The Festival

Testing Times

So after the lovely drive I had as described in the previous blog, I arrived at Inverness and had time for some lunch then go get some food/drink shopping.

Then it was off to Bogbain Farm, just outside Inverness for this years Brew At The Bog. A few of us went last year, and had a brilliant time so thought we would try it again and brought more friends along too.

Got there just before gates opened, and a short wait then into the campervan field. Wasn't long before I was set up and enjoying a cold cider out the fridge.




More friends arrived and we even had a van warming party with wristbands for entry. Thankfully we didn't have any unwelcome visitors!!





As the sun went down, and a few more drinks too, we headed off into the arena for a bit and then the after party was back at the van. 

Think we had about 8 or 9 of us in the van at one point, bit of a squeeze but it was certainly warmer than outside or in a tent.

There was no problems with the power/lights/tunes all night, and it did go on till about 7.30am the first night, so am glad the solar panels/batteries were doing their job.

Had a shower when I eventually got up, that was great to have at a festival and so glad I put a wetroom in the van.

Also cooked several times over the weekend, and the fridge seemed to keep everything chilled but there was a problem with the freezer as ice was melting at one point so need to look at that.




The rest of the weekend was similar.. food, drink, party, sleep, repeat... good fun though!

And as for the verdict on the van, very pleased with it and noticed a couple niggly things I need to sort, but the big test will be next Thursday when am away for 17 days!
