Family BH Break - As Wanted

We had booked a serviced pitch when bookings were first available for a long BH weekend to enjoy family time. The drain on the newly built serviced pitches are just simple enough to work well. Using the solid pipe method, as here http://caravanchronicles.com/2013/05/26/connecting-your-drainage-on-serviced-pitches/ the hinged cover on the drain holds the pipe in place. Arriving early on friday it was amusing to find 2 other dads had towed down to pitch up then go collect the family after school/work. Air awning erection single handed makes things easier. Family on site and our much awaited break began with a campsite curry as is traditional. Saturday we explored the myriad of cycle paths just outside the site entrance turning right at Ober Corner and following signs with no idea of where our bikes would take us. Tree covered trails lead onto open expanses with the odd beaver dam built in streams and finding a circular route back to site with the evening arrival of horses, ponies and cattle to walk amongst. A Cadac meal cooked and eaten in the open with the setting sun framing the memories created. Sunday we took the car to Milford on Sea for fish & chips in the refurbished Needle Eye Cafe, a tradition sea front cafe that serves superb food at very reasonable prices. The weather was blustery and the Needles in sea mist and low cloud, despite the site in blazing sunshine. Monday we collected elderly parent and used her wheelchair for the first time to go and see the horses and ponies, returning for another Cadac cooked meal that went down well. Evening saw the air awning packed with ease and ready for a leisurely departure this morning. The wardens kept the site pristine, even sweeping gravel off the roads. Grass trimmed. Refuse taken away. Toilet block immaculate. The number of bicycles and demography shows just what this site is for, getting out without a vehicle. We are booked for next year.
