Spring Bank Holiday Rally at Folly Farm, Beckley 2016

This rally saw us return to Folly Farm after a 14 year absense. The Rally field was nicely cut , and also dry!

I arrived just in time to see the rest of the group depart for their evening meal down the pub, which left me to look after the site and enjoy the wonderful views. Since our last visit the Red Kite population has grown considerably, and they gave us some fine flying demonstrations.

On Saturday seven of us (plus two dogs) were taken on a walk guided by Sid. Thirty minutes into the walk it was decided that we should stop at the pub! The time was 11.00am. Note to self, must go on more walks with Sid!! The walk then continued along the Thames path before returning to another pub!

In the Evening we had our usual BBQ, and used our brand new canopy for the first time, this was a great success. You can click on the link below to see how we got on putting it up for the first time.

Sunday was another fine day after a chilly start, and we all enjoyed a cream tea supplied by Eve & Lynda followed shortly after by  another BBQ!

Below are some pictures taken in and around the site.IMG_2348 IMG_2288 IMG_2252 IMG_2229

Monday was time for me to return home, but not before I visited the local RSPB nature reserve at Otmoor. This is well worth a visit for its many species of birds.
