For those who have a cigarette lighter in their cars, another option is to buy an inverter to run 240v lights from 12v. Ring do one the same size and shape as a drinks can with an output of around 100-150w. Cost around £25.
I have one if anyone wants to borrow it.

Had a thought, contrary to popular belief I do now and again, If the weather is bad I could travel down with the Volvo, not a classic but 120,000 miles and still a good runner. If I travel down with the modern, heaven forbid, I could do the Camera work, Video and still, mind you I would need either the best Post codes sites for the sat nav, or someone who knows the short cuts to be on station.
Might be worth me doing the google route and see what looks the best places.
Roger
PS either way I'll bring the camcorder.
Here's one I did earlier

That would be cool if you can't make it down in your DLM, I have a place in mind that I would like moving photos/video of each car if we could, if you need to know short cuts etc then I am sure we can help you out!
Although I would prefer you to make it down in the DLM

Been watching the 10 day forecast post code by post code. Looks like it might improve, as long as it's 'no rain' 'no snow' I can wrap up well. might need lifting out of the car though
