I always think this, it's amazing. 7 hours ago, Crazyfool01 said: Maybe something like this 7 hours ago, Cheesey said: Difficult to tell with the angle and foreshortening. Might be more like this: Selfishly, I hope this doesn't happen as I camp in Oxlyers and surely this will push some Park Home people to camp there, making it more difficult to get a spot.

As mentioned above, the Windows Snipping Tool or something similar is the way 👍 Or, for a simple screenshot with no markup you can use the Time Machine, zoom into the part you want, right click, copy image, then just paste it into your post on the forum.

Remember last year, I didn't really look into where the Co-op was in comparison to the campervan fields. Walked past it one day and realised, it's basically like walking to your next town/village alongs co-op its that far. That's when I started to realise just how enormous the place is.

tomf3 Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 They wouldn't usually chuck the spider up 5 weeks early before any of their portacabins, shipping containers, staff catering etc were in place. So this strongly suggests something new that needs more time (maybe foundations) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appears that they have just been an Elton special. There is time for the additional bracing to go on obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was watching FatBoy Slim at the Park last year on the Hill, was about 10.30pm. Laid down taking it all in, knackered. Then realised it was a 1 hour+ walk back to the Campervan.

Get more people to Arcadia directly from the railway line. Hope so I had a very bad experience there last year with crowds going in opposite directions.

I’d not thought of that before. I’ve recently installed hedgehog highway’s in my garden fence and side gate… basically the same thing! 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
