Electrical Details
Please take a look at the Electric hook up info download above.
Electric is provided by Temporary Diesel Generator due to the countryside nature of the campsite. This means the supply has to be restricted to 8amps. You should note that 8 amps is not enough for a conventional household kettle. If you use too many items at the same time the power will trip. It also means that you will hear the generators running close by to the hook up area. You should note that the Generators do result in some background noise, but with out the noise there is no electricity!
Live in caravans & campers
You need to bring a double insulated three core cable which is of an outdoor grade and has a 16a single phase CeeForm socket on one end and a plug on the other. This must be a minimum 2.5mm cable.
Tent Campers
You need to bring a suitable cable for your hook up. This must be a 16a single phase CeeForm plug (blue) with suitable grade of double insulated three core outdoor cable. 1.5mm or larger (twin and earth is NOT acceptable). The other end of the cable should be a 13amp socket with some form of protection, electrical and mechanical. The cable should ideally be 20m long but a maximum of 30m. The 13a socket must be kept off the ground, under cover & away from liquids.
