First trip out in our caravan.
We have just enjoyed our first weekend away in our "new" caravan. we only went to burton constable holiday park which is only at sproatley but it was a thoroughly enjoyable weekend. I took the van there on thursday as i was working on friday until 6 o clock.When I finished work I came home and picked Tracy and Brian up took them to the van and they just had to walk in as everything was in place and we were only charged £3 for leaving it set up for the night so it made sense to do it that way. whilst they were settling in to our home for the weekend I went back to bilton and picked James up from his rugby training. We took the dog, but to be honest he doesnt really like being chained up so we might not take him again but we had no one to look after him. We were going to come home on sunday because Tracy was at work on monday morning but I said why dont we stay until monday and i will take you to work from here. We came home sunday to pick her work stuff up and also dropped Brian off at home with the dog as he was going to the cinema last night with his friend so he looked after the dog at home and we went back. There isnt a lot at the campsite but it is a brilliant place to relax and the fishing lake is brilliant, me and james sat fishing til about 9 30 sunday night and he has had a rod in the water nearly all the weekend, he has caught 70 something fish over the course of the weekend. The caravan itself is brilliant and it has all the mod cons you need like full cooking facilities, a shower, toilet, hot and cold running water,and a fridge. We had some friends come stay over on Saturday night when we had a few drinks and something to eat (they brought a chilli). There were 7 of us in the van altogether (2 couples in the 2 double beds and 3 kids in the awning, there was ample room. Our next outing is when we take it to Yarmouth for a week, we booked it the other week and it is costing us £126 for a week, at those prices the van will pay for itself in no time.
