Well we survived! We had booked onto the Chatsworth CC site back in January before we had even picked up our van for this one night (last night) at chatsworth, we live 30 minutes away so thought it would be a good maiden voyage, and we were right!

Made a few rookie errors involving going the wrong side of a barrier but OH Chris totally redeemed himself when reversing our t/a caravan into our pitch. We assumed our neighbours who watched us arriving were saying 'look at these two newbies' but when they used their motor mover to leave it made us less self conscious!

We managed to over fill the waste master and ran out of drinking water but all easily remedied. Oh and we tripped the power and for a horrible moment thought we'd tripped the whole row but fortunately it was just our supply!

Site very busy but people reclusive due to awful weather - bitterly cold wind with a peppering of snow!

We fed my parents and uncle who visited us and our two children (7 month baby and 3 year old boy) were brilliant! 

We are hooked!
