With heavy rain and flooding starting the year. A VW meet in early March looked like a damp affair. But the weather has finally started to turn. Making a perfect day for the first Cordwallis VW Meet. The company is the local VW van and lorry specialist and supporter of local shows, they turned their yard into a huge carpark, by 10:30am it was full up with a selection of air and watercooled vans and cars. We cruised in from home, a mere 10 minutes away. With a small convoy from LTV.
Once the yard was full, it was safe for me and Lily to go exploring, she wandered lines of Campers, leading the way.
Mastering the basics of Camper evolution.
Back at the Camper I nattered while Lily brummed. Paul though decided to lock his keys in the boot of his Rocco along with the club membership paperwork. Window smashing and an £80 taxi ride to gain access were no goes.
Fortunately, a nice RAC man arrived and using a top secret access method returned the keys within a few minutes. He was bribed with an ice cream to keep his mouth shut, but I'm guessing the tale is being shared with all the other patrols.
We dined on a huge burger and ice creams and sat back to watch the world go by. Lily retreated to the shade of Pabs poptop for a bit, leaving me to have another quick walk round.
The Cordwallis crew did a great job, it was a real scorcher of a day (for March anyway) and it was ice creams all round.
With another walk round done and Lily getting tired (and the fact it was nearly GP time on TV) we decided to head home. A brilliant day out. It might have been a concrete yard, but the team put all the right things in place. Good Dubs, good company and good weather.
Steve.
