                 Weekend wanderers rally sept.23rd.2012
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  as soon as the site is updated........byron
