OIARTZUN

Fri 8th Dec A M.

One helluva day ! The previous evening we had made friends with 3 Portugaise drivers
who had followed us in to the lorry park with their car transporters and parked next to
us.They left very early in the morning,which left us open to the elements,unknown to us.
At 5.00am what sounded like a train hit us head on to our right side.We managed to bring
in the slide-out,lower the jacks.and sat/dish and drop the tv mast.An atlantic storm from
the Bay of Biscay with winds of 100mph had arrived without warning!! As we were un-
protected to our right,we took the full force for the next 3 hrs.The awning was ripped
from the side of the Winnebago and the four support bars bent and broken landed on
the roof and smashed into the tv mast forming a shape of a sail.This caused us to lift
off the ground on more than two occasions and nearly turn over!! We wrapped our selfs
in bedding and waited for the outcome.
