Sat: A ‘focused’ drive to get us here – nothing too bad, just correct lane watching is in order \ud83d\ude42 We arrive over the cobbles, lovely and then booked in. Site very full as expected, but to my joy we managed to secure a pitch right in front of the railway line – woohoo! Weather was variable again, but now very windy. So much so that it took both of us to put the awning up as make things a little easier. Somehow though, we managed to loose the pump bag! We managed tea outside however and then relaxed indoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sun: Still windy, but enjoyed taking photos of the trains as they went past. This has to be the best site for train fans, the line is quite literally 20 metres from the caravan \ud83d\ude42 Picked up some shopping ‘collect & go’ from Tesco in Bury, all went without a hitch – although interesting to note the number of people trying to enter the store at 10am when it doesn’t open until 11am!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon: Rained all day – stayed inside and cleaned the caravan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tue: Took a trip into Bury, to see the infamous ‘Bury Market’. It wasn’t open today, but we looked around the rest of the shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wed: The day for a trip on the East Lancs Railway! We caught the train from the platform at Burrs Country Park at 10.15am and journeyed on up to Rawtenstall. Here the train runs around and journeys all the way back down the line to Heywood Station. On the return journey, the train stops at Bury for quite some time. This caught us by surprise as we stayed on the train. There was indeed plenty of time to get out and have a look around and a coffee. Never mind, we were soon back at our platform, where we enjoyed drinks and snacks. The line is about 12 miles in length and provides a good day out, well worth a trip. And with the CAMC discount, very keenly priced!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thu & Fri: Relax onsite days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sat: Departure day. Everything went to plan and we had a pleasant journey home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
