We are off camping from Friday til Sunday - do you know if they will have showers or is it true festival site?

Also anyone know if MrTrolley is at CarFest North as I don't know how we'll get everything from the car to tent and three kids!

I'm a little bit over excited...

Yep, we're taking my parents campavan so will be in slightly more luxury! We camped at Carfest South and they had lots of showers, which were pretty good. The email I got a while back said Mr Trolley would be there too.

Can't wait!

We're going too, hoping to get there fri pm, but wondering how we are going to fit everything in the car!
DB, SIL and DN will also be there in their orange vw camper.

We will hopefully arive around 6pm getting it into the car is OK but getting it from car to site... will try and fit wheelbarrow in unless Mr Trolley is onsite.

I know this is a silly question but i need a hairdryer if i'm going to see James Martin - what the likely hood of the shower block having a plug?

We're going too, on Friday arvo. The weather is looking tip-top! Re Mr Trolley, I have been trying to contact the organisers since last week to confirm trolley hire. I'm a little worried, as on Mr Trolley's website, his festival listing does not include Carfest North. Camping with 3 young one's and making numerous trips to and from the car is not ideal hey!
Hmm, electricity...... you might need to go see one of the caravanners stylelostinlabour!!!!

The site map and timetable are now on the website.

Yes I've tried contacting them too and no reply we are only up the road so can always take two cars and pop the wheelbarrow in.

We'll be the family with the wild three children in a wheelbarrow with fairy lights attached!

Just got the email from them with more details.

NO MR TROLLEY!!!!!!!

They suggest bringing your own. Hmmmmm

NO MR TROLLEY....... GGGGGRRRRRRRR!!!
Of course, if I hadn't have ever heard of Mr Trolley then I would be none the wiser, but my gosh, how we were teased when we heard he was at CF South hey! Oh well, I had better re-think my packing pile!!!!

Stylelostinlabour · 06/09/2012 20:22

grrrr indeed - right the wheelbarrow it is

I cant believe how much stuff we need for two days camping its the same as two weeks!

Oh so excited now never been a festival and with the kids!
