That's okay, you still have over a week to replace the spring

Roughly what size is the spring. We have a selection at work so I might be able to lay my hands on a sutable one.

Spring is about 40mm in length by 5.5 - 6mm inside diameter.Outer diameter not exceeding 7mm. Looks pretty flimsy, a bit like the sort you find inside a pen. If you have anythign suitable mate that would be brilliant as springs aren't an easy thing to come by apparently.

Si - the tent is in a cylindrical bag, 8" diameter by 3 foot. you could repack it in to a different bag so long as you have somewhere for the poles (about 2' long at a guess)

Being that this is now less than two weeks away, has anyone started making plans for the trip down to the campsite?

It is a 2hr15 min journey door to door from maidenhead using the boring motorways or maybe we could do a more exciting route.

I have taken the afternoon off work so that I can make the journey during daylight hours etc. Is anyone else planning on making the trip in the afternoon also?

I was planning on leaving straight after work, 4.30pm on a Friday, perfect for the rush hour!

I'll be going from Windsor, route undecided if anyone is leaving around this time. I hadn't thought about the route to much yet.

I have taken the rest of my life off work (until I find another job)So I'm free for an afternoon ride down. Prefer not to start from Maidenhead though, we are going South right? I haven't even looked where it is.

That sounds like a long time, google thought an hour and a half from Windsor!
