Dubfreeze 2020

2020 saw the thirty-first running of the Dubfreeze event. An event that has become known as one where dubbers can locate those hard to find parts that they need to finish their projects before spring. It’s also a great opportunity to get your van out of hibernation and to catch up with friends, to see what everyone has been up to over the winter.

The entire country had been ravaged by Storm Dennis on the night before. All the local rivers were breaking their banks and causing flooding, that in some cases even covered entire roadways.
