Not sure if anyone has any plans on Saturday but I will probably pop out from the camping area to do a spot of scrapyard diving! There are two yards in particular that I will be going to: Rossiters which is in Pylle and slightly further North than the museum: maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=ba4+6lx&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Shepton+Mallet+BA4+6LX,+United+Kingdom&gl=uk&ei=OVQ8TK-nD5j-0gS_1aXRDg&ved=0CBYQ8gEwAA&t=h&ll=51.149952,-2.545749&spn=0.002419,0.004823&z=18 Incidently, it was the yard that blocked all access to Glastonbury festival a couple of years ago by exploding an LPG bottle in the wrong place! It also has an awesome farm shop opposite that will be where I am getting my bbq stuff from as it just simply cannot be beaten! The other yard is about 15 mins away and is here: maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=ba4+6lx&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Shepton+Mallet+BA4+6LX,+United+Kingdom&gl=uk&ei=OVQ8TK-nD5j-0gS_1aXRDg&ved=0CBYQ8gEwAA&t=h&ll=51.072259,-2.622771&spn=0.002424,0.004823&z=18 Both are good and prices are reasonable - stock is normally varied and it should be good for a laugh! Any other thoughts? Rysz.

Hmmm think my misses would be looking for the excuse to give me on that one! How about this for an excuse, I'll buy you a beer if you drive round in a bear costume! ;D

I think it sounds like Scrapyard in costums then to the farmshop. . . or what I call a normal weekend.

I am hoping to be there in the Dutton so a scrapyard foray would be good to replace the bits that fell off on the way down

I'd love to think of something constructive to do with the Saturday, but the desire to meet up with old friends and get mind-numbingly drunk is just too strong. ;D

At Castle Cary train station there is a yard/house with a LOAD of abandoned ones in.. I think it is a garage business... might be worth an investigate.. or at least a photograph or two.
