I also need that answer, so off to investigate and will report back

Only some have hook ups, but not part of the group booking. Keith will clarify.
Those that do are continental 2 pin.

But don't count on them, most of the sites in the last couple years haven't had them.

Wire in an inverter if you need mains.

Think i will have to have an inverter


Can not live without my hair drier

No need , most of the bars sell cold beer

Per Nick's comment - Don't rely on a hook-up they are rare. The inverter route is by far the the best option.


The first part of the rally will take you into Wales - so take stock of Tony's comments; and make sure you have good driving lights


I hope this post has been helpful

Not at all, more goal post moving me thinks.

Having visited 3 campsites this pm, all 3 had 2 pin. Also found this which might be helpful:

Open the car windows as you drive along Julie, guaranteed to dry your hair, but I won't be held responsible for any bad "hair days"

Also, be aware that most "continental" sites will only have a low current supply.
In the UK, most are 16amp, some 10, but overseas you'll find they can be as low as 3.

For most needs an inverter will suffice, just be aware of the total power your appliances need, eg fridge, chargers etc. In all seriousness, a hair drier, for example, is a high load and will need a big inverter to run.
Compressor fridges also need big inverters, whereas an absorbtion fridge requires less, but the trade off is less efficiency.

As an ever helpful marshal, and being welsh, I have arranged to have several sacks of electric with me, I can sell, either a bucket load, or a full sack if you need it. A reasonable amount of beer will secure a constant supply.

I knew Richie would have an angle on this.

Oh - No; I've mentioned 'Angle' - a small place in Pembs, SW Wales; That's another clue thrown away Richie - it's all your fault

Was talking about me not Julie

Will pass on that idea to her though

Thanks for all the info troops.
