Your perfect day away
Whether you prefer to be in the countryside, in a city, in the mountains or by the sea, relaxing, active or sight seeing, having a picnic, BBQ or pub lunch, what would your perfect day look like when you're away in your caravan or motorhome?

A fine day weather wise, not too hot or windy, with a good size hill or mountain to climb, probably in the Lake District, taking about 4-5 hours in total. Great if there was a decent hostility somewhere en route.
Back home to the caravan sited on a lovely quiet CL somewhere nearby. Quick shower and then sit outside watching the day slowly wind down whilst having a glass of red before popping something tasty in the oven rather than have to stand there cooking. Hopefully have just the natural sounds of the countryside, preferably a skylark or lapwing singing close by.
Bliss.
(Fortunately we have had quite a few of these in the nigh 30 years of being a member so a big thank you to the CAMC)

Two days really......
Caravan.....our favourite Cornish CL, up early 7.30am, drive to Porth Kidney Beach with dogs, walk over dunes onto beach, strip off and a nice swim, then walk back up beach and set up for breakfast in our favourite spot. Sausage sandwiches and a cup of tea, cooked on our little stove, sat watching local fishing boats coming and going, then as the sun gets hotter, and a few more folks arrive on beach, we go for a last dip, dry off, then into Hayle for a Philips Pasty and a Mr B ice cream overlooking the tropical garden along Copperhouse Pool, bird spotting. Then we head off up along coast road that takes you top of St Ives, all along coast, do a bit of a walk somewhere like Zennor or the Cot Valley, pop into a nice old church, then depending on time of year, might watch sunset over Isles of Scilly from Cape Cornwall, back through Mousehole and Penzance to CL! And repeat next day with slight variances😁
MH........stop off at a castle, such as Warkworth, lunch in comfort in our MH, drive to a quite remote unspoilt beach we know near Boulmer, park just above beach, in for a swim, back to MH for a shower or dry off. Do a coastal stroll with dogs beachcombing for shells and driftwood, then unroll canopy, chairs and table out, sit eating a nice cooked meal, listening to nothing but the sound of the sea! Arrive at our chosen CL, bed, sleep, repeat.......😁

Breakfast in the sun under the roll out awning, a walk to the sea or a river, a trip on a boat. A cream tea in a garden, a deli shop for food and back to the van to relax, a book or magazine to read. A simple meal. Then a late evening walk as the sun goes down.

Nothing like a good punch-up to make your day complete!

Waking up at our favourite CL site Faugh Head Farm at Ainstable, with panoramic views of the Eden Valley. Driving to Talkin Fell and walking the fells for a few hours with dogs. Driving back via the Co op in Brampton and buying some crusty bread and chocolate cookies for a very late lunch. Snoozing in van before getting ready for an evening meal out at either The Fox and Pheasant at Armathwaite or The Heather Glen at Ainstable. Sadly no longer possible since this CL closed at the end of last year😢

Woken up 7am by our two dogs who can tell the time better than the clock. Make the first pot of tea which is the best one of the day,then out with the dogs and enjoy watching them run and chase each other, we have two whippets that are very fast, then back for breakfast, then rush to the shower block before the wardens close them for cleaning. Then out some were nice for the day. Sometimes our daughter and husband and children stay on the same site or nearby and we all join up and have a barbecue in the evening, have lots of the red stuff and put the world to right,
