Re: CL with storage near Manchester
There are numerous sites like that, ET. It makes no difference to users when they are separate.
Re: What are you all up to
At last good news for me. I came home from hospital last night. I’m now sitting in a comfy recliner by the Aga catching up with what’s been happening at home.
We don’t think we’ll get away in the caravan this year. A step too far for me. So maybe a couple of nights in a posh hotel later in the year.
Re: What are you all up to
It had stayed fine for most of the day, apart from a couple of short light showers however this evening we had a cloudburst with thunder, heavy rain and some hailstones, but clear blue skies again now. We went to view Midhope Castle (Lallybroch to Outlander fans) and had a short walk down the Glen by Midhope Burn. This location has been by far the busiest with foreign visitors all our trip up to date.
Then onto Blackness for a second walk along by the Firth, but didn't bother going into the Castle as we have been a few times previously.
Tesco,fuel and Aldi on the way back to the site.

Re: What are you all up to
Nice day today in Shrewsbury. Weather kept good - bright but sometimes a little cool. Went to Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings. Originally a Flaxmill that turned into a Malting, and now, an English Heritage property - one of the more unusual ones.....
Then this evening a committee meeting where we've decided on..... guess what!!..... Christmas music programme of songs!! .... in time to order copies to start learning after the summer... 😀 It doesn't seem 5 minutes since last Christmas - but that's the way it works!!
Trying to talk Carol into going to Wroxeter Roman City tomorrow.... There used to be a vineyard there, but rumour has it that it might have closed.... 😢😢

Re: Solo camping
I can't help but wonder what the Club has done to you that you appear to dislike it so much, as you make so many critical or derisory comments about it! None members may pay more, but membership is not exactly expensive and none members have the choice of joining and you only need to stay a few nights to recoup your joining fee.

Re: View from my van window
A bit of a different view from our current CL, taken yesterday, well before the clouds rolled in.
Re: View from my van window
@Cornersteady and @Tinwheeler it is not always the case that they pack them in, with a multitude of flags flying. This is the view from our window on the MSC THS at Milton Events Field, Crathes, Banchory this evening.

Lovely photo @Oneputt
We had a great day out today. Drove to the breeding area of the Little Terns near Prestatyn. A good walk through an area that was both sandy and had Reed beds. Plenty of singing birds around. Whitethroat, Grasshopper Warbler, Reed and Sedge Warblers, Skylarks, Stonechat, Meadow Pipit and of course Little Terns.
Took some photos of Marsh Orchids and Pyramid Orchids but the little blighters wouldn't stay still. Quite breezy but dry.
Plus Brian the Snail
