Thanks for the offer Dale but I gave it a go today and to be honest I think that me trying to reverse a trailer in close proximity to some tents is really not a good idea!

If it gets a little tricky Lou it can sometimes be earlier to unhook it an move position, the main problem is that the trailer is smaller than the vehicle so its tricker to manoeuvre, unlike a vehicle where the trailer is longer.

Thanks Kevin. I received a few lessons from my brother in law yesterday but his main piece of advice was "don't reverse!" so I think I'll try not to get in a position where I need to, but it's fairly light and easy to manoeuvre if I do need to unhook it :)

I can't wait till the weekend, but we wont be in either Morris this year as we're taking the caravan on up to Alnwick and Loch Lomond straight after. Comming up on Friday and leaving Sunday after dinner. Should be good with the weather predictions.

As we're not comming in Sky, and Molly is no where near ready, we held our own mini rally as part of our scarecrow festival, just so they didn't feel left out.

See you there.

All,

When entering the rally site you may be asked if you are a member of the mmoc by Harewood staff if you are not in a Minor, please show them a copy of MM or your membership card. Otherwise you may be directed into the Harwood part of the site.
