Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Our oil-filled radiator and 4 layers is doing the job nicely.

We had that happen one winter at Braemar, XB. Water had to be hosepiped from a tap inside the utilities building. I don’t know what the solution would have been if there was no toilet/shower block…

My van is purely being used for CX right now.

Even the boy doesn't want to camp right now :-)

Nicely warm overnight with the tuma system ticking over on hook-up :) glad the electricity isn’t on a meter
Keeping fingers crossed the fresh and waste water tank heaters are working properly…

We’ve just pitched at Patterdale. We were going to have an off grid night but decided, as it’s so cold, we’d take advantage of a CL site electricity supply. We were booked on here from tomorrow so rocked up a day early and are the only people here.
Everywhere looks pretty with the frost.

Guess who forgot to empty the water tank in their van before the big freeze!

Any tips? Should we wait until it warms up now. We won’t be using it for a few weeks.

Same here, Scribbler. I went to it at the weekend hoping to be able to empty it, but it was frozen solid. I’m hoping that because the taps were open nothing will have cracked… fingers crossed!
