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 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.
