Yes I think so, hardly any went up on Wednesday, few more later in the week. I was thinking there were fewer Road Loco's there this year but when you go back and count up there were actually more than in previous years, only really one from the Dreelan stable missing.

As I was impressed with the GDSF I wanted to give a review on Tripadvisor but it isn't listed and it won't let me create one.
I guess it's because its a temporary venue?

I'm catching up on posts, hence replying to one thats a few weeks old!!. Whilst I agree the stall holders leave a mess, Monday morning is great pickings. The wife picked up about 60 / 70 books for her and her colleagues..



Me and my lad claimed a decent set of wellies, 3/8 drv sockets, taps, dies, files, Vbelts, a nice selection of victorian bottles and clayware, and some decent CDs!! Strangly enough, when we got back to blue 2, we were alone..



However, finally, I managed to win a tin whistle on the 'ring the bell' hammery thing. Only took 3 years and about £20..
