We've just returned from a week in Tattershall Lakes with our new second hander.
I know these larger parks aren't a favourite of many on here, but it suited us down to the ground.
After initial problems with the electrics and Whale Pump leaking, the only problem was the pump starting running on it's own, with nobody near it. Me being a bit of a Victor Meldrew, I stripped it down and the sink tap was found to be broken so it wasn't holding the micro switch down. No spares to be had, I bodged it with a bulldog clamp with a tab bent over and hey presto.
So much to see, so much to do in the area, and life being lived at a leisurely pace, suiting us both to the ground.
O.H. won't go again until next week, so I've got time to look for parts for the tap.

Anybody got a spare, going cheap?

We're both looking forward to a few years caravanning now, after a really relaxing week.

Aye! The only downside was neighbours going out for the day and leaving their dogs uncared for!

(Another V.M impression)
