Busy weekend away. Ev event at Pulborough on Sat then to Petworth for a stroll. First woodland camp at Graffham c and c site. Sunday morning at Port Solent, met Shaun and Lizzy ABAB (Eva was filmed). Lunch in Salisbury after filling the van with garden planters and storage boxes. These California vans are great utility vehicles!

We love Graffham. Great for access to the South Downs way

How does the NT site compare ? We’ve been members for years but not camped at one of their sites.

A Glen Coe yesterday with the iconic Lagangargh SMC hut in the foreground, was a soggy walk.

Back in Galloway 2 weeks ago, as empty as always, perfect for a Cali.

Really nice quiet (it was midweek though) site, spotless facilities, and a great location. 3 pubs within walking distance and fell routes of varied lengths and height gain straight out of the site.

One of my favourite sites, go every year. Will be there this Saturday for the week and over QPJ w/end. Great walking, biking and the lakes of course, all on the doorstep. And the ginger sticky pudding at the Boot Inn is to die for. First proper trip of the year, worth every bit of the 8 hrs it will take to get there. Love it, can’t wait .

Great site and facilities and very close to a pub which serves great food.

If you are on field as you go in, be cautious if you are on Northern (Left) side and don”t be tempted to go right in under the trees! We moved our pitch after a large and very messy welcome gift from a local woodpigeon. The couple who pitched their driveaway awning in a similar area weren’t so fortunate and will have some cleaning to do . . .

Nice lay-by off the beaten track…….

 

[The Pox]

Just spent the week on the Keswick CCC site. The weather was a bit moody at times - just the way I like it. The views just ten metres from the van were pretty good.

 

[chockswahay]

And another one

 

[chockswahay]

Then a few minutes later the heavens opened and we were treated to this ……… a rainbow below us!

 

[chockswahay]

So then…….. we parked up in a lovely little (fairly remote) Glen and went out for a walk

 

[chockswahay]

When we came back………….. THIS !

 

[chockswahay]

Have we stumbled into another ‘Brigadoon’? Well no, this was actually what happened. What’s the chances eh?
