Another hectic morning here at Mission Control. All grass pitched with electric now sold, with 4 on the waiting list. But we still have 5 hard-standing electric pitches available.

We're booked for the whole bash! Just one question, when the missus booked she was told that the hard standing pitches were for motor homes and caravans not Bongos and that we could only have a grass pitch. Is this the rule on this site?

That's not quite correct. It's the other way round. Caravans are not allowed on the grass pitches, but anyone can go on the hard standing pitches. It's my fault, I didn't explain it to Tracy properly. Would you prefer to be on a hard standing pitch?

Thanks Ian, we were hoping for a hard standing. Can you sort it out? The booking was made by the better half, Andrea Smith.

No problem. I've got someone who wants to swap the other way round.

It doesn't look as if the Wayfarer Inn is going to be ready. Lots of scaffolding and weather problems I think. My brother lives on the Barmouth Road near Harlech. Ps,Inn only 5 minute walk from site.

It's called the Wayside Inn. They were hoping to have it open for Easter.
