As we have many new nomads that have joined our forum recently I thought it would be a good time to repost a list of what I consider to be very helpful websites. I'm sure you will find one or 2 that will be of help.

Cheers

thanks for sharing them ..

Thanks from me too H & J, only one problem, I can't register for the my park list, it keeps rejecting my password as invalid and I've tried all the combinations I can think of, do you have any hints please

Must have done something wrong before as I went back to it and put my password in again and this time it worked.
