This was the second year for the Barnard Castle event.
We drove there on Friday, and by the time the tent was set up it started
chucking it down! Fortunately, the rain passed by overnight, and while
Saturday started out overcast and cold and windy, it was at least dry. The
vehicles were parked up in the market place, while the various re-enactor
displays were up near the castle. As the day progressed, the clouds cleared
and by the time the BBMF Hurricane flew over, we had blue sky and white
clouds.

Late on Saturday night, there was an under-age
drinking incident in town, resulting in a stabbing. This had nothing to do
with the event, but on Sunday morning when we turned up to park, the road was
closed and police forensics were searching the scene. All the vehicles were
now to be parked up at the top of the high street with the re-enactor
displays. We found our way around the back streets and parked up in the new
location for day two. It was nice weather all day, and plenty of public
around.

It was a 97 mile round trip, including a couple of
miles between the town and camp site. After getting home, I worked out I did
around 8 miles per gallon up and down the hills on this trip.
