What are you all up to

Yes ,5 days at Setthorns, sorted out the help for mum ,just hope they don't let me down !

Go for it HD, hope you have a lovely time!

I am sorry, but I need to have a quick rant tonight. Trying to search for sites, both CLs and Club Sites on CAMC website, and I must have silently muttered every swear word I know tonight. The whole thing is just so shockingly slow and clunky to use. Nothing wrong with my WiFi or connections as other websites are coming up like lightening. It’s not a  good shop window for the Club at all. What should take seconds in terms of looking, checking and booking turns into a sort of endurance test!

Apologies, but I had to open a pressure valve

Please  be  aware  TTDA,  that  some  of  us  are  quite  willing  to  accept  a  bloomin'  good  mutter,  chunter,  grouse  or  similar  with  the  good  grace  we  would  hope  to  receive  when  it's  our  turn  !!  No  need  to  fret,  worry  or  apologise  at  all    just  stand  back,  take  a  deep  breath  and  then  LET  RIP !

Guess that Pardon Hill was full then. Enjoy Sudeley tomorrow. How far do you want to go, but if Stratford is on your list of spots to visit I can recommend Monks Barn Fm. They're likely to have a H/S pitch available.

Not quite as cold last night as we had no frost on the car this morning, but there was still a chill wind blowing. There had been hail and sleet showers on Dartmoor the previous day. Packed up and away before 9:45 and got to Marsh Farm, Trowbridge just after noon. It was fine and sunny but still with a chilly breeze here, but we were sheltered from the wind on our walk along the Kennet & Avon Canal after lunch, and were fortunate to spot a Kingfisher with a fish in it's beak.

Hope you've found somewhere TDA, if not did you see this one near Snitterfield, a good base there for several places around Stratford and Warwick.

We stayed there last year. Recommended.

 That was a hard frost this morning. Lovely sunny day though.

Decided to tackle the front bedroom today while OH swapped the car tyres around.

Found out that the tv in the front bedroom wasn't working, no signal. So took it into the dinning room to check it out, nothing wrong with the tv so must be the coax. Checked the  cable in the house nothing wrong there so over to OH to check outside. Out with the roof ladder and ladder to get onto the roof (we live in a bungalow) up he goes to the aerial all ok at the connection box, so must be the coax that runs down the roof. Yep! that had gone brittle and split. All now replaced and working fine, isn't it nice to have someone who can do that,

Tomorrow I have to wait in all day for the boiler man to come and service it, it should have been done before we went to France but he broke down. OH off to Dundee with Mum's hearing aid its not working, couldn't get and appointment in Perth for another 2 weeks.

Yep - it is getting to that time of year when Jack Frost is prowling around, followed by the Ice Queen and all sorts of unsavoury cold characters, Time to light the log fire,open your favourite tipple and hunker down.

Enjoy your winter folks see you after my hibernation period.

Thanks one and all! We were the last arrivals for the year at Notgrove (Bourton) last night, having decided to drive up from Berkeley. We had a steady easy drive, and enjoyed this great little site for a tad over £14, so, a bargain. Colours on drive up through Cotswolds were lovely, and we were up early and off to Sudeley Castle this morning. Very interesting place. We have decided to finish off this tour at Warwick Racecourse, again a bargain at only £15.20 per night. We are parked up against rails tonight, looking forward to either a bike ride or a stroll into Warwick tomorrow.

We have had a superb little tour, despite a few hiccups (snapped exhaust, torrential rain and hold ups on M1, all on first day!), have had 16 nights out, using four Club Sites (Exeter Hurn Lane Bourton and Warwick) two new to us CLs, both superb examples (thank you Nellie!) and an old favourite CL in the process of being revamped. The weather has been brilliant for the time of year, especially Cornwall, and although it’s now much colder, the sun is still shining each day. We managed to meet up with some friends and share some great food and a lot of laughs, and have seen some interesting places that have long been on our must visit list.

I have just tried working out our average nightly fee, and it’s come out somewhere around the £14.50 mark. All but one of the Club Sites and one of the CLs had full facilities and one even had a swimming pool and spa pool for a small extra charge! So we call that a darn good time away, for next to nothing. We have only put fuel into MH once as well. Not bad as we have done close to 800 miles, and still have half a tank of fuel left! 

So, Warwick will be our last night out tomorrow, home from there, and our next trip out is booked for early December, OH has an interesting birthday to celebrate!
