First half term visit, and we were really impressed
We'd never generally consider camping during half terms or school holidays because, being retired, we can go whenever we want - so we usually leave it for those without a choice. We'd gone out of necessity, to attend an old friend's funeral at Cambridge and although Cherry Hinton is nice enough, there is little to do there apart from visit Cambridge and spend. At Ferry Meadows, we get a different vista every month, and autumn makes this a very pretty and photogenic area. It's also fun for the kids, that's why there were only 3 or 4 pitches left when we arrived around 12:30 on Saturday. The steam railway team were up to their halloween tricks, having decorated the station up with cauldron, ghosts and spiders - all in readiness for the Wizard Express late night train visit which we were invited back to see. A good time, lots to see and photograph, kids all seemed to enjoy themselves and they were quiet and in bed (or nearly in bed) by 9pm. Hard standings on all pitches would allow many more to visit - hint hint, unless they enjoy living like mudskippers.
