A rally is a cheap and social way of camping. It’s not for everyone as sometimes facilities are somewhat limited. Very limited! But the rewards can be great.

Christmas 2018
So this weekend we attended The Lancs & Cheshire D.A. Family Christmas Party in the car park of a social club in Helsby Cheshire.
One of the things that we have found out that we like about owning a touring caravan is Social Camping. Rallies. Continue reading “Christmas 2018”

We joined the rest of the happy campers on Friday 26th after a long hot day at work we then spent around 3 more hours sitting in traffic on the M56 and the A55. Continue reading “A Long Weekend on Anglesey”
LCDA THS Ruthin Day 4
Easter Sunday, not much is going to be open so it’s a lazy day plus we have to see if the Easter Bunny has been to the site.
Yes the Easter Bunny had been to the site indeed our van appeared to have laid a couple of eggs. There were eggs on the back handles. Soon the kids started to make their way to the Marquee so it won’t be long before there is a small riot as all the kids run around finding as many eggs as they could as quickly as they could.
The Easter Bunny even visited our van. Continue reading “LCDA THS Ruthin Day 4”
LCDA THS Ruthin Day 3
Day 3. Woke early then could not get back off to sleep. I was getting a bit of hip pain in bed. We have decided to invest in a new mattress. There is a definite “dip” in my side of the bed which is not helped by the van not being entirely level on this site. We did invest in a 4″ memory foam topper which helped a bit and made the bed more comfy but it’s just not enough. The van is a 2008 model and we have no idea how much use the bed got for all we know the previous owners lived in it for months at a time and I think most caravan mattresses were never intended for everyday or prolonged use so a new mattress it is.

LCDA THS Ruthin Day 2
Good Friday,
A leisurely morning & breakfast then a trip to Bala to look at the lake and the railway.
En route we nipped into Tesco for the now obligatory stop to collect a few bits that we realised that we have forgotten or thought that we had left in the van for next time only to find the cupboard was bare…. ie no olive oil. Anyway we picked up a Tesco Olive Bread which is one of our favourite treats at any time.
Onward to Bala, nice little town by the famous lake. We pulled into a car park only to discover that neither of us had any cash for the meter and this being rural wales 😉 no card payment options or pay by phone which was everywhere in Cornwall’s car parks in October. Continue reading “LCDA THS Ruthin Day 2”
LCDA THS Ruthin Day 1
I took half a day off work finishing at 11am so that we could get a nice early start and get all set up in the daylight as our plan was to set up the infamous “divorce in a bag” or awning to non campers.
We’re Off On Our Travels With The D.A.
Hopefully by the time this post appears we will be on site at Bathafarn Hall in Ruthin with the Lancs & Cheshire D.A. for their Easter Meet.
Look out for some updates while we are away.
