Looks like it could be a bush for a pee and no straight hair for you!!

Or you could do as we are - hotel Fri night, camp Sat night!!

If it had plug points in the shower I think your hair could end up very curly and defo need the straighteners.

Also depends how cold that water is from the outside tap. Splashed on your face might straighten it up again.

Blyton Airfield,
Kirton Road (B1205)
Blyton
DN21 3PE

Is your route coming off the A1 at Newark on to the A1133?

If you come off a bit further up at Markham Moor A1/A57 there is a Shell services (DN22 0QU) there for those that need Shell.

Taking A57 there is a toll bridge, no tunnel sorry, Duham Bridge Toll Charges then A1133 - A156 - Gainsborough - A159 - Blyton - B1205

From Shell to B1205/Kirton Rd via toll

Or if you want to miss the toll you could go A638 - Retford - A620 - A631 - Gainsborough - A159 - Blyton - B1205

From Shell to B1205/Kirton Rd via Retford

I'd be quiet if I were you - or you may find yourself travelling in the back!!!

I'm not concerned about the distance in the truck (by the way we're taking our Mitsi truck so that should give us a few points!!) more the company all that way!!

Hi Mark
There is a Shell garage on the A1 just north of peterborough for a top up. The A1133 from Newark looks a small windy road on the map but it is`nt its quite a straight fast road I use it to get to saxilby rather than the busy Lincoln bypass.
Also if you do head towards saxilby on the A57 there is an Adult shop on the side of the road. Pretty useless info for guy`s of our age I know, but we can always dream. .....................................I Know er indoors will be on here in a minute.
