Glad to be back.

We stayed for four nights from the 12th April as soon as the site opened. Wardens coped wonderfully with a daily influx of 140 outfits. Interesting stay as the site power kept tripping out. not a problem for us as our 58 year old van was built on just gas and 12 volt and 240 volt is a luxury, but much more challenging for the wardens, one of whom, Andy, ended up staying up all night with the Site Electrical Services engineers. Medal as big as a dustbin lid for Andy please. In conversation with Andy it appears that the site is in seperate zones for power with each zone having about 150 amps available except the top of the site where the bigger zone has 300. The fact that about 490 amps were being drawn resulted in the outages. THIS WAS MAINLY DUE TO OUTFITS INSISTING ON HEATING AWNINGS FOR PETS AND WHEN NOT IN USE. THEY CONTINUED WITH THIS DESPITE A NOTICE GOING UP REQUESTING CURTAILMENT OF THIS PRACTICE. When we have toured around Europe we have frequently come across metered connections on pitches. It seems a bit unfair that we usually draw about 6 amps but pay the same flat rate as flats on wheels with electric everything going around overloading site supplies. Possibly time to consider metered connections when new sites are developed? Whilst I am griping about members behaviour I might as well mention how difficult some members find the current rubber band system in use in these unusual times. It is really taxing remembering to return the band all the way to the Milton bath outside the door!!!!! The site was wonderful as always with the Warden team cheerful and helpful I dont know where you find such lovely people Rant over. Now for Scotland on the 29th.
