Decided to post the daily updates on separate pages. Not sure if the info is getting out there by adding it to the original thread, so here's the link if you've missed it and want to know more

Poured with rain most of the night, but I actually don't mind that. There's a certain satisfaction to being warm and cosy in the m/h while it bounces off the roof. Still woke to glorious sunshine and the heavy thunder scheduled for the day hasn't materialised so double win in our books
Still at 233 and enjoying the hospitality and facilities. After a lazy start to our day, I move closure to the building and now on EHU (free) for the first time since we set off, so time to re-charge everything we can and also to get the coffee maker out, Di does love a Dolce-Gusto coffee in the day
I also took the chance to empty the black, as I spied another m/homer (also a BritStop member, but not a Funster, so I educated him on the errors of his ways) walking across the carpark with his cassette, so took the opportunity to do ours too. I thought it strange that he had 2 screwdrivers with him? I then watched him leaver off the drain cover that exposed the waste pipes and down went all the black waste. Not exactly ideal and I'm not sure if this is meant to be the way they say you can dispose of it, but I'll enquired later if I remember. The grey is also just a storm cover and quite convenient for easy disposal
We've just come out of the spa facilities after having a 2 hour swim, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. The place is open 0800-2000hrs and unlimited use, so well worth the £5 fee we paid at the bar on arrival. Also had a large disabled changing room, complete with shower, lockers, loo, hair drier etc. excellent.
Decided not to eat at the bar tonight. Another Funster mentioned that you don't have to spend and eat and they're right. So it's chicken salad in the van and then we'll pop in and show our faces for a cider and róse spritzer before bed
We'll pop into Lidl first thing for essentials then head to surprise mum. Also called my other bro (he's ex RAF, but forgiven ) and he'll turn up for some fish and chips. He's a first response medic and also a blood express dispatch rider, so it's good that he'll not be on duty. That'll get the old girl going bless her, seeing us all on a Sunday afternoon.
We'll stay the night there and then decided to head on down to BritStop 211. Never even heard of the place before, but I'm really excited to be heading there, just to see what it's all about
Then the plan is to head on down to 138. Well that's the plan at the moment, but plans never survive first contact with the enemy, so in my case the dreaded cider
More info tomorrow
