Carfest South Draws to a Close

Today is the final day of Carfest South 2015, and in many ways I wish that I'd been there. (There are some brilliant bands and singers performing tonight, including Take That, Level 42, The Shires and Midge Ure, amongst others.)

Despite being a local, I thought that I'd actually see more cars around the village than I have done, and I was absolutely gutted this morning when I heard from @CarfestEvent's rather inactive Twitter account that the parade of cars (including ~50 Ferraris) had been cancelled due to muddy conditions getting off the site. (Not sure how things will end later today then - especially since the Army helped to lay two miles of temporary roads on the site over seven days ago.)

I wish that this bad news had been better publicised, as there were people in the village turning up to watch this, much as they did they other day to watch Chris Evan's "Dirty Dozen" drive through the village on the B3400.

Maybe next year...
