I'm trying to convince Naomi to drive the work campervan, I've said she only has to drive on a motorway and I'll park it when there. Much better idea than a tent.

May have to wait until will is back from hol for answer. I'm not sure on pet policy at the place. Personally I don't mind, but will depend on what the show site allows
