Yeah, they start herding together the thunder-boxes on a Monday night - but if you're prepared to walk, the proper flushing site loos are still functional for a while on the Tuesday morning.

Dispose of any rubbish on Monday night, because bins and skips dissappear sharpish, and the water main gets turned off at some point Tuesday morning so standpipes and the site loos can be dismantled (which can be a pain if you're busy trying to fill an engine at the time!)

Oh, and don't plan on a lie-in on a Tuesday either - there are tractors, front loaders, bin lorries and steam engines moving around from very early o'clock!
...In the case of lowy loaders heading for 'Dorset they can start running up air tanks and hitting the road at exceedingly early o'clock in the small hours.
