Do you have an extraction licence?

No. I have researched this already and provided I use less than a certain
amount af water I don't need one. IIRC this figure is something like 100
cubic metres per month. This may not be the correct figure but even if I
use
the full 45 gallons twice a week it won't be anywhere near.

HAD to flag that one up :-))

Lifting a 10ft head of water is a bit of a problem. I don't think that any
solar powered pump is going to get enough ooommpphh to do it.

You could try a 12 volt battery on a trolly and an Electric Bilge Pump as
used in boats, but the battery would have to be carted back and forward for
charging :-((

I would go for a Whale Gusher Bilge Pump as used in small cruisers and
yachts up to say 40ft which is hand operated. Has the capabilities of
lifting water 10 feet ("I THINK") and would do the job quite quickly. Pump
fixed to a piece of wood with room for your feet either side and work the
chrome handle backwards and forwards :-)) Handle takes out for easy stowage
:-))

Just my idea and thoughts, but someone may come up with something different.

If you want to go down this avenue, let me know and I will nip over to some
boat chandlers and check some pumps out. Pity you didn't post yesterday, I
had to go to Cowes this morning!!
