A deviation from our traditional run up to the ‘Railway Inn’ this year, as said campsite wasn’t opening until Easter this year for some reason? I’m sure we’ll find out in due course when we return there later in the year.
So for the first weekend of 2019 and Cath’s birthday, we returned to ‘White Water Park’ CAMC Site. We first came here back in 2011, so 8 years later we’re back again! It’s a straight forward sight to reach from the A19 and has plenty of hardstanding pitches, some of which are fully serviced. We booked in and selected our pitch, and duly began setting up. Weather was cold, but dry, so perfectly fine for some Winter Caravanning! Once camp was set, we headed out for a brief walk along by the Tees Barrage and the railway bridge. You could carry on a little further from here and do some shopping at the Teesside Retail Park, but shopping wasn’t on the agenda this weekend. Returning to the ‘van, we had tea and relaxed for the rest of the evening.
Sunday, still a cold dry day. Following breakfast, we headed to Kimberley’s Caravans, now that’s the kind of shopping we like! We eyed up the ‘van we had bought and took some measurements for the awning and bedding etc. We’re getting quite excited for the new ‘van and car this year. Back at base we went to the Beefeater for some Sunday lunch, this is just at the entrance of the campsite, so it’s an easy walk. Sunday came and went and then Monday morning, time to pack up and return back to storage.
