Fri: Great weather and a lovely drive to the site. We got held up on the A66 again, as we did last time, but we got through it and arrived in good time. We chose a pitch on the new section again, but this time on the higher level. After a bit of manoeuvring we were set on the pitch. Taking things easy, as it was quite hot, we eventually got everything sorted and enjoyed a drink and relax as we watched the other units arrive. Unfortunately one motorhome decided to park nest to us, blocking our awning vista. Never mind \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sat: A quick trip to the supermarket to pick up a few extra things for the BBQ we would be having later with Kevin & Carole. Quite surprisingly, you have to pay for parking here! We picked up the necessaries and then headed back to the site. Weather was a little overcast, but still very pleasant. We met our friends and headed off for a walk into town. We crossed the river and headed for the castle, avoiding the steep incline of the high street. We enoyed a coffee in Coasta and perused a few of the local small shops. Upon our return back at the campsite we enjoyed a BBQ and some banter. Following this we relaxed for the rest of the night enjoying a new film, namely ‘Ordinary People’. Quite a hard-hitting film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sun: Lovely weather again, but a wee cold breeze kept us from spending too much time outside. We just relaxed for the day, enjoying the site empty and fill up again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon: A frosty start, so the awning was covered in ice. We weren’t expecting that, so back it goes home to dry out. A pleasant journey back to storage and another weekend over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
