CMC River Breamish

At present on the above site in Northumberland.
Very well cared for location in a beautiful part of the country. 
If you pay a visit at any time, try the Ingram Cafe well worth dropping in. 

Had a slight Cadiz problem with the nearside front spotlight which shorted out and blew a fuse. 
After much humming and aahing and swearing it turned out to be a loose power wire that had come adrift in the fitting.
Pulling the wires down to get to the spade connectors is a bit nerve wracking as if they come adrift in the superstructure then Lord knows how you get them out. 

Dan Trudgian on one of his videos suggests placing a cable tie around the wires on out to prevent them going back up the hole.

Then it was down to Alnwick for a soldering iron, solder and some wire strippers. 
Eventually got it all wired up and back in place but twisting the fitment to secure it is the Devil's own job, anyhow it works now.

Incidentally if you need to replace one of these spots, they are the ones with the USB connectors, try to avoid Prima Leisure where they are £52 plus P&P, they are readily available elsewhere for half the price. 
Anyway our next sojourn is our yearly trip to Norfolk at the end of July

PS
Grinders in Wooler also worth a visit.
