Tavistock Goose Fair 2022: Is Back on at Night

 Well, its the evening of Goose fair, things are gaining on the time and it was then time to finally show how things are at night, it is a chance to get things purchased and also the time of delays that were going to happen., Enjoy the vlog below: 






The Drop off. 

So video editing was taking HOURS and then it was even a bit longer with having a friend pop in and just play terraria and recover from a shit day at #crappycityplym which I'm also told about the issues facing teachers on strike there. But either way he was wanting me to walk him semi home, so I did and we passed the back of the fair with the path and then we actually start the vlog since it was to give me about 2 hours to explore . 

the chatting while this was going about various parts and wanting me to take the time off and also more of the mentoring of him for working with me and other things about how me and him were alike in other ways. But then by the time it was nearing 8:30 pm, it was time to explore the fair. 

The time to explore: 

So we start the vlog at the top of the road, which was showing less and less people about but still crowds but not too packed to struggle to get by the people/ The rain was happening and we first took ourselves to pass the food and drinks zone and there was a few starting to pack up but there was Mexican food stall i didn't even see in the day but there was a few at night passing by.

As i kept walking, it was passing the tech stall which ended up having Xbox Elite controllers there for £65 which actually was tempted but you had to be good luck from how broken those controllers have been from working online. But then it was to carry on further down to see what was going to be shown. Since it was soon to end up nearer the  fairground to see what was it looking like in the night sky.,

It was then carrying on to explore the fair and seeing what shows in the air. I'm not really sure what to notice since it was nothing of note minus looking around the sights while in the rain. But it was amazing how the nights look.

The look back on the road 


As we passed, it was time to head down to the fair and see what was going for. The sounds were loud, the queues for the food were getting somewhat longer and the smell of the doughnuts were in the air and it was nice to see how it looked and the feeling of the nights creeping in with how pitch black it was going to be.

But then we walk via the small path then it leads back to the road and we explore to go back to the square. Which we see tiny puppies and it was also time to check out more of the Christmas tat but it lead me to see a VIB 480 which is a mini console of pirated nes titles BUT has a USB Type C controller, which nope does NOT connect to a PC or Android phone. But I bargained it down to a £10 and then also saw the case spin up.

But then it was time to finally head to get things sorted. 

Purchases and choices 

So, time was going faster and the rain was getting the little bit more of a drizzle, but it ended up me getting to finally decide the plans on what to do, So first we went to get one of those mystery bags for a change, which had a fluffy feel to it for the £3. Then more exploring and i decided to try one of them jumpers on to see how it feels, and it got tempting but I didn't have the £25 on me since online payment was waiting which means not enough for that to get. So I had to pass while checking for the paypal payment which turns out that was actually later on.

But then I ended up deciding to get back to the shop to drop things off but as things were being packed up quicker than i thought, I decided to make my way to the Bus stop to get the bus back to gulworthy. So it was that rush from 9:15 to get things packed in the rucksack and then get the bus home semi. 

I got things rushed in and then locked the doors and alarm for the shop on, then RUSHED to get the first thing on my list back which was the commander, and the 2 for £18 is a good vibe and in a bag it went and I ran my way to further up the road. 

The Commander headsets in the bag for £9 each 



So I kept on running, some guy shouted "Keep that up and you'll get a heart attack, I shouted back "I've done this many times", but then it was to the blue tent stall which was to finally get a nice fluffy warm jumper for winter and you know what, after trying it on, and felt good, Got it for £15 and then it was like 5 nearly 10 minutes to try to PAY with chip and PIN since i only had that on the revolut card i've not activated for months. 




Passing the junction 


But it was going to be the tough part of then just hoping it would go straight but things never do. I finally got to the bus stop and it was then the news.

The Accident to run back semi home


So It was then to wait for the bus and you know, things don't turn out, so one of the council chaps turns out, wait a Police car zooms past up the hill, some people ay that sounds like bad news and you know, it really was going to be.  So turns out there was a RTA on the road to gulworthy, So that means no ETA on when the bus is coming back. Well you know what that means. RUN. 

So we started the run, using the lamp from the Vlogging kit to get me most of the footpath by the canal, which was a pitch black long way off, but it takes time to run with 2 bags in this path. By 20 minutes later I got to the viaduct where I've walked Rosie in the past.

Then it was running that bit more in the rain and muddy path, which lead to the main road  and we then see the accident, it was actually on the corner. So then it was time to take the back road to go back to Gulworthy, which passes to behind the harvest home.

The cars piling up 

But then it was a call just as I got myself near the junction of where the backroad joins to the road to bere Alston and crosses gulworthy, and she was a bit not happy but I said I'll be in gulworhty and well i got there about 15 minutes later, passing the car park which was where the bus was going and I did have a 4x4 ask me if I wanted a lift. I said no and then made my way to the roundabout.
This had taken about an hour or so due to the bags and laptop slowing me down in the rain.

The Night: 

So it comes to the end of the evening, the vlog ended about here and eventually parents pick me up and say they didnt go in the evening due to the rain happening too. But it was then about 10:40pm and we finally got home, unloaded the jumper to the bed, it was time to sort things out and I was go have some leftover chicken potato pasta and some of the leftover donuts the friend earlier got me, which have that funky taste but I want to really buy a 20kg bag of donut mix  for a girl at one point. But it always means the getting that far aspect.

So then I tried to stay awake to edit but I needed to sleep after this since I was exhausted. But that ended the day for me and there we go. 

The end of the day.

Take care and the Story of how it goes for the Weekend is approaching soon.
