Well, we had a lovely day – weather a bit up & down, but not too bad.
Nice little convoy down the Motorway & side roads to Thorpe Park, although the police CCTV/No. Plate checking van at the entrance did give a small jolt, as I certainly wasn’t expecting it!
VIP parking area was fine as we all had an area to park together, probably as the weather wasn’t sunny, so plenty of space.
I think we all had vouchers/money off tokens so we all got in on the cheap and once inside we all went off our separate ways – we went of to the Farm first as it was the furthest location on the map:
Then we slowly walked back & forth going on all three wet rides – the last one (Tidal Wave) was a real drencher!!
Rain kept off for the time we were there, as we came out to the car about 4(ish) there was some rain, but not enough to worry the obviously hardy members of the ESC as most of the cars were still in the car park!!
We were back home an hour later, tired but happy from a cracking day out.

What a great day Tidel wave caught us out we were drenched from head to toe. It took most of the day to dry out.
We left about 4.30 & there was still plenty of scoobs left in the car park.
There was no need for the VIP tokens because the barry was not there.
Looie must of taken it out when he left

Nice to meet everyone today.
Really enjoyed the convoy down to Thorpe Park and thanks to the Spec C's for leading the way from the Lodge.
Can't say I saw anyone once we were in the park due to being sentanced to the demands of the Young Thrill seekers aged 3 and 1 years old. We all had a fantastic and exhausting day, cheers ESC for organising today I wouldn't have made the effort to do Thorpe Park if it wasn't for the promise of a convoy getting there. Missed the company on the way home.
Stu.
Here are a couple of snaps I took, hope you all had a great time too.
