Eskdale Dubfest 31st March -2nd April 2017

The hills around Eskdale are looking stunning today, snow capped with blue skies, fingers crossed for the weekend!

 

Depending on which weather forcast you look at its either going to rain all weekend or be full sun.

 

Sorry to be a killjoy but looks like rain Martin !

Apparently the site is a wee bit soggy at the moment and really needs a few days of dry weather to dry it out.
I'll bring my wellies and waterproofs anyway.

 

I've got some wellies. Left them outside the front door last night and a fox came and peed in them. Will bring them anyway.

 

I bet it was looking for your foxgloves and got peed off only finding boots

 

If you believe the BBC then its forcast mostly dry after 1pm on Friday.

Theres some lovely pubs in the local area so I'm sure you'll all be fine, have a great time all and see you at techenders, go to Portugal tomorrow

 

It's a tad wet at the moment up here, praying that it dries up!

 

Chuck Fish is playing at the Boot Inn on saturday night again like last year.

Have fun in Portugal Congi. Bring back some of the sun please.

 

Never heard of him but found https://soundcloud.com/chuck-fish on Google - that him? We should get over about 8pm Friday then have NO plans for Saturday or the evening so looking forward to sunbathing and maybe walking to a pub if our 3 kids are being nice

 

There music on at the Woolpack up the road on Friday night ! Might be worth a look.

I like that!

 

Thats the bloke.

The Woolpack have put on a shuttle service with their army truck for the past 3 years which saves a 1/2 hour walk and the Boot inn and Brook house inn (with the couple of hundred whiskeys they stock) is only about 5 minutes walk from the site.

Looks like its back to rain again.

 

I remember Chuck Fish from last year. I thought he was brilliant - he had a besotted young wife who obviously thought so too.

 

Arrived just after 9pm after a nightmare journey / day and parked on the hardstanding bit till the morning. Catch you all tomorrow

 

probably the driest spot on the site, and not far to the loo.
what was the nightmare, just the traffic................

 

Accelerator cable snapped 1 hour before we were due to leave, managed to get a spare from a splitty and join in to old one with chock block then coming via Carlisle we came across 3 different roads that were closed with no obvious diversions.

 

I came over you way last week and no road works that I saw......they pop up all over...good fix on the cable

 

So.... we are apparently at Fisherground campsite not where you are

Will try and dry off a bit before working out where we have actually booked and paid for...

No this isn't an April fools!
