The Caravan Show

The train took about 35 minutes with one change but it was very cheap. Two adults return was about 11 Dollars or about £ 5.00. I am not sure how far you will get in the UK for £ 2.50 one way and certainly not Weybridge to Woking.

This show was huge and took place at a race track where there were outdoor exhibits as well as outdoor but undercover areas. We spent about 7 hours wandering around looking at some very fancy caravans.

As most people know we have a caravan, but not like those in OZ, where they make them for the outback with 4 x 4 wheels and the base of the van at least 24 inches from the road so that they can be driven over extremely bad surfaces in the outback.

The show was extremely busy with loads of people everywhere. We saw lots of interesting products including one to allow you to load your heavy boat on to the roof of the Toyota Land Cruiser. Boy I must get one of those but they are not available in UK. So I spoke to the Boss and will set him up with a contact. Perhaps if I had more time I could have marketed this product, but NO, I am retired now.

We headed home and walked back up George Street which was now crowded with Chinese, it looked like Hong Kong on a Saturday afternoon.

It has been a long day and so we will take advantage of the free titbits in the Exec lounge instead of going for dinner.
