We set off from Nantgarw at the ungodly time of 6 o'clock, to get to the rally by the 9 o'clock start, with twenty two bleary eyed people on board . After the usual pit-stop at the services en-route we arrived in plenty of time to register our presence .We were given a lime green bracelet , to be worn on the wrist , and a light green label to fix to our detectors , along with a map of the fields available and their layout . Because the site was so big there were tractors available to take you to whichever field you wanted , at a charge of one pound per ride . The coach was parked near the entrance on very hard ground , so we thought it would be ok there all day , but , as the rain started falling the farmer sent us a message telling us to move it into the nearby farmyard onto a hard standing . That was a very wise move as the entrance became a quagmire as the day wore on and many people left the site early because of the bad weather , many having to be towed out with a tractor . Because the coach had moved and some members were out on the fields at the time , it did cause a little panic until they found out where it had been moved to . There were lots to see at the site , a big marqee with trade stands selling everything from detectors , coils , headphones etc etc , a bar to get you wet inside too ! It was a very well organised event and even had portable toilets out in the fields as well as in the camping area ............the full report will be available on www.raremdc.co.uk (http://www.raremdc.co.uk) as soon as the site is updated........byron |
