I’m still in catch-up mode with regards to the blog postings. Tens of thousands of visitors at a country house in the middle of Shropshire meant an essentially internet-free weekend…

CamperJam #16 was indeed at Weston Park, near Telford and it’s one of the most recognised and hotly anticipated VW events in the UK. This was Moe’s Christmas present and it was a much bigger hit than the previous years burger press. For the record, Moe doesn’t really do burgers… Joe however…

This coming weekend is my birthday weekend, so Moe has a surprise program of events for me hence I’m trying desperately to get the blog as up-to-date as possible. Will she be able to surpass a “Burger press” or a “Weekend at Camper Jam”?

Plenty of entertainment for adults and kids with bands playing most of Friday until Sunday. It was a much bigger festival than we expected with over 20,000 visitors.

We were booked in the VW California Club “Club Camping” area where several lines of California’s and Grand California’s were camped. Met lots of folks whom we’ve only interacted with via a forum “handle” and received loads of fantastic ideas for additional toys.

There was a huge VW / Camping shopping area selling everything from the latest Campervan to tent pegs. Plenty of opportunity to purchase loads of stuff you never really knew you needed. And probably didn’t.

Additionally there were a number of VW vehicle shows. The picture below is the inside of an ID Buzz conversion and the lady has lots of low voltage / wattage appliances which allows her to camp off-grid using just the vehicle batteries fed through the tiny 300w inverter.

The weather was a bit mixed and very wet Sunday morning.
