politely ask first.  So I watched from a distance and thought it okay but spent the journey howm glued to a sticky steering wheel.  So little visitors are okay but could the parents give them a wipe-down first please! ??? >:(

We also enjoyed the spy in the sky helicopter video camera - Hopefully some video will be posted - may post some myself!

The exit was err interesting - I think we should propose an alternative next time.  I agree that the guy on the entrance could have held the traffic for our exit.  It was also doubly daft because the car park for the visitors was closer to the exit than the entrance!

Yes, I had a little visitor or two as well. Had a good go at the switches, everything turned on. Must of thought it was pretty crap 'cos nothing worked! I always switch the electrics off when parked.

I had a yuk burger, would have been better off playing squash with it! Was going to suggest having a whip round so we could have shared a cup cake. A chip van would have been very welcome there though or maybe a spud-u-like.

We spotted some celebs, Rolf in the the chuffy train and Lara Croft in her best shorts. Half expected her to whip out a gun and shoot down the drone.

Still, very lucky with the weather which helped make it a good day out. I agree they should have let us out of the entrance we came in through, wasn't like there were queues waiting to get in

Iancider

Well done Ian. A great vid. And thanks for letting my son Joao have a go! :)

Krazyken

Brilliant Video Ian.  Nice to see my Great Grandad is still alive and well. ;)

Moleman

Granddad is doing ok Ken. The toilet breaks are getting more frequent but nothing a pair of strong elastic on the bottom of his trousers won't help.  :P

fullpint

Excellent video Ian.. That's a handy little camcorder you have there.. I must get one... Whats the make and model?

Its a GoPro Hero 3 Black Fullpint.  No viewfinder so you cant see what you are shooting but with wide angle you dont miss much.  The GoPro Black has Bluetooth and you can remote control it with phone/ipad.  You might whince at the price but it will also film fish underwater!

Iancider

I am pleased you enjoyed the video but I was so impressed with the quadcopter video camera.  I've tried to find some published footage from it but nothing yet.  Here is what it was

And here is a perfect showreel from a rival.   8)

I have also been looking at some of the cheaper video helicopters on ebay which start from about £40..... not sure how good they are for that sort of money but certainly interesting.

bluehornetrider

I was impressed with how stable it was and when he lost control it just sat in the hover.

Moleman

I had this from the guys that run this show so thought I would share it with you.



We thank all of you who attended the show this year, made it a huge success,
and helped us raise more than £7000 for our Charity Fund.
