    We do ten days on 4 off. So I was thinking of taking my car down with the " my little tent" in the trunk. Got an inflatable mattress and fold up chair.
    Looking at a camp site ( £10 per night ) it's got free wi fi. Restaurant and bar. Plus heated pool. We get £35 a day live out allowance but we've a house rented .....so don't want to pay too much for a second place to stay for a few Weeks ... If I drive I will have to leave at 4.30 am. And won't get back until 10 at night.

    Just back from there to Bren,you can get plenty of cheap digs in aber,we stayed there when at the start of the line but when we got past the middle we moved to a rented cottage in a place called Lampeter that was good it had 5 double bed rooms and two sofa couches,don't know if you are going that far down but if you need the number I have it here

    6 hr. round trip? In Northern BC we call that Tuesday Kidding aside, that's a brutal drive to do day after day.

    Inflatable beds and folding chairs do not really work for me in a sort of "might as well be lying on the ground" and "will probably end up lying on the ground" type of way.

    Given your size and weight I'd say that's going to be a rough time.
    Portable defibrillators were first invented to save the lives of linemen. Where's yours?
