Cripes, this sound like an epic voyage and v time consuming. Have you considered putting it on a trailer and driving up there? Would be less stressful :)

We were in a caravan site recently and the site manager knocked on our day saying it's "the law" to unwind our cable , I started to argue and his reply was that's what the caravan and Motorhome club insist on and if I didn't unwind the reel he'd disconnect the supply. SWMBO reminded me that for...
