Teamwork!

A few days of dry weather and sunshine had us all believing that things were going to change but it was a bit short lived. One big advantage of the dull weather has been that the campers find themselves with time on their hands - which they have been putting to amazingly good use!

Patrick arrived on Friday to complete the spreading of the gravel for the hard-standing pitches and Sophie has been fighting for a turn with the compacting machine.

Unfortunately the landscape gardener arrived optimistically on Tuesday morning ready to sow the grass but the ground was once again sodden and unworkable.

Still, the electricians also arrived on Friday and connected the posts for the central pitches and John Dirix and Owen White spent a great deal of time getting the water pipes adjusted to allow the water to flow properly through the taps.

As this was all being completed George and Pat Rickman arrived and volunteered to be the first to try out the new pitches. Adrian Snell rushed round with the compacted to prepare the chosen pitch and they were soon happily installed.

Having brought all his their water and drain connection pipes with them, Owen and Pauline white quickly followed and are helping to see what adjustments we need to make to the pitches.

Meanwhile, the first of the chalets have arrived for the bottom field and a team of three have managed to get two of them mostly built in three days. The next two will follow on Monday so it is beginning to take shape down there at last.
