We ate at one of the restaurants inside the halls. we had cheeseburger and chips and a drink each and it was £15 and very nice it was too.

We went with friends and they had enough after 21/2 hours so we had 61/2 hours driving for such a short time there. if we had gone on our own I think we would have been there for much longer. didn't think it was too crowded either.

We were looking at the conway Crusader, can't believe how much it's changed. where the oven was they have just stuck a microwave but hadn't made the hole smaller it looked awful. we thought the mattresses were thinner too and the main frame poles looked thinner. Not impressed one bit.

We went on the Wednesday, OK to start with but a bit crowded by dinner time. No where to sit, legs aching, went home after 3.5hrs, enjoyed it though.

We ordered the new Tyrepal TB99 normal price £135 show price £99.99
Got a 'Four Seasons' thermal screen cover Normal price £90 show price £75
And a Fiamma Awning Light Normal price £34 show price £34 but at least we saved the P&P

Hi everyone, we headed off on the Wednesday to have a look around (and find the bargain Safari chef!)  Found 3 outlets with the Safari, all starting at higher 'Printed Price Marks' and then altered down (lovely word that...DOWN) to a lower price as the guy next door lowered his!. Some way across the hall 17 was Border Leisure, and it would seem their price started lower than the others, and remained so. So spent our cash with them. £65.00. Happy, and they looked after it for us until we decided to leave. Only went into 'vans that WERE WE thinking of changing, would be on our 'interested list' . Came away from that section happy with what we have!. No cost! The wife met an interesting couple of men ( not as a couple , please understand) who it seems were also looking at 'vans with drop down beds...we/they trailed around and had interesting banter together whch made a longish day very friendly, and interesting. We lost them among the German vans and never met up again. Just how they got on we shall never know.                            We took our own food and sat and eat in the attrium. This is something we would not ordinarily do, but on previous years found grub to be seriously expensive, but have to sayvery nice. But with nowhere to sit and eat it , even within the place purchased.

Thanks for all of your thoughts on the cadac.....we did see loads of folk with them, mostly the Cari Chef (CARRY Chef...Ha Ha) We also bought a 'camper' van cushion, 3 pairs of pants for me!!!!  and 4 cheeses from Snodonia. Had to tear the wife away from the stall selling Radio Controlled Helicopters though. Told her she did not like heights! Not a big spend, nothing outrageous, and a lovely day. The two 'ol boys the wife met...did not come home with us!, seems they don't like bed making up with cushions, and the 'drop down' variety were either very expensive for the quality job, or cheap and cheerfull for the others. Easy peasy decission to make.

Certainly an excellent show, I bought a cheap return ferry crossing for next summer without even having to go there.
