Show that is. It starts today (24th) but the build up has been going on for days now. It is the biggest (reputedly) in he UK and possible Europe. Strange thing is the number of caravans being towed by white vans, or pickups. Reason? No hotels available! Dyfed/Powys police have been tweeting about bringing a caravan and making sure it is road worthy. We’ve certainly seen a number that aren’t!
No number plates, 1970’s vintage. curtains hanging awry. Apparently some people just beg, borrow, steal or possibly buy junk ones and leave them on site. On site – means organised ‘van parks surrounding Builth Wells.
On that point it has just taken me 15 minutes to get out of the track on to the road, then navigate the traffic to get back. A steady stream going South to the show. The traffic gets taken off to go to park and ride – more fields put over to parking. The whole community gets involved – B&Bs springing up, bar staff overnighting and then working all day in their day jobs. Amazingly one bar in Builth takes £20,000 per night.
