Eriba Man

This is night No.59/2019 living in my caravan. The dogs and I are pitched at Pitrennie Mill, a farm CL near Fordoun. Embarrassingly close to home (!), but a really nice little site which I've passed hundreds of times on the Auchenblae to Fettercairn road.

I replaced the fabric webbing as I found that the existing webbing was too short to accommodate the hinge and the bolt, preventing the table being folded away. To close, slip the bolt shut, lift the table, and the hinge is caught in the webbing. It 'parks' as good as the original arrangement. Have trie...
