we went to fourwinds in march cambridgeshire, what a great site owners are really friendly, anyway on the way there, i was trying to be clever, but it backed fired on me, now this site is only hour an half away from us, and should be no problem, wrong i`m driving i couldn`t remember if the last time we went through stamford, which nearly closed the town off,so i followed the signs to avoid stamford, just in case and it took us three and half hours to get there at 1 point we was in norfolk, which is no where near cambridge, so we finally arrived it was dark by this time, and tryed to reverse my van in the pitch black and nearly put in the bushes, the missus and the site owner(jon) shouting stop stop, just in time too! so got it straight and in the middle of the hardstanding pitch, unhitch put the legs down connected the hook up and going to finsh things in morning,woke up to snow, then filled up the water barrel connected pump, switch water heater on connected the gas switched it on, then ran out of gas, so asked where they sold gas, so went on our quest to get another bottle, every where sold out that does it went back to the van and packed all up and came home, by this time i didn`t care if we went through stamford, and it turns out we don`t so we was home within hour and half, so if you see me around any sites, please,please don`t ask me for directions, gods knows where i will send you

Hadn't you got a spare cylinder on board? I always carry a full one besides the one in use just in case that ever happens and can't obtain a refill.

no when we checked the bottle we had quarter full bottle, but when we went to use it it only lasted 5 mins, but we will be getting a second bottle,so we will have 2 full ones when we go out next with our van.

Let me know your birthday, I will buy you a satnav and a gas bottle indicator. Seriously though, why on earth did you go THROUGH Stamford as it's bypassed by the A1?
