not sure, could be worth taking a battery in case
It is healthier to be mutton dressed as lamb, than mutton dressed as mutton!

Mark, you are ok for south, I am thinking, in your garden!

There are a couple of hookups either side of the entrance to the field.
These would be near the static vans, the entrance (obviously) and the cottage with the floodlight.

Fay, behave  ;)

I'd happily go back to Tuesnoad as long as the ground was dry. Someone would need to contact the owner though to make sure the field is free that weekend.

Unfortunately many of us have been spoilt by having access to a hookup, decent toilets, showers, not having access to sheep shit, not having to maintain the entrance to the field.

We have discussed Blacklands vs. Rother previously.
It is unlikely that Rother will be used every DSC due to the ground conditions when wet.
It is likely that Blacklands will be used when Rother is unsuitable.
So, there will be opportunities for North and South with hookups and no sheep and no DIY road repairs.

Hi,

If there's sheep in the field I'll be staying at home...

Quotenot sure, could be worth taking a battery in case
I no longer have a working leisure battery and much prefer the hook up situation so I can run a camping cooler so my food doesn't go off. 

It's OK, so long as we occasionally go to a place with a southern horizon, I don't want to be located away from the gang every time  :cheesy:

Am I right in saying there will now be two DSCs in July?
