Billing Tomorrow - what time does it start?

[Barreti]

I've not been to Billing for few years but want to go this weekend. I'm off work tomorrow so could go, and there are lots of odds and sods I want to pick up, is it worth going on a Friday or should I wait and go Sat or Sun?

I got down to Billing around 11am on Friday. I couldn't believe I didn't see a single other Land Rover on the run down from Nottingham and drove straight to the gate to pay.
I've not been to this event for a few years, not since it split into the 3 shows (is it 3?) and it was good but not as good as it used to be.

I thought the layout was very confusing and I'm not the only one who spotted some stands at the last minute that I'd not found after 5 hours of walking around.

I was surprised not to be able to find simple things like genuine early defender indicator side repeaters. Where was DLS - they always used to be there and had things like lights on the shelf.
And chairs - I was on a mission to buy a decent quality ballistic nylon/aluminium framed fold up chair and failed miserably to find anyone selling even cheap ones.

Is this because of the split and multiple Land Rover shows now? Is Billing not the show it used to be and is there a better one?

Having said all that, I had a nice day wandering around Land Rovers and Landy bits on my own. A bit of quality time I really enjoyed after a few years out of the scene.
