Salute!

[Steve J]

I use classic AA route planner. I gives the distance, time and directions, all for free

Some initial thoughts on the day:

Seemed much busier than last year (6K advance tickets sales).
Much more space around the dispay/demo games, so easier to see what's going on.
Lighting gave me and my chums a headache and the acoustics as well.
So much to see that it's hard to take it all in.

When mind and body rested will put some thoughts on my Blog.

No matter how many time I ask - or how nicely - Google refuses to give me the driving distance 

I think you head for New York, turn right and keep going for three and a half thousand miles. You have to leave your car at New York though!

Dang! It didn't work either! 

Thanks for the intial report  however 
The largest I've been to is HISTORICON - perhaps half the attendance on the biggest day.
Hope the Pendrakeneers did well!

I'm waiting for the tunnel!

I'm waiting for the tunnel! 

Trump will get it blocked, can't have any non-mericans having easy access.

It will be a big, beautiful one-way tunnel!

Was good to have a chat with the Pendraken guys today, seemed to be a good turnout as usual.

What!

There was time to chat?

Was always told that each trader had a 6 deep scrum in front of them.

So, is Battleground a North Yorkshire show? Or a County Durham show?

And, yes, these things do matter [to a Yorkshireman!]  

I think you meant to ask if it was a North Riding show

How anything can be 'historically' part of North Yorkshire is beyond me.

Hello everyone!!
I'm back in France, excellent day at Salute, and really happy to have met Leon (even if it was a few minutes)
what a pity that we do not have such an event in France ...... but why am I not English ??

Eric,
You are not English because:
You have:
Pride, sophistication, taste, manners, a refined palate, culture, democracy, liberty, style, and most importantly, a healthy distrust of the rich and Royals!

but why am I not English ??

Just proves the Flanders and Swann point - THE ENGLISH ARE BEST. I wouldn't give tuppence for all of the rest. It's not that they are naturally bad - it's the fact that they are foreign that makes them so mad......

Being French does not automatically qualify for "a refined palate", there is a couple of Frenchmen I know who's tipple of choice is.......Fosters Larger!

Do you a swap Eric. You can have wargaming, rain, crap food, moaning xenophobes and fat women, I'll have the sunshine, space, best bread in the world, wine and slender young things who can discuss something other than fake tans and boy bands - quite happy to forego wargaming for that.

We tried being English for a lengthy period a good while ago - we didn't care for it!
besides:
Vive la différence entre les nations d'autre ennui découle.

(Hopefully I said what I think I said - Google approved it - but the Google wouldn't let me drive to Salute!)
