Made a brief stop just after Antwerpen in a village for petrol.as I was getting pretty low on fuel and didn’t know how far to the next highway services. 30 miles earlier there was a rather nice highway services but I saw it too late to pull off. Tried to find lunch in the village as well but the only place which looked to be open didn’t sell food, only beer. Oh well, lliquid lunch.From there it was another 200km or so to the Ponykamp, the last bit of which I did on country roads as I was sick of highways by then. After another fuel stop in Balkbrugg I quickly found the Ponykamp and the WSFH welcomed me to the party.
While setting up camp Robert (rally organiser) brought me a big rissole in a bun – fantastic chap! First food since the Chunnel. Next tent over were a couple of germans, Micha(!) and Bernd, who I had a good chat to, and ended up spending most of the evening in their company with their mates.
Dinner was in the big hall, afterwards party in the smaller barn with a live band of high-school students. Pretty good going for a couple of kids, blasting out a believable repertoire of the classic rock songs. Rounded out the night with another hour or so at the fire. Had a fanstastic day and met a great bunch of people.
