Hi mid44did I think I posted a reply in the wrong field sorry for that its cause I'm a newbie and lots to learn.
Thanks for the roof info I will keep my eye on it. And put it as item one on my check list.
This weekend if the sun shines in England my wife (Judith) and me will try to follow it for our first outing ..will be taking pen and paper to note all the things we leave behind, and a making another list of things we didn't know we needed, but have already packed the tea and milk and my lounger, so I should service the weekend.
Thanks for your help..cheers
