Door hooks

What size have you fitted to the back door? This is to hold it open as it's missing on mine. Otherwise I'll need to go and buy some bungies!

Tan Hill Inn (Richmond, Yorkshire) DL11 6ED

Stopped there last night. Staff are slightly bonkers! It's £5 per head for camping in the carpark/side of road which goes straight to the Mountain Rescue team. Breakfast is £6. Some very nice beer too.
