Hiya Harvey, On the way in, near side rear just touched as I turned in from the right coming from the town direction. If I remember correctly the road has a bit of a camber too. On the way out I lifted the suspension. When I went once before I carried on past the entrance and reversed into the road on the left and approached from the other direction, taking a wide arc onto the other side of the road to get a better line.

I remember going in there with our 9mtr tag got in without much of a problem as you say from an angle full flaps down and all that🤣 but some of the Carthagos may have a scrape or two.

Steve, You’ll defo ground out this time with all the beer in garage that your bringing for us🤪 Most will be ok if they go steady, perhaps your Hymer had a shorter over hang.

Jaws Is there anywhere nearby selling LPG?
Where are you travelling from? (Other locals might be able to point you to a filling station). eg Morrisons Wisbech and Kings Lynn had stock.
Also North Tuddenham Garage - A47.

Harvester garage, A134 Bury Rd here in Thetford if you have refillable and they keep a few bottles, and the garden centre ( Kilverstone Rd, Thetford IP24 2RL ) who normally keep a big stock of bottles .... Dunno about in Swaffham

LPG available at BP Garage on A15/A17, garage shop called “Shop & Drive”, just as a marker they have Burger King KFC, Subway on site, so you know it’s right garage (handy if you’re hungry). We filled up there last Saturday night.

As previously mentioned TES north tuddenham have an lpg pump, also Morrisons east Dereham, but I haven’t used either for a couple of months, so cannot verify stock.

and also, I always grind the Towbar going into this venue, I think I’ve left marks in the road. So just be carefull.

Nearly that time again, but different venue. These came up on my memories today. You miss ukbandit this year, and some others that are in the new forest instead.
