We are travelling South, with the caravan, with an extra body on-board! Yes, this weekend away sees the return of the daughter, it has been many years since she first travelled with us, this will be strange!
We are heading for Thirsk this time, on the outskirts there is a little CS called Venus Campsite. The journey there is swift and easy, the site is located along the A61 just off the A1, so very easy to access. We pulled in to an empty site, and chose pitch #2. We duly set-up and relaxed in the rain. Nothing to do today apart from chill. Sunday, we headed for Thirsk following breakfast. It’s a beautiful little town, as most of the towns are that we are blessed with here in the North of England. We wandered around, had a coffee and then headed for some Sunday lunch. We found a gem of a place called ‘Woodland Lakes Lodges’. This is a superb looking holiday home site with a restaurant which does a superb carvery. Highly recommend here if in the area. Following this, back to the ‘van and chill again!
Venus Campsite is a great CS campsite. Pitches are hardstanding and fully serviced with fresh water and grey water drain. EHU is 10A. A toilet, sink and shower are available in a portacabin style building. At the rear of this is an outdoor sink, with CDP and bins alongside. A better site than the racecourse site along the road in my opinion, although we haven’t been there. The facilities here tick more boxes for us. Sarah the owner made a brief appearance to check everything was okay for us, a very pleasant person.
