Cancellations

Unfortunately our first two caravan trips to York Beechwood Grange and Clumber Park have had to be cancelled as SWMBO has undergone knee surgery.

It will probably be May before we will be out again in the van.

All Clean For The New Season

Had the Cadiz professionally cleaned and ceramic coated today by Tony of Mobile Caravan Cleaning Services.

Excellent professional job done can recommend if in the West Yorkshire area.

USB Socket

This may seem a bit obvious and many people have probably already done it, but to give yourself a USB socket at the front put a USB to cigarette plug into the front cigarette socket.

You could double it up with a double USB plug if you like.

Happy Christmas to all my reader(s) and see you all in the new year.

CMC Chapel Lane & the NEC

Well sat here on the Chapel Lane site after a visit to the NEC show yesterday. 

SWMBO is snoring and rain is hammering on the roof. 

It has to be said that this site needs a bit of TLC, most of the tarmacced areas are breaking up leading to very large puddles and the toilet blocks, whilst clean, could do with upgrading. 

We enjoyed the show although it did seem rather quiet compared to previous years. 

As usual we looked at motorhomes, this is where SWMBO'S heart really lies, but they are so expensive. 

The Cadiz soldiers on and I can't see any reason to change just for the sake of it. 

The latest model Cadiz is all very nice but at £35k or so it should be but basically it is little different to ours.

This is our last trip for this year so the Cadiz will be tucked away in storage over the winter. 

I am having it professionally cleaned and surface treated in February so it should look like new when we hit the road again in March. 

Got a weekend away shortly to see the Chatsworth fireworks but having a bit of luxury in a hotel so we have that to look forward to. 

See you all in the new year.

Cat Flap

You don't see many caravans with a cat flap.

Car Damage

My reader(s) may recall back in Norfolk I had a coming together with a wall.

Well after a very reasonably priced visit to Chips Away Wakefield this is the result:-

Very pleased.

CMC Chatsworth Park

We are at present on the above site amid glorious weather.

Had a visit to the house yesterday,been before but always worth a return visit. 

Site is busy as it usually is but did notice one or two empty pitches which is unusual here. 

No caravan issues encountered , shouldn't have said that should I, prepare for a disaster. 

Next outing may be to Blackpool as SWMBO has a desire to see the illuminations.
