I usually wind my EHU cable to the natural curl of the cable,
this however is "guaranteed" not to tangle.

Seems to work thanks, if only I can remember how to do it when it needs doing.

But how do you tie it all together so it doesn't unroll and get tangled up in transit? String?

Or do you somehow use the cable itself to secure the coil?

Good point mate, by the way I don't expect a quick response from Anne and Bruce, they are not the best at emails and things and also very busy.

I use the ribbon that secured our awning when it first arrived,
it is easy to untie knots but does not come loose.
