Perhaps @Mrs6C could bring some track with her to lend them for the weekend so the train can go all the way up.

I've got this in my head now, albeit with less penguins

I've got to duck out of this weekend;  after 2 years Mrs K and I finally copped a dose of Covid, not that unexpected having spend a week in a coach with 40 others.  Fortunately we got the current low strength version but we are left feeling weary even after a good night's sleep;  not a good basis for a 300 mile drive each way in high temperatures.

Being old I had qualified for the fourth booster, and as with the first three suffered no ill effects.  Mrs K not being quite as geriatric doesn't qualify for the fourth booster but having been classed as vulnerable got isssued with a special set of tests, got ill, tested positive and has been issued with anti viral tablets - couriered out from the big Exeter hospital as neither of us were fit to drive to collect them. 

Hope everyone has a good weekend and NO FTPs

Are you going to be fit enough? Will you need a lift? Don't actually know where you live, it just seems to be a different hotel every week... 

[hairnet]

That's not a hotel............

No I gathered that. It's good they've finally admitted you to the proper authorities, but will you be fit enough for a weekend pass out this weekend, or are you fully out as well? Or only out because of transport issues now your drip trolley probably won't fit on the bike/your mum's car

[maxxo]

i dare say it's ready, new belts  and water pump fitted today

got the blower working

unless it goes wrong tomorrow i'm coming in this

A vac-test will confirm if you have a hole in the system anywhere.  Whilst I can't nitrogen pressure-test a system, if the car holds vacuum for several hours, then it's a fairly good indicator that it's good-to-go.  No charge for that!

I have nitrogen test kit . If there is enough demand I could bring that too .

[twosmoke300]

What is the estimated total attendance ? Just seeing how many cornish goodies to bring up

 

[Sunny Jim]

I reckon about 30 arriving on the Friday with another 10 or so day visitors over the weekend. Will update the list when I get a chance.

[beko1987]

Is there going to be a free shite table or similar? I've got some hdi fuel filters that don't fit my car, if it cools down enough for me to be arsed to find them some 406 and laguna bits that I don't want 

[twosmoke300]

Good idea . Ive got loads of haynes manuals and some parts I could bring.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is the triumph of hope over experience.

Whilst I remember... @Sunny Jim I know you mentioned earlier in the thread that there are no electrical hookups for the camping.  However, are you aware of any power available on site at all?  Even if it's a little walk away?

[twosmoke300]

Dont be using leccy at Pizza time !!!

12v socket in your car, I dare say

[twosmoke300]

That ain’t gonna drive an AC vac pump

I will have ~400W 240V inverter power in my trailer.

[maxxo]

I shall be bringing my expensive noco booster pack in case of flat batteries

it also has USB charging capabilities 

[twosmoke300]

If it’s like my Noco charger then I hope no more than 3 people need a jump start. 

[MrDuke]

Y0 @Sunny Jim do you know if the derelict garage near Llanrug still has the Horizon and Capri rotting away outside? Potential photography pilgrimage?

Tru, but it does only draw about 250w, so a 300w continuous load inverter and a decent 12V battery (or indeed connected to the car in question) should be OK.
