I hear rumours that there is another slalom being held in Sunny Peterborough, this time on the 20/ 21 June and that entries are already being recieved...

You have to be in it to win it...

Oh, in that case I'll try to be there!

Is the road to the campsite restricted as before?

As far as we know, Peterborough Council will not be digging up the road this weekend. BUT the landowner is concerned oversquatters, so we have to keep the gate at the top of the road locked. Please use the winter slalom car park, and come and ask for the key.

not the best way into the campsite, but thems the rules this year.

My son loves this slalom as everyone is so friendly and there are always lots of prizes for the Juniors.

Hope it goes well.

Have to agree... Didn't manage to win a cake myself though, but did manage to blag one off CP afterwards!!

The Winter slaloms are 8th Nov & 13th Dec.
