Fay it is only a further 6 miles to Blacklands.

Though I personally prefer Rother too as they sky is better, plus there are lights on the toilet blocks at Blacklands.

I'm happy to use Blacklands if the weather is bad and it is a last resort.

Fay,

From where you live, it is less than 3 miles (2.9m) difference in the distance, and most of that is M23 which is a pretty good road to travel.
And a nicer toilet block, that the hot water doesn't run out when you are fully lathered. :o

the water nearly run out on me at Rother, the other month, as I had put the money in the slot & was waiting for the water, when I realised I was in the wrong shower & the water was on in another one........panic stations to get into the correct one & do all before my 20p ran out!!!!!!!!

message from Jackie. No burning going on. Wood chipper being used down by the storage area where you go in & the top of the field is ok for Mick to go on.

Thanks for that Fay, perhaps Jackie was just being a bit cautious

Please can someone take a battery tester with them. When I was in a panic over my duff flats panel, I got all my AA batteries muddled & don't know which are the new ones & which are the old.

Thanks a lot

That's easy, the ones that don't work will be the flat batteries   ;)

AA batts? My flat panel runs on 12v. Easy.

Fay

oh will have to check that out Duncan. Although I have a new one coming, but will still use the old adapter for my little 4x4 panel

Thanks Mike

Looks like the forecast for both Friday and Sunday nights is clear.

Just trying to picture this, were you stripped off waiting for the water to come out and then had to run into the next cubicle in the nude?   :cheesy:

Fay

Got it in one, Carol!!!
