Onslow

[rustexpert]

I have found with more than one trip to get away from Onslow; I couldn't really do it all on the Monday evening. The best thing to do is sit tight and watch the chaos as everything else trickles out, assist as necessary with the breakdown of the show or towing by which time the light is fading; stay over until the Tuesday morning when traffic is minimal and I find the morning rush hour/business traffic in proper daylight is less problematic than doing battle with the holiday returners in fading light.
The problems this year were that it continued persisting down all night which didn't improve field conditions at all and the toilet providers were a bit keen taking all of them from the working field camping very early on the Monday evening; which the better half wasn't too happy about.

Winter rally, that could break Christmas up a bit! I like the idea! Bank holiday too on Christmas day.

Wasn't impressed with £12.00 entry and really wasn't impressed with the woman shouting and balling at the paying public to get in line outside the payboxs. This was on Saturday. It gave a very poor impression, the more she shouted the more people ignored her.

I left the site at about 7pm on Monday, and drove straight out, no queues, roads towards Chester were fine. the extra couple of hours wait was well worth it.

Left with a tidy van, and a clean engine. Only dissapointment was the awning was wet... but that's rallies!

I went to the GDSF after Onslow and was very surprised by the very large numbers of people in the queue to enter that had pre paid tickets This made the pay desk very quiet indeed in comparison to Onslow
I personally think this could be the way forward
On line ticket booking via the web site were available for the first time this year

I thought I would share a few pictures from Onslow.

No not a trick of a camera, just a case of being in the right place at the right moment. If I remember right, flames came out the top of the chimney as well. It only lasted a couple of seconds I think.
