We have had quite a busy time over the last few days. We drove down to lovely, quiet CL near to our daughter's on Thursday then she and our grandson came and visited us in the afternoon. On Friday we had a walk around Turton & Entwistle Reservoir and then went out for a most enjoyable meal with the family. Yesterday we had riverside walk and then a drive up onto the Moor by Winter Hill and another on the fell opposite. Today we stayed local with a wander around Roddlesworth Res. The reason for our visit was to see our grandson who is heading out to the Far East with the intension of hopefully taking up a post teaching English as a foreign language in Japan from next March. Photos of the CL, a sculpture at Turton, and one looking across to Winter Hill. Thankfully the weather has been king with just the odd spot of rain
Sounds like those that are away are having a good and fingers crossed that the weather stays dry for the rest of their trips.

Some photos from yesterday. Interesting candelabra as it is made from wood. You can see the candles in it. Photo taken from underneath as it looks like a huge spider. It's a wonder there hasn't been a fire.
Last photo is one of the views from Denbigh Castle looking down at a private school and towards the Clwydian Hills.
Nice easy drive home.

I just see a single caravan there in peak season midsummer and think “Mmmm, that’s another site that will soon give up and close for good”

Don't think so, as it is not what one would call a money making enterprise, it has never been very busy. Great value at £15 pn with EHU, in the sunnier months, grand views and close to major routes but nice and quiet even through the day.

We have had a little drizzle this evening after another fine dry day. We visited Sunnyhurst County Park today and had a walk around to Earlsdale Reservoir, which we hadn't visited before. The view below is of Darwen Tower overlooking the Res. Last night here before we head on yo our next port of call.

One of my old stopping grounds, it was one of our Good Friday walks with the youth club, up thru Sunnyhurst wood and on to Darwen Tower beautiful area.
bit grey this morning, but that brisk SSW wind has abated and the Solent is like a mill pond, but it is very sticky, cycled just in shorts this morning, Sorento just away for svc & MOT, hanging on to the old girl, until such time as we give up towing or they sort these EV's into something that is practical for towing.

It’s a good job we are all different. We don’t like busy, over managed sites. Most of our favourite sites are this type of site, pretty, relaxed, plenty of space, quiet, sort of place you can stretch out, read a book in peace, go for a walk, get away from other folks. It’s why we bought a camper, a caravan, a Motorhome. We like more remote cottages as well. Not adverse to city breaks, or big hotels, we have room in our options for those as well.
