"...the air is heavy with the smell of burning food, wood, tents, chairs, gazebos, in fact anything that would produce heat!"
Ahh, Sunday evening and the ritual burn-everything-so-it's-not-left-for-the-pikies.
Things got really interesting when we discovered one of the rechargeable air bed inflater nozzles would fit into a dead BBQ leg... Managed to get the
end of said leg white hot, the BBQ handle orange/red and the cast iron base cherry red.
Never did listen when my parents told me not to play with fire
Have to say Houx wasn't too bad on the mud front but then is the most permanent of the Le Mans camp sites.
Don't know how things were for you guys but considering camping off-site next year to escape the ever increasing chav element.
