We've not used our Kyham Indiana 8 for 2-3 yrs, and want to at the end of August. The site we're interested in has 8m pitches, and from memory our tent is 7.5m in length. What are the implications of this? Will it be too snug? What should I ask the site owners?

Ring the site and give them your tent dimensions.
They will then be in a position to tell you whether they have a suitably sized pitch for your tent.
Your Indiana 8 is the same dimensions as my Ontario 8 - 7.5m x3.7m and i allow about 1m all round for the guys, so a 7.5m long tent would struggle to fit on an 8m long pitch as there would be insufficient space to have the guys at a suitable distance from the tent.

Thanks. When I had a brief conversation about it a few days ago, the person I spoke to said the guys wouldn't be a problem. Perhaps there is a decent minimum distance between tents, but not been to this site before. Don't know where the car parking is either (must ask). On a previous occasion, at another site in Nth Devon the pitch size was ~12x9m, and car was beside tent.
