We Don't have an Aldi, Sainsburys, Asda or Lidle. We do have a Manx Highway Code and it's slightly different to the UK Highway Code. I'll show you a copy when you're over next Steve, it may go some way to explain some of the driving here.

Manx highway code - when confronted by a roundabout, STOP. (and never move again.) :lol:

How are the dirty and fresh water tanks of motorhomes emptied and filled in the paddock? It doesn't matter over a weekend but over two weeks they are going to need to be done a few times.

Yes, that's OK on the smaller ones and caravans. But the big ones have them built in and you can't move the vehicle.

If your vehicle is bigger or different from what it said on your original entry form, or you have more vehicles, tents etc PLEASE let Lloyd Mister at G4S know as soon as possible. It's because people turn up with things they didn't mention on the booking form, that the paddock becomes a nightmare. If you turn up and half your space has been taken by someone else... that's THEIR fault, not his, so don't give him grief, please... he has an impossible job, and there's no excuse for making it worse.. lecture over!!

If a mate wants to camp in your space, bear in mind it is not actually allowed. If you have space and they behave, people have more urgent things to worry about, but, if you are encroaching on someone else's space and / or your guest(s) are impacting on other competitors, YOU will be held responsible... so be careful who you allow / invite to join you.

I've email Lloyd as nobody seems to know how you empty the waste water. I assumed there would be a mobile truck that plugged in to the outlet.

A kind sponsor has lent us his Winnebago Bruce. Overwise I'd be in my beat up caravan. What does John McGuiness do? He'll have the same problem. And the large corporate artics.
