There aren't many places in the country where you can go to a drag strip, car show, night club (depending if the VW guys have put up their party marquee
), fun fair and camp?
Billing Aquadrome is £90 for 2 Adults over the same weekend for a tent.
Wigrams camp site near Warwick (which is a field with a loo block) is £16 a night
So let me get this straight, you go to a FORD Transit event, but hope that the VOLKSWAGON guys provide the evening entertainment, and not in the form of trumps when discussing how much they spent on their new parts compared to Transit which 50%+ cheaper...
Wouldn't catch me in Billing Sewage-drome - smelling bad when the wind changes after the Eastern district have had a curry
£90 and they're not even on a hill to see you coming (Cogenhoe on the other hand IS on a hill).
Camping in Bracelands in the middle of the Forest of Dean is £17.50 per night for a campervan, and the Air Tattoo camping is just £15 per night for example.
It just seems to me a bit expensive for what it is, and I wonder where the funds go for all the events that are held nearly every weekend for most of the year, it certainly doesn't appear to go into infrastructure.
I feel for campers of Pod as it just seems to be a raw deal: Pod would really benefit from solid brick buildings, at least this way you would have an actual soundproofed nightclub where the music can stay loud beyond 10pm: beyond Pod, loud music can be heard all around and it does get really annoying when nearly every weekend there is a new event playing loud.
I suppose its easy for me, you can see my avatar location says "Pod", in truth I live under 4 miles from the start-line of the drag strip so I can enter and leave when it pleases me, and go home to a nice warm bed!
