This
was the second year for the Barnard Castle event. We drove there on
Friday, and by the time the tent was set up it started chucking it down!
Fortunately, the rain passed by overnight, and while Saturday started
out overcast and cold and windy, it was at least dry. The vehicles were
parked up in the market place, while the various re-enactor displays
were up near the castle. As the day progressed, the clouds cleared and
by the time the BBMF Hurricane flew over, we had blue sky and white
clouds.

| Late
on Saturday night, there was an under-age drinking incident in town,
resulting in a stabbing. This had nothing to do with the event, but on
Sunday morning when we turned up to park, the road was closed and police
forensics were searching the scene. All the vehicles were now to be
parked up at the top of the high street with the re-enactor displays. We
found our way around the back streets and parked up in the new location
for day two. It was nice weather all day, and plenty of public around. |

| It was a 97 mile round trip, including a couple of miles between the town and camp site. After getting home, I worked out I did around 8 miles per gallon up and down the hills on this
trip. Not sure how good or bad that is, but with three people, camping
gear, the heavy steel observers/child seat, radios and wooden truck
body, my Dodge is going to be a tad heavier than a standard WC51. |
