Touring

Another cheeky weekend away, so a local site was required and so I chose Woodside Ridge, grass pitches but the weather has been okay so shouldn’t be a problem.

We picked the ‘van up and headed South, we soon arrived and were warmly greeted by the warden. Not having her specs with her, we walked to the reception hut where the arrivals for today were displayed on a notice. Ridgwick assigned to pitch 4, one away from our usual pitch 5! A little reverse back down the track and onto the pitch we went. We were soon set-up and enjoying some sunshine, although it didn’t last and the clouds and rain moved in. Never mind, some TV and food sufficed for the rest of the night.

Sunday, off to church first thing and then returned early afternoon. Weather again not so clever so we didn’t venture far. There’s a little walk in the woods next door which we’ve never done, must try that next year. The site has quite a few seasonal caravans on it now, although there is still plenty of space for tourers and tents. All pitches now have EHU bollards, rather than the laying of cables around the site, so looks a lot more refined, especially with the shrubs and bushes starting to mature as borders between the pitches. Monday came and back to storage, a nice weekend break.

The site has good, well defined pitches now. They are all grass and most seem fairly level around the perimeter of the site. Some seasonal pitches in the centre require some levelling. 16A EHU bollards between every two pitches. The toilet block is excellent, very clean with piped music. Washing up sink is also provided along with CDP. Access to the site is easy from both the A1 & A19. All in all, a great site and well worth a visit. It’s near to Durham, Seahouses, Hartlepool etc. So plenty of interesting places to visit and things to do.

Our destination for this weekend would be North again, this time to a little farm CS site just past Alnwick in Chathill.

The journey there was smooth and hassle free. The site is not far from the A1, so access is straight forward. Upon arrival we opened gate and then decided where to pitch. There were two other caravans on site but still plenty of room to pitch up. From the entrance, the left side is flatter whilst the right side sloped off down towards the bottom of the field. Straight ahead is a field which is not to be used, good for dog exercising though. We chose to pitch up on the back hedge facing towards the other field. We soon settled down for the rest of the day, however we had sprung a leak under the shower, so no tap water for the weekend.

Sunday and time for a walk following breakfast. This was a pleasant stroll through some woodlands and then onto the farm road itself. A few cards passed us which were wedding guests for the Doxford Barns just a little further up the lane. Back to the ‘van and dinner time. Relaxed for the rest of the day.

Monday, quite a nice day. We packed up and headed off fairly prompt as Cath had to work. The other campers there were very pleasant, nice to have a chat. The return journey was smooth and pleasant, we soon were back at storage and put the ‘van away, ready for the next outing.

The site itself is very nice. All grass pitches, 16A EHU. Unisex toilet block (2 toilets and sinks) and a shower. All perfectly adequate, nothing plush but practical. The site is run on a self-service basis, in that the owners don’t show up, payment is made via an envelope you put into a little black box in the information hut. This is perfectly practical in our opinion and works well. Contact numbers are given should you need assistance. We had a pleasant stay and give a thumbs up to the site, it’s our kind of –
getaway!

Saturday:
We left home at an unusually late hour, seeing how the site was only a 2 hour drive away. We picked up the ‘van and headed West. There would be no stops on this occasion, there really aren’t any good lay-by’s even to stop in, so we headed straight for the site. We followed the directions given by the site, as an approach via the A596 isn’t suitable, which is the way a sat-nav would by default bring you in. The access road to the site was rather potholed, but this was fixed the following day, credit to the owners.

There is a board at the entrance to the site giving your name and which pitch you are on. We were on pitch 3, so headed for the middle of the 5 pitches. Judy was there cleaning at the time, we backed in and began setting up. Everything went to plan, but the wind however, was blowing a gale. It made the awning an interesting task, another plus for the air awning, we managed to put it up in this strong wind, we would never have attempted it with the old ‘poles’ awning! After that it was tea, TV and the rest of the night indoors, as the rain let loose along with the wind. Well it is the lakes!

Sunday:
Following breakfast we decided to walk into the small village of Aspatria, seeing how the weather had much improved. This was about a 4 mile walk in total, quite pleasant, but to be honest there isn’t much in Aspatria, a Spar and a Co-op, post office an that’s about it. Upon return we decided to head into Cockermouth for the supermarket, which was the nearest one to us. We went mainly for a shaver adapter, as I had forgot to bring one for our toothbrush charger! We also picked up some cooked breakfast and BBQ food, as we fancied our chances of some outdoor cooking! Back at the site, we relaxed for the rest of the day.

Monday:
Cooked breakfast, yeah! Weather was fine so we enjoyed a cooked breakfast and relaxed for the morning. In fact, it was going to be a full relax day, so nothing else to report for today 🙂

Tuesday:
The Settle to Carlisle train journey was on the cards today, so an early start and a drive to Carlisle to pick up the 9am train. We got parked and eventually found our way into the station. Jumped on the train which was just about ready to go and off we headed for a 1.5h journey, on what is considered to be one of the best rail journeys in this country. We passed through stations which were open and some which were still closed. We traversed the Ribblehead Viaduct and departed at said station. We took a nice stroll down to the viaduct and had a walk about. We were lucky enough to catch a steam train on the line as an added bonus. The station also has a visitors center with plenty of information regarding the railway. Following a coffee in the cafe we returned back to Carlisle and back to the site, the weather now unbelievably hot, 22 plus!

We waited for the sun to relax for the evening and then BBQ’d! Out with the burgers, sausages etc and enjoyed an evening meal al fresco. The sink on pitch makes for easy cleaning of the BBQ, a very nice touch, although the hot water heater only holds 10L, so use it carefully otherwise you’ll have to wait for it to reheat in-between! Movies and snacks and windows wide open as we relaxed for the night in this strange thing called ‘heat’.

Wednesday:
A chill day following yesterday’s excursion. Weather has been pretty poor all night but has cleared up nicely through the day. Nothing to report other than a nice relaxing day! Oh, we went for some milk at the Spar in Aspatria which we forgot the other day, exciting!

Thursday:
Another relaxing day, weather not too bad, a little windy. Awning came down at tea time and then we spent the rest of the night with books and TV.

Friday:
Standard pack-up and off we headed back home. Experienced a blow-out from a lorry in front of us on the A69, luckily no damage suffered. Took a slightly different route off the A19 near home, due to a broken down vehicle causing some long tailbacks. Back at storage and parked the ‘van up until the next time.

The site is very relaxing, so peaceful, the only sounds are birds and sheep. Pitches are of a generous size and equipped with water and drainage point. There is also a toilet block on each pitch! Yes I kid you not. Each little hut has a toilet and sink (with hot water). On the back of the hut is a washing-up sink. The hut is fitted out very nicely, no cobwebs and unsightly copper pipes, we are talking wall boards, cable trunking, coat hooks, large sink, shelf, mirror, heater – a really good and well executed idea. There is a CDP point near the bins at the entrance to the site.

Follow the directions given by the site, as there is no suitable approach available from the A596, despite what your sat-nav thinks! The access road to the site is long and can get pot-holed as we found out, but the owner keeps on top of it. A great site, worth visiting.

Our first outing since France and we’re in the middle of the school holidays, so somewhere near and adult only was preferable. The Granary ticks all the boxes so it was the site of choice for this weekend, the first time we’ve been here ‘in season’ so to speak, as we usually go early or later on in the year.

This trip saw us use a new sat-nav for the first time, as our old unit had decided to start playing up and randomly rebooting, 6 years constant service wasn’t a bad innings though. Pleased to report that then new unit works very well and has a couple of extra useful features. We promptly arrived on site and again met Maureen and Dixon, who chatted away and recalled us from previous visits as we remembered ‘Limpy’. There were a few units already there, but we found a spot on the grass and pitched up. The weather was quite pleasant, so we managed a little outdoor time before heading in for the night. The plan was to clean the caravan roof on this trip, so I washed the side body today and fingers crossed, we would get good weather for the roof tomorrow.

Sunday, we headed off to church and then duly returned early afternoon. Weather wasn’t looking to clever, but it wasn’t raining, so I decided to do the roof as planned. All went well and soon the ‘van was beaming again. The oven has developed a fault though, there being no spark in the oven for ignition, not a major fault, something to look at on our next expedition. Sunday came and went, just like a couple of motorhomes that did as well.

Monday, we got packed up and were once again visited by Maureen who saw us off. A very pleasant weekend as usual and as always, it was very nice to see Maureen and Dixon again (and the sheep).

Saturday:
Our usual early start saw us pick up the ‘van and head South. The route to the tunnel would be a little different this year as we would be using Wetherby services, our new preferred option for first stop, following by Grantham North, the same old dump and then a new stop, namely Baldock Services on the A1. Yes, instead of using the M11 and Birchanger, we would continue all the way to the M25 on the A1 and use Baldock. This we did, and although the A1 is harder work South of the A14, Baldock services is much better then Birchanger, numerous places to park and good access to fuel and not busy at all! Our future new route has now been set. We made it to the tunnel in good time and chose an earlier train, although this didn’t leave much time for toilet and coffee, so next time we will resist and opt for the booked train. On wards through France, A16, A26 and we soon concluded the first leg and arrive at our Aire for the night. The Aire was quiet this year and we had a good nights sleep.

Sunday:
The second leg went well with no incidents and we arrived at the campsite only 10 minutes off schedule (due to one extra Aire stop). We were warmly greeted and booked in, allocated the biggest pitch on the site and we left to set-up. The pitch is big but access is a little tight, we had to reverse the caravan in and then use the Mamut to position the ‘van as required. The views are simply stunning and the pitch is very private, unlike some of the others. The only downside was that the EHU and water were on a bollard located on the next adjacent pitch, but access was awkward via an undulating section. We hooked the electric up but sought water from another water point.

The awning went up and finally we were set. We finished the evening off with some more sandwiches and a drink and watched the sun set over the horizon. This looks like a nice site and we’re looking forward to exploring it and the surrounding area.

Monday:
We awoke rather early and headed for the showers to refresh after the weekends road trip here. The shower block is fairly small with three showers, 3 female toilets, 1 male toilet and some sinks. There is a washing-up area with sinks and a dish washer, I kid you not! Upon arrival we were given some tokens for said machine, not sure if we’ll use it though! Outside urinals and a CDP complete the set-up. Oh, the toilets have seats 🙂

Then off to the supermarket, a Super U just further along the N79. We got there and filled our bags with the usual, it’s quite amusing that we now know the layout of all Super U’s, each and everyone is the same. Bags packed we headed back to base. The temperature now reaching the mid 30’s, we took things a little slower and relaxed as the sun shone. I did find time to set the satellite up though for a fix of TV when shelter from the sun is required! The water situation was also rectified as I hooked up the water via the Ultraflow Waterline pipe, so we had a direct mains water supply to the caravan now.

We managed a little walk around the site once the sun’s intensity had relaxed. The layout of the site is good, with most pitches offering good privacy. A nice blend of pitches and statics, with most facilities being offered by the entrance behind reception. Although I did spot a ping-pong table near to our pitch, we will be visiting that on the odd occasion! Up by reception there is the swimming pool, bar/restaurant and also a little farm, that’s a first for us! Outside of the site across the road are playing fields for football/basketball/tennis etc. The town of Dompierre-les-Ormes is literally just a short walk down this road, so you have access to some shops and cafes by foot, we’ll be checking this out another day.

Tuesday:
Following a very hot night, we awoke not so early and enjoyed breakfast alfresco and pretty much relaxed in the glorious sunshine for the rest of the afternoon. Deciding to push my luck, I deployed Frodo in the awning to chill the beers, not sure on the amperage of the supply, it would either take it or trip it, can’t remember if it’s 10A or 16A. Pleased to say however that it is a 16A supply, so chilled beers it is, along with fan, computer & phone chargers etc.

A lot of pitches have been vacated today, one thing to note, the site is very quick to cut the grass on pitches departed, which is a good thing. I have to say, the site is looking top notch in our opinion so far.

Wednesday:
Weather still glorious, we stayed on site all day and just relaxed. Although I did wash the front of the ‘van, the rest will have to wait – far too hot!

Thursday:
Time to venture into the town of Macon – we haven’t been anywhere so far during this trip, so today we must make an effort, despite the heat (36 degrees!). We set off following a light breakfast, I’d chosen to park in the Supermarket Intermache, as I thought we’d do the sights and then return for some shopping. Well, how wrong could things go? Well, without doing too much planning, we set off and headed toward what I though would be the river. Alas, this turned out to be an industrial estate with no through access to the river. With the heat beating down on us, I returned to fetch the car and picked Cath up and then we headed further into town to eliminate any further walking. This we did but still Cath was beaten, so I headed on further solo and found the spot I was looking for, namely the bridge over the Saone, took some photos and then returned to find Cath in the bus shelter! Following which we did some shopping in said supermarket and then returned back to base. Needless to say we relaxed for the rest of the day in the 36 degrees heat.

Friday:
We took a small walk into the village of Dompierre-les-Ormes in the afternoon, nothing much to see really: cafe, bakery, pharmacist, tabac and a small groceries store along with the church of course. We soon headed back to camp, as everything was shut anyhow, it was midday after all! There are a few walks of differing lengths that can be undertaken from the site, so we might just tackle the small one sometime.

Saturday:
Relaxed all day, as Cath didn’t want to walk too far following the last couple of days. Weather still glorious, washed another side of the ‘van before retiring to the awning to watch some DVD’s, internet etc. We did install the awning strip protector however, so we’ll see if that helps reduce any black streaks or moss infestation within the awning rail.

Sunday:
Washed the rear of the ‘van and then .. relaxed!

Monday:
Another trip to the ‘Super U’ to restock on some essentials and fill the car. Got stuck behind an incoming caravan at 1.00pm at the site, when reception doesn’t open until 2.00pm, muppets! Cath did some washing and then we relaxed yet again. Weather a little cooler today with more of a cloud base, making a welcome change. And indeed it rained this evening, yeah!

Tuesday:
Another day in paradise, yes everything is dry following the rain yesterday and we’re back up in the 30’s. We headed into the village again to get the thimble and some paracetamol. Following which we did some cleaning and then relaxed for the rest of the day again.

Wednesday:
We went for a walk into the village for a couple of food items, but again the weather wasn’t great and upon our return, we were caught in one almighty downpour, drenched to the skin!

Thursday:
Time to take the awning down, again weather not good, so we waited for a break in the rain clouds and then proceeded. We did our best to displace the earwigs and ants and then packed everything away ready for tomorrow’s departure.

Friday:
The journey back North began, nothing untoward, weather still poor but we eventually arrived at our Aire for the night. We had quite a it of time to kill and with the poor weather, made for a first where we wouldn’t be sitting outside watching the day descend. We got through it however and set to sleep for the night.

Saturday:
Early start and chewed the the A26 until we reached the tunnel. Again, major security disruptions, this time police checking for explosives. The queues backed up and we ran short of time, after battling with some queue dodging coaches. We managed the quickest toilet stop ever and then boarded the train. The weather in England was actually very good, much better than the dark and dingy skies of Northern France! We did the same three rest break stops, again all good and will be our three of choice from now on. After a long day, we got the ‘van back in storage and headed home for a shower and a curry.

The site was an excellent choice. Very good facilities: Bar, restaurant, games room, swimming pool, golf, tennis, ping pong, playground, farm, library and fishing pond. Toilet blocks are always clean. Pitches, mixed bag here, some very big, some quite small and awkward, even some of the premium pitches. EHU was 16A along with water point, although on our pitch 63, it was very awkward to access. Staff very friendly and the village within walking distance is a nice bonus. Easy access to the Autoroutes: Macon, Cluny, Taize just on the doorstep. Well worth a visit.

Another slight variance on the cheeky weekend getaway. We had to attend an event on Sunday afternoon, rather than the morning – so a local site was chosen, namely Old Hartley, as this is now our nearest site.

We collected the ‘van and after a few minutes drive, arrived at Old Hartley. The new storage site is really proving to be an asset being so local, the reduction in journey time, especially for the local weekend outings is a real bonus. We’ve been to Old Hartley before and knew that some levelling would be required! We were warmly greeted and allocated a pitch. I didn’t catch the names of the wardens, but they were the friendliest couple I’ve met on any CC site. We were close to where we were last time and soon had Mr Yellow deployed and the ‘van level. Weather was superb, the view is superb, life in a caravan is good! Saturday came and went.

Sunday, now we would usually be up early and away, but today we could relax and enjoy some poached eggs on toast. This we did and then ventured for the coastal walk. With the tide being in we couldn’t do the lighthouse route, so instead headed up toward Blyth. The plan being on the return journey we would call in for some fish & chips. This we duly did but alas, discovered that they don’t open on a Sunday, crazy? So we went back to the site, picked up the car and drove to Whitley Bay, where we had said fish & chips. Upon returning back to the site, we got ready and headed off for the function. Following which, with the weather still glorious, we set outside for a bit and watched the boats. Then TV, film and Sunday came to a close. Monday morning, a quick stock check ready for France and we hitched up and took the ‘van back to storage.

Old Hartley is a lovely little site with superb views from most pitches. Alas, to get these view means the site slopes quite a bit. There are little hardstandings for each plot, but these aren’t level, so just be prepared to do some levelling, but it’s well worth it for the views. Toilet block is as expected on any CC site, fresh water and waste by the motorhome point, 16A EHU. As mentioned the wardens are very welcoming. With this now being our local site, we will be visiting many more times in the future.

The trip this weekend would take us back down memory lane, not because we’ve been there before, well yes we have, but not with the caravan. The site chosen for this weekend was Percy Wood Country Park, the site that mum and dad used to have a static on. We’ve been here many times, when the kids were young to visit, so it was only fitting that now the site accepts tourers, as of last year, we would return.

The journey there is straightforward, a quick run up the A1 and you are there basically. We pulled into the site and spotted a tourer to our left, so we headed down the road which used to take you the part of the site where mum and dad’s static was, but this road has now been converted into the touring section, with a fence at the bottom, so no through road anymore. We pulled up the gravel provided for new arrivals and duly booked in. Reception is a very nice building and were warmly greeted by a chap who tried to book us in. All was well but following a little confusion with the pitch, 36 or 37, 4th in on the left – we eventually got sited on WS37, after checking the booking confirmation, it should have been WS36, but not really our fault and the site was quite empty, so no harm done.

The pitches are of course based on the old concrete standings for the statics that used to be there. But gravel has been placed awning side and another small section for the car, so nicely done. EHU is 16A and water tap on each pitch. Large stones are placed on the corner of pitches, which is a little odd, as it makes maneuvering a little awkward, plus we had the speed bump outside our pitch, minor niggles though. Weather not great today, so we stayed inside and let Saturday roll on and do its usual thing.

Sunday morning, following breakfast a trip to the Aln Valley Railway was on the cards. This heritage railway is located in Alnwick and is indeed in the process of recreating the line from Alnmouth into Alnwick, albeit not into Alnwick town itself, due to the A1. Shop, cafe, model railway and a diesel ride can all be had here. The track is still in the process of being laid up to Alnmouth, but it is still worth a visit to support the project. They were running diesel driving experiences whilst we were there, so I was more than chuffed to drive my first diesel! Following this we headed back to the site where we decided to go for a wander, to see what was different from when we were last here, some years ago. After this, we retired for the evening and completed yet another weekend away.

The site is well laid out, easily accessed from the A1. As mentioned, 16A EHU and water tap on every pitch. The amenities block houses 1 male, 1 female and 1 disabled room, each with toilet, sink and shower. Whilst perfectly usable, with a full 19 pitch capacity I think a slightly larger affair might have been better. With the kids playground just being by the entrance to the tourers, kids also used it as a convenience, not ideal. During our weekend stay it wasn’t cleaned once, which again is something that needs addressing. CDP was fine, although again surprised to note that there was no grey water point, so in the hedge it went! The site is open all year round, so handy for some out of season touring. Overall a good addition to our local weekend getaway sites.

Our first journey away from the new storage site, another cheeky weekend, this time back to the familiar ‘Potland Cottage Farm CL’ in Longhirst, Morpeth. We’ve been here a couple of times before, it fits the bill with hard standing and being local. EHU is only 10A, so a site to use more ‘in season’.

From picking the ‘van up we were soon heading North on the A19, which made such a pleasant change from having to head South and then return back up North. We cruised up the coastline on the A189 and then soon found ourselves at the site. The site was pretty full when we arrived, but we had our pitch vacant, the one we first used a couple of years ago. A quick reverse with the mover, due to the restricted space and we were set for the weekend again. Weather not good, but fairly dry so can’t complain too much!

We didn’t venture anywhere, just relaxed for the Saturday, did our usual Sunday routine and then the weekend was complete again, just like that!

The site has hard standings for 6 units, each with 10A EHU. There is a toilet shed, which houses a toilet and sink, along with the start of a shower unit, which has never been completed for reasons unknown! Fresh water, grey water disposal and CDP are all allocated next to this building. Chickens roam freely, fresh eggs available. A great CL, one which we will continue to use on an annual basis, well done Mike.

Another cheeky weekend away, so back to a firm favourite of ours, namely ‘The Croft Campsite’. This small 15 ‘van site is one of the best smaller scale campsites in the area. Once under the jurisdiction of the Camping & Caravan Club, but now free to welcome more than 5 ‘vans!

We arrived Saturday afternoon and were once again warmly greeted by Beverley who showed us to one of two remaining pitches. This is the fullest we’ve ever seen it, out usual spot had been taken, gasp! Even though there are more units allowed on the campsite now, it is never crowded, the pitches are of ample size. Water taps are more plentiful now with one between every two units. CDP and waste are the same as before, all up there with the best. Information room and kitchen still there, but now with the addition of a washing machine. Seriously, you couldn’t ask for more from a site. EHU are all 16A. The wash block is the same as last time with a separate ladies and gentleman’s door leading to a sink, toilet & shower, very nice. We were soon set-up and enjoying the very nice weather. So nice I decided to wash the ‘van so that she was sparkling for the whole weekend. Tea and evening followed, relaxing into the night.

Sunday, off to church so an early start. Upon returning the weather was still glorious, more outside relaxing was called for. We even had the joy of an escaped sheep from the field coming to visit us! Bliss, this is what a weekend escape is all about.

Monday, now for something different! We are changing storage sites, so our return journey was not the usual. Everything went well at the new site. We are now a lot closer to home and have 24hr key-fob access, awesome 🙂

Our first ever trip in our caravan back in 2011 was to Doe Park near Barnard Castle, 6 years later we’re back, but at a different site – namely Pecknell Farm. We picked up the ‘van in the rain, waded through a couple of ‘lakes’ in Chester-le-street which were causing some traffic problems and then headed South on the A1.

We arrived at the site and reported in to reception. Following a barrage of questions we were finally allocated a hardstanding pitch and left to set-up. The weather had turned for the better and we soon had everything done and relaxed in the ‘van for the rest of the night.

Sunday, we headed for a walk into Barnard Castle itself. This is a good walk from the site using public footpaths, most of which are proper footpaths/roads so it made for quite an easy walk. Barnard Castle is a very typical Northern town, albeit up quite a steep bank! We enjoyed a wander around, stopped for a coffee and then headed back to the site. The weather was still very pleasant so we managed to sit out on a couple of occasions. We retired to the ‘van when the sun went down and enjoyed the rest of the day.

The site itself is well set out. There are 5 hardstanding pitches and a field behind which hold a lot more grass pitches. EHU is available and rated at 10A. Water, CDP and waste is all available from a utility building situated by the toilet block. The toilet block is based inside one of the outbuildings and is of a good standard. Showers are also provided, although we didn’t use them. My only gripe would be the booking in procedure, which seems at odds with what we requested. Our booking was placed via phone, as email is not an option. A landline number must be given as well, a mobile phone is not accepted apparently? I requested a hardstanding pitch with EHU at the time of booking, when we arrived we were asked if a grass pitch would be acceptable as only one hardstanding pitch was left, and another motorhome might arrive? No, we’d like our hardstanding pitch as ordered please, especially following the rain we’d just experienced. Despite this odd booking experience the site is very nice and well priced.
