California Club Meet Slimbridge, Gloucestershire 17th to 19th May 2019

[Hotel California]

Think when we came two years ago , they were parked up all the way till the end in the field.

A few had gone when we flew the drones Wim but I think there was a restriction on numbers on the field by the campsite.
There were eight others on the main site as well.

I counted 35 on that pic. Some may have gone out for the day, and I know that one van had left.

There were 40 on the field, but the drone went up late morning on the Sunday and some had left some were out exploring.

There were more on the main part of the site, but I couldn't tell how many. I made it 11 at one point.

Thanks for a great weekend Simon and team. Our first visit and it won't be our last. Great location. Lovely to meet up with friends old and new. Few photos attached of our visit to the Wetland Centre (Caveat: Photos of the newly fledged Kingfishers taken through dirty window in the hide which we weren't allowed to open). Grateful for guidance from fellow the clubs twitchers - you know who you are! More photos on the clubs Facebook page.

Thanks Simon and team for organising the weekend, it was a perfect location for the meet, enjoyed catching up with everyone. Also interesting to see what £2m plus of californias look like all in one place.

Yes, there was a lot in the main site, one chap admitted he was already booked for a weekend and found out about the meet after.

I had a great time, could have used another 7 days there haha

Anyone watching “His Dark Materials” on BBC1 recognise some of the locations from this meet?
