Andrew P Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Could be - but I think if I had a Lotus Cortina I wouldn't waste it pulling a caravan I had a Lotus Cortina Look alike, same colour scheme but normal wheels and a Standard 1600 Engine, looked good at the Traffic Lights but was POOO against a Mini 1275 GT, hahha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted March 4, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 4, 2016 Up-Date,= The Pencarne District Council are at loggerheads with The Pencarne Horticultural Society over the use of the Land near the Stream for a potential Allotments. For many years its been Common Land and as such the Local Caravan Club have had exclusive use of it. It will be interesting to see what happens at the Council meeting next Month and see if there is a Change of use for the Land, in the meantime its well frequented by Grockels visiting the area. Caravan Park 1 001.JPG Caravan Park 1 002.JPG GRASS will be added soon. Hi Andy I never knew my distant cousins had such posh motors. Mind you the locals have them moved on as soon as they can. :yes: Before anyone gets on their high horse, my paternal grandmother said we have Roma ancestry and the way some people treat Roma and Travellers is very distasteful. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 37 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Lovely work on the River bed and the surrounding area Andy. Once again its added more to the rural feel of the layout. As for the caravans. Perhaps change the cars for Ford transits. That will have the residents of Pencarne up in arms that travellers have moved onto their lovely riverside meadow !! Have a good weekend in Mansfield Cheers Marcus 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobM Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) Keeping the fruit and cake analogy in mind (aren't caravans just sheds with wheels)....? ( By the way a tomato is a fruit as it contains seeds) Edited March 7, 2016 by BobM 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Andrew P Posted March 8, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2016 Hi all, well I decided to do the Field for the Caravan Camp Site today whilst the Cork on North Road was drying and the Weathered Locos, (see West Shed were drying). I 've tried a new product for me, its WS Static Grass but I cant get it to actually stand up so I will look at it again once the PVA has dried. There is still much to do around the Stream in the way of Fences, Bushes and Shrubs etc. but its coming on fairly well. 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted March 8, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 8, 2016 You know if you can't get that grass to behave you could always ask Al to lend you his mower! Looking good as always, I'm interested to see the caravan site develop. Knowing you it'll be first class and what a great idea to have a feature that can be changed around. The campers can come and go just like the trains! Shaun 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
67A Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 How are you going to replicate the tip-tap-tip-tap annoying noise of the rain on the caravan roofs or is Pencarne one of those so called idyllic West Country spots were the weather is always good...............don't dare say yes, I've holidayed in Cornwall spending most of the fortnight at INDOOR attractions = costly exercise ! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mike When I was a kid we had a holiday at Conway were we spent most the time in the caravan due to the rain. It was great, the North Wales Coast line went past the site and I spent all my time looking out the windie trainspotting.

RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted March 8, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 8, 2016 Sorry to hear about your problems with WS static grass. Are you using one of their applicators? I was going to get one but I know there're a bit pricey. They look good in their videos though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It normally works fine with Noch and Woodlands Scenic Static Grass. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Finished Breakfast, so I'm off out into the Old Potting Shed to finish the Weathering job, hoover up the un-stuck Flock from the Field and see what needs doing on there next, I'll be back in for Elevenses at Eleven. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 The Flock has just left a Field of almost Green Velvet look to it, It will probably need re doing with some Noch Grass in places but I will be putting some NEW BATTERIES in the Grass applicator later and see if it lifts it a bit. To be fair the fibres are only about 1mm max anyway so I cant expect much. Off to North Road now to do a Morning report on proceedings over there. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
