Cotswold Camping 2010







Hoody Bear at the bar














We went away for a RHOCaR camping to the Cotswold's and what a great time we had too.



We stayed at the Norman Knight pub which was great, great food, it's own micro brewery and a very nice but small well kept camping field with access to the pub for showers and toilets.



Friday afternoon we went for the ProDrive factory tour, what can I say but what a brilliant place, various Aston's and Subaru's in different states of preparation or repair for racing and rallying, engines and boxes being either built, reconned or being put through their paces on test rigs. And on top of that loads of historic race and rally cars in the heritage centre that you can hop in and out of, including both Colin McRae and Richard Burns' Subaru's.



Saturday we had a Run out, I got as far as Moreton in Marsh when I had the cam belt on the S7 snap, but as I have a pinto fitted in the car no harm was done and the RAC patrol that came out to me had a new belt in the van, so with the patrolman's help (who turned out to be a total star) we replaced it at the side of the road , I did at one point have visions off me going home with the Hood on the back of a recovery truck. The rest of the RHOCaR guys & girls went on a very scenic trip round the Cotswolds, stopping for lunch in Bourton on the Water, and passed a well known Top Gear presenters house, then back to the pub by four thirty with me and the repaired S7 turning up about five minutes later.



Sunday morning we packed up our tents after breakfast as some of the group were off on another run out to a pub for lunch, the rest of us had booked in for lunch at the Norman Knight. afterwards we had a walk round the village before saying our goodbyes and making our way home.
