Another visit to the changing AbbeyWood

It's been a year since our last visit. The actual site remains a favourite for when we want to visit London, coming from Derbyshire. We use the Dart crossing although the sat nav route from the Caravan Club choosing the route in a motorhome/caravan insists on taking a route through the centre of London itself, so caution required if not visited before and reliant on sat navs. Also, the Dart charge must be paid online by midnight the day after travel or a fine will be incurred. The charge for us in our motorhome was £2.50 single. Now to the site. Its the usual CC, shut half off in winter when it comes to toilet blocks, so pitching with care if you need to use these. Ameneties block does the usual, plenty of hot water, clean tidy, less dos and don't s with these friendly Wardens, brilliant. There is some noise, owls, parrekeets, wood pigeons, foxes etc, well what else do you expect near a wood, lovely. The new station is not fully functioning at weekends and maybe closed, need to check if reliant on trips to London by train on Sats and Suns until 2018. It will be spectacular when complete. There are plenty of buses to choose from, just sit back and enjoy the ride make sure allowing loads of travel time though to ale iate the stress you might feel if held up. The 180 has been running over 50 years and still going, take a walk down Crumpsall street, turning right at the end of the 1st part of CS. The stop is there to see. A large Sainsbury is situated on the bridge, no need for a car, just walk! It has everything one could possibly need for a week or so even clothes if you need a fresh look when taking in a show or two as we did during our stay. Getting back late at night from Central London was easy peasy, we took the train direct to Charing Cross, making it central for our visit to the theatres we wanted. The shows were brilliant and we had a fabulous time, we shall save up and return again soon..
