25th June 2012 - Take Down and Travelodge......
A dry night, and a sunny morning.. temperature rising and the mud starts to congeal..
Early breakfast of bacon and egg.. so we can take the kitchen down and start to complete the loading.
Gets quite warm as we start the takedown - and around us Odyssey the LARP games starts coming to life.
I have never seen so much infrastructure for a weekend game. The arena is being built - dragged out on the low loader, toilets, offices, an artic turns up and it is full of Scaffold Planks for unloading.
Meanwhile I plod on.. Susie has back troubles and finds it difficult to bend over - but with care is still managing her part.
Early decision to leave the trailer with Sean, and Bill and the team, safer than trying to leave at the Travelodge. Put all the methanol accessible at the back of the trailer in case of fire - highly inflammable!!.
Bill agrees to take the Coke and the Diet coke at cost so we don't have to take back, and I sell the spare keg for £50 - taking a £30 loss - but still better than taking it all the way to Wales and having to find a way of bringing the empty back......
Manage to get off site at a quarter to four - an hour ahead of my estimate and get to the the travelodge - shower and a nap... Up to feed the dogs at 6pm and a quick walk.
Seems to be the local parking point for the local Chavs - so have a room overlooking the van......
Dinner, burger and chicken dinner and chips in the Little Chef and a bottle of Blossom Hill Blush....
Quiet evening in watching the TV .... better walk the dogs again before sleep...
Morning we will look forward to a breakfast at the Little Chef - diesel in the van, find a recycle place to get rid of the bottles - ( managed to get rid of the black bags in the Little Chef Skip) pick up the trailer and get home......
