Aside from the usual walks and a stagger too & from the excellent Park Gate Inn for lunch the highlight was a visit to the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust at Westport Lake Visitor Centre. It is a very pleasant way to spend a couple of hour walking by the lake on the banks of the Trent complete with Kingfishers a resident Terrapin, and a great boardwalk.
Monday night saw an absolutely torrential downpour with no wind at all which all but overwhelmed the Gazebo and which saw me shoving water off the roof at 2 am & 4 am!
This made me determined to find an alternative quick erect awning. We thought about an AirBeam type thing but these tend to be a tunnel type which previous experience has told us are restricted in available space.
So we opted for a Khyam Motordome Classic in the end of season sales. It certainly erects quickly and we now need an opportunity to try it out before the real autumn sets in.
