Sometimes having a really acute sense of smell is a wonderful thing but when faced with having to empty the waste tank of the caravan toilet into a cesspit, it most definitely isn't. Somehow, the addition smell of the chemical toilet fluid only made it worse (if it could have been). I've vowed to seek out caravan sites with flush waste disposals if they exist.
On the plus side the CL (certified location) I stayed on was incredibly spacious and peaceful. It was completely full (the 5 van rule) but my nearest neighbour was about 50 metres away. I managed to overshoot the entrance to the site the first time which resulted in me having to make a very large square with 4 right turns to get back. This added about 5 miles to my trip. Doing a quick u-ie isn't the easiest manoeuvre with a caravan.
The behaviour of the water pump remains a technical mystery to me but I will be the master of it in time. If it doesn't behave for my next adventure it will be replaced by a new shiny model - it has been warned.
My nose has sensed that autumn is on its way and this is my favourite season for many reasons. One is the promise of foraging for blackberries to bake into all sorts of luscious delights. Recipes, photos and tasting notes to come .....
In regard to the water pump, what you need is a friend with a lot of technical knowledge of pumps and motors and stuff....
ReplyDeleteOh and who you could barter with for oh I don't know, Yoga lessons or something?
:)
I'm sure I can stretch (haha) to yoga tuition in return for technical assistance.
