I like the 5 maximum small sites and often as not there will be just us on the site. We never book for more than one night on an unknown site, if we can possibly avoid it. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk

Not a problem, once in an area we can usually tour round to find an alternative site. We tend to book the first night to guarantee somewhere to stop for the first night. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk

Don't know where we'll be, or what'll look good when we're there. |
