As usual the Wardens & site were very good for a short break after the wet winter period. Weather very cold but sunny and gave us time to test the van after a winter lay-up. Satellite reception OK, but did not try aerial reception. Site was full for the weekend, although newer end of site not open. Nice walk to Ainsdale & then back through the golf courses to Birkdale. Visited Southport but this seems to be going the way of many towns, with lots of empty shops. Lord street not what it used to be. Had a very good meal at The Fishermans Rest (5 mins walk from site) which has a good menu & daily specials. Also a selection of Real ales which were in good condition. The big disappointment was that quite a few members obviously cannot read speed signs and merrily treat the roads as an extension of the main highways, not great when children playing. However the parents who let unsupervised very young children ride bikes against the flow of traffic, astound me. Apart from the gripe, a very enjoyable short break.
