Good God the Hoppings! I was never brave enough to venture there. Lots of carnies on my local bus though. Have you been? Is/was it fun?

I'm from newcastle, i was thinking of going up but decided not to as i have my LO who is only 2 weeks, Could ask my OH to look after him but then who would i go with lol

lorrilou

im not going! why is it that whenever the hoppings are here you can guarantee that it will piss down for a good few days?!!

nah, I've never been either TBH - I couldn't go now anyway coz I'd get stuck in the mud, but before I was a crip I'd never been either

It pissed it down yesterday...the day I decided to go haha, typical.
Was good fun though, and although it was raining i suppose you can only get wet skin deep haha. My theory was although it was raining it would be sensible to go because later in the week the ground is going to be like a giant mud bath, yesterday it was wet but not muddy thank god.

I agree its a total rip off though, one woman wanted £3.50 for some candy floss and £5.00 for a candy dummy..and not even one of the big ones and the baby catipillar ride was £2.00 per person, so £4.00 to take Alex on for him to cry the whole way round

But all in all it was really good, thouroughly enjoyed myself, was lucky enough to be able to have afew of my friends come along who were off work so I could have a go on the bigger upside down rides with my niece and they could hold alex's buggy for me...im just a big kid really haha

So yeah, if you're going to go, go early, the grounds not bad yet lol
