Hi Guys,
If you lads are still bringing a caravan down, I have secured provision for two campers/caravans in the pub close by that has the campsite. Can't guarantee electric hook up, but the bar will be open and serving food on Friday/Saturday evening. I will have a couple of chaps on barby detail for the daytime, but I could do with a tea urn as with only one kettle there might be a queue for tea :lol: What is your eta on the Friday? See you all soon :D

Right then people, the full address is;
Light Commercial Services
Unit C1, Hoo Marina Industrial Estate,
Vicarage Lane,
Hoo,
Rochester,
KENT
ME3 9LB
Vicarage Lane AND the Industrial Estate share the same Post Code, for those of you who's sat navs require a house number, enter number 4.
When your sat nav tells you that you have arrived at destination, continue down Vicarage Lane until you see a large red building.
Take the right fork so as to put the red building on your left, we are on the right about 75 yards further down the concrete road.
As regards arrival time, any time Friday will be ok, I will pm a contact number to the 'ring leaders' :lol:

Don't know how you did that, not sure how to paste the pictures in :lol: , but not quite the right one :lol:
If you go back up the concrete road in the you will see a blue connect sports van with scaffolding sign writing, that is the correct unit.
If you can put the correct picture up, I will confirm this in a 'quote', thanks, :D

You had better move the Mini, otherwise Matt will be all over it :lol:



To post those pictures from google maps, look at the picture, and on the top right just under where it says "sign in" there are 3 symbols. Click on the right hand one, and two links will appear, copy the top one and paste it into your post. Job done :!: :D
