3rd - 6th of May (Mayday Weekend)

I haven't really explored the Welsh borders yet - it's great to have all this countryside to discover.

 

Lord Congi WoodyLubber yeah i do go to wales A LOT lol, this year we decided to go more often in the van but not tour wales as much, we spent stupid petrol money last year driving about so decided local and often was best, what places in the lake district do you recommend? what M6 junction is it at?

 

True mate stunning ,doing Llangollen next week ,then doing a summer tour from Snowdonia down the coast to Pembrokeshire in June
Carlot25 is on the llyn peninsula as we speak.

 

Lord Congi abbey farm?

 

I'd go to the Penrith exit then do the lakes North to South (only about 30 miles) go Keswick ,then Ullswater then Windermere then Coniston
But prefer the North lakes really ,more spectacular.

 

Yes

 

Thats Congis side Ricky, I just go North Yorkshire and it just merges into the Lakes, I love wales really I went Shell island ( Llanbedr) http://www.shellisland.co.uk/camping.html the other year then drove all the way through the middle of Wales to get to the Gower, Brilliant

 

Pop? 250 miles each way to Penrith. I haven't been to the lakes for ages. I haven't been anywhere nice for ages.
When I move it'll still be 200 each way. I'm glad I haven't moved yet, maybe I should head further North...
Then again I want to go to the South coast too and that's 150 each way.
Damn and bugger it.

 

Fancy a couple of visitors? Might have a word with Stacy and see if she wants to pop up as it is not too far away?

 

moley76 texted you

 

20 mins from my front door

 

We have decided to go here Saturday for one night http://www.oakfarmpark.co.uk/ and have booked tonight, lady on the phone was really nice, pay on arrival no cancelation fee if it chucks it down & the option to stay another night if its glorious weather.

No showers but they have a purpose built toilet in the field rather than trekking to the farm house, entry to the play barn & other stuff is included with your camping for the duration of our stay & stays open until 10pm exclusively for the campers!

The lady said she has got 3 campervans already booked in which isn't surprising as its not that far from Stanford hall, has anyone booked in already?

Does anyone else fancy joining us???

 

i want to do something but i have a christening late sunday and working sat so its a pain...dammit... x

 

Off to Soundcity music festival in Liverpool, 3-5 th then working

 

I'm sure you can squeeze in a nights camping somewhere

 

Me too! Have to work on Sunday but want to go somewhere on Monday or arrive to meet some peeps Sunday night.
Is there nothing VW on anywhere?

 

Not that I know of of the christening want on I could have got 2 nights and like a proper weekend ... Ah well there will be other times no doubt x

 

Had a really fab weekend, will pop some pics up later as we have a couple of tired rug rats that need feeding, bathing & putting bed

 

We are having a late weekend - tonight and tomorrow in Southport. Judging by the queue of people leaving when we arrived at about 4pm, we have timed it well
