Show report: Busfreeze


They say the weather can often make or break a show. Visitors to these 'beginning' and 'end-of-year' trade shows are often prepared to venture out in some pretty inclement conditions.
Unfortunately for the organisers of Busfreeze they were met with a Saturday night of torrential rain and high winds. Combine this with end-of-term motorway traffic and a £10 per person entry fee, as you can imagine, the car park and the show on a whole were relatively quiet.

It did give us a good opportunity look around and chat with a few people about our T5's interior; plans, timescales, fit and finish. In particular we are being drawn to the interior options provided by Campershak. They build a good-looking set of interior furniture and offer a bespoke service, tailoring the end results to each individual's requirements.

When they rain held off we took the opportunity to have a wander round to the camping area to see what the facilities were like with a view to camping next year - on the whole they seemed adequate; water points, a toilet block, and a relatively flat field away from the noise of the main road seemed okay to us.

Maybe one to try again next year - never write off a new show in it's first year.

  1. I went to busfreeze and it was quiet,we found out later in the day there had been an accident on the motorway involving a couple of v.w. buses which aquaplaned of the motorway in the heavy rain.we had been told that one guy had been killed but can't confirm any of this.very sad if it is true.probably one reason why it was quiet if they had shut the motorway.anyway it was the first show so try again next time.dubfreeze next

  2. I heard the same on Sunday night but, as you said, nothing was confirmed. Sad news if it's the case...

    Thanks for visiting the blog.

    I'm liking this blog! Very useful info and feedback here on the Multirail and The Khyam Sleeper. If it's OK with you I'd like to return the favour and put a link to this blog from my site?

  4. Hi Mark,

    Absolutely no problem, go for it! Let me know if it's just a text link or if you require a graphic.

  5. Hi Richard,
    I'll just take the graphic from your header if that's OK and put that in my links section. I will probably also put a link to it from the Multirail section as well.
    Cheers
