A 50m reel will do you, the longer the better.

We had a 30m cable last year and it only just reached to the edge of our pitch, then someone parked on it.

I wouldn't worry about it too much - just take a few multi-blocks (depending what you are planning to power), the longer the better and some adaptor plugs (as you could be daisy chaning off of a UK or an European multi-block).

If you come up short Carrefour sell (worryingly) cheap French extensions to get the extra meters you need.

That's lovely eps, but it doesn't help much. What do the green/yellow/blue dots signify?

Blue dot = Water
Yellow dot = Electric
Green dot = water + electric = turmoil.

Actually I think it may be
Blue dot = Electric
Yellow dot = Water

At least last year we looked and out pitch was next to a yellow dot and we though - electric, perfect. When we got there the pitch matched the map...but it was quite clearly NOT an electric point but something all together wetter.
