My first video I did on my new Go-Pro, was planning to put it on YouTube but I think I'll just leave it here, quick-ish vid showing the old Speedway I use to staff from 1997 to 2003
The Broken rider, injured on a ride in 2009, I thought my days of fairs and theme parks were over af
I've been a massive Fun Fair nut since I was a nipper but an unfortunate accident on a ride broke my back in 2009 causing me to have to leave the world of showman for a long time, recently had the courage to go back on the rides and have fun again. The accident however has limited what I can go on but we'll ride what we can ride and explore all things fun in East Anglia and beyond, join me on my adventures!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fZU0J6cp4c We're back in business! My Mac has been fixed and I can now uploads my photos and videos again. More of Amersham will be uploaded tomorrow :)
The Wild Thing Miami at Amersham, photo by Martin Cooper Fair Pix. The Karen that had a go at me for taking the exact same photo at the same time as Martin didn't win as her special bunnies are riding the ride in the photo. God knows who they are but I did tell her about 4 other people just took photos of the ride the same time as me, I didn't point Martin out as I didn't want him to get any crap off the Karen. Check out Martin's page Fair Pix and his website for some fantastic fun fair footage 👍
Video from Fun Fair Carl of The Hulk at Amersham, my Mac is in the shop hopefully I can upload my footage tomorrow
Great day out, time to go home
Recharging my batteries at the local pub
Amersham has a really great ride line up here this year, just had a Karen tell me off for taking some shots of the Miami here as her kids were on it (they must be special.... im being sarkee), I seem to be a magnet for them this season
On the way to Amersham
https://irvinleisure.co.uk/upcoming-funfairs/amersham-charter-fair-2024/ Poster and info for Amersham tomorrow, I'll hopefully get the vlog up within the week as I now found help with the computer problem, stay tuned!
I visited the funfair – twice, actually! I have a disability, but found I could go on many rides due to helpful staff, and their kindness and eagerness to help. Thank you again for everything, I had a lovely time.
Hopla Hop Gallopers back in the day at Pleasurewood Hills, the horses galloped separately to the movement of the ride, they could be switched on or off to gallop. They all really squeeked when they moved.
A trip down memory lane! We're very proud of our history here at Pleasurewood Hills, so here's a collection of photos taken by our park carpenter Gary in 1989. There's plenty more to come in the coming weeks folks so stay tuned!
Off to Amersham Fair tomorrow, still trying to fix the computer so a vlog will be up at some point

New camera but still can't import anything from it o to my mac!
My channel will have to go on-hold as my Mac does not want to take videos or photos from ether my new or old Go-Pro, new SD card and still it won't import anything, don't know what to do. Until I can find an expert, I won't be uploading anything until the fault is fixed whatever it is :(
No Bank Holiday fair in Norwich this year sadly 😞
Wednesday 21st to Monday 26th there is supposed to be a bank holiday fair in Chapelfield Gardens Norwich. I'll pop down tomorrow to have a look, I can't vlog at the moment as my go pro has died but I'll take my phone. A new go pro has been ordered
Next one , opening day Saturday
My Go Pro Hero 5 has decided not to import the photos and videos I've got today, it just sits there for ages say "importing 0-49 items", I think it's died and it's time for a new camera, I've reset the camera and that made no difference. No idea how I'm going to get the footage on here!!! Mega Annoying!

Coming later to my YouTube channel, Strumpshaw Steam Museum featuring Presland's 5 hill "Easy Rider" Speedway/Ark and a newly restored set of Gallopers
Bonus footage of the opening of the Cambridge Midsummer Fair 21/06/2023, the local officials and John Thurston give speeches on John Scarrott's Dodgems. Some sound issues with their mic unfortunately in this clip
Not something you hear much on the Fun Fair nowadays, a Gardner 6LX generator! Note the old Atkinson radiator, this genni was powering the stalls at the Easter fair today
Less then 48 hours to go until the Norwich Easter Fair! Pull on and build up now underway on Chapelfield Gardens
I went to London and found this, sadly the winter wonderlands have all pulled down now so something a bit different until we find some fairs!
Take 1 of Gray's Dodgems at Autumn Lights (take 2 is on my youtube channel), the voltage was low as there were lots of kiddies on this cycle to keep the car speeds down, riding in car 5
