Heya folks

I'm hoping to make it for the first time in 3 years or so... Friday to Tuesday/Wednesday.

Tony - I tried to PM you but your box is full (heh - some things never change...)

All the best, and hope to see folks there!

Shame; I was just about to buy a ticket for the core days when I spotted the 'no dogs' rule. I'm sure you have the rule for a good reason but Tom would never forgive me, not sure my missus would either if she found herself having to take ten-mile walks every day.

Sorry about that but we have to abide by site rules. "No animals of any kind are allowed on site." (Not sure how they keep out birds and squirrels though!:p)

If it's a general camping site, they might have had bad experiences involving hooligans and staffies/pit crosses in the past. Can't say I blame them if that's the case.

Question.
Is there a mains socket on site to charge a phone or batteries for an hour or so every few days. Or do I have to stack up?

Even better :)
I'll take extra batteries for my torch and a portable powerbank for my mobile (it will be my camera in plane mode).

My mantra for the rest of the week: "don't break a leg, don't break a leg, don't break a leg, don't break a leg..." :D

One of the things I do when outdoors is to keep my phone off. Or in "airplane" mode if I wan't to use it as a camera. This weekend in cumbria I have used 40% of my battery over 3 days using it that way so I'll be fine with my portable battery :)

Depending on what phone you have especially smartphones if you go into settings to networks and change to gsm only so the phone isn't looking for data connections etc you may get signal where you normally couldn't.

Best signal achieved (including 3G) on top of the dunes out on the sands
Best signal on site, signal tree up by the naughty corner (need long legs though)
Just about had a signal on site here and there, sometimes in my hammock - close by the aforementioned shower block.
Can just about get a signal by the aforementioned gate.

Was on o2 with all this. Vodaphone likely to be better as they've had a deal with all the emergency services to mount aerials on all their sites.
