Was camping in Edale recently.No signal on t-mobile,just wondered if its the same on other networks?Planning to go again,could do with mobile(sick relative).If other networks are ok could get new sim.

Can't help you with Edale, (where is that btw?), but we had same probs in Cornwall and that was same for almost every network on the site!

Quite comical seeing that 'search dance' every evening!!! All these nutters, (me included!), wandering around the site mobiles  held high, only to manage a weak signal which of course you lost as soon as you lowered the phone to your ear!!!! Moral to this: hold at ear height or use speaker phone -lol

I also need to be contactable at all times, (ageing Dad who's had four strokes, now with epilepsy and all too prone to serious falls! Nightmare), so we just make sure that other family members, (or rellies neighbours if no family about), have the site phone number so they could always get hold of us.  Then even if you're out and about should a call come, (we prayed none would!), they'll leave a note on your van/tent telling you to contact reception where they'd pass any message on.

Have a gr8 holiday,  (you jammy beggar), and just go on that 'no news is good news' thing - works for us!

Only 49 weeks to hols and counting.....every bl**dy one!!!!

derbyshire, the Peak District.

Thank you!!!!!! But I'm a wee bit confuzzed now since seing sarahk's post talking about Jacob's Ladder coz there's one of them in Somerset too.....Oooh, my head hurts...... Unless Jacob did an awful lot of building work that needed loads of ladders all over the place? Well, he wouldn't have the luxury of lorries for transporting them and things would he.....

That's it - I've officially lost the plot now!

I must get off this!!! Should be going shopping to buy treats for son and his girlfriend coming for weekend. Have to spoil him, and his father will wonder why he's suddenly getting decent food again too as he hasn't since I found ukcs -lol

My name's hippy chick and I am a ukcs addict.....

Hippy Chick - jsut to confuse you some more  there is a Jacobs Ladder in Falmouth as well - there's even a boozer of the same name at the top of the steps!

Sarahk didn`t do much walking had 2 dogs with us.Had to keep them on leads,and they pull and tug like mad! They walk us i think! Also Hubby had cracked his rib gardening When we go again hope to walk further.

Vodaphone def doesn't work- tried from outside campsite and both pubs in the village and no reception at all!  Got reception half way up onto the Kinder Plateuax (sp?) but was in a hail storm by then...

Perhaps you could call in at agreed times?  Payphone in village and the nearer pub..
